Woohoo. TEN sees sense with David Letterman and moves it back to a decent timeslot in December. Plus other summer changes....

You blogged. They listened… Â (we’re gonna have to drop the overuse of that one soon).
TEN has seen sense on Letterman.
It’s now moved it back to follow on from the late night run of The 7PM Project.
From Monday November 30 the rule of thumb will now be:
TEN Late News with Sports Tonight
The 7PM Project rpt
The Late Show with David Letterman.
Those replays of show like Medium, Numb3rs, Law & Order: CI etc will now follow Letterman. The downside is Nurse Jackie geta a 1:00am slot. Can’t have it all I guess…
There are other changes too:
Wed Dec 2:
8pm The Simpsons now replaced with Futurama.
10:05pm Californication replaced with Little Britain USA.
This would seem to be a move to accommodate 7PM repeat at a consistent hour. Hopefully it’s still on the cards for summer.
Thu Dec 3
7:30pm Rules of Engagagement is now out replaced by Accidentally on Purpose.

Nurse Jackie is one of the better shows Ch 10 show and they move it to 1am…not good enough.
my god 1am for nuse jackie thats the best show on at the monment god australian channels are nut they move any show to any time cos there no one to fight over expect for 2 channels 7 and 9
Why is TEN bumping repeats of “Rules of Engagement?” I was really looking forward to seeing repeats of my favourite show this summer.
Thank you Ten for moving letterman but why such bad treatment of Nurse Jackie? How about a friday or saturday night slot, there is lots of room there.
This, in a roundabout way, shows the power of Rove. TEN are desperate to make the 7PM Project work because Rove’s company produces it. Running it just 4 hours after it originally has gone to air is ludicrous in my opinion. They should have left Letterman where he was and rolled with the 7PM Project after Letterman, if they really wanted to repeat it. By the way, could someone please tell the 10 execs that people have things like VCRs and DVD recorder players nowadays? If you want to watch something and you’re not home or near a TV just tape it! It doesn’t seem that too many people want to watch the 7PM Project when it goes to air live anyway. Why give everyone a second reason each night to switch off TEN?
why does Nurse jackie have to get bumped down to 1am???
1am Nurse Jackie to make way for 7pm Project repeats?
…and I thought Channel 9 and GO! were bad.
10 should play a Nurse Jackie double for one week at 9:30 after Supernatural, there will only be 2 episodes after this coming Monday. People go on about ratings yet Supernatural never rates well and continues getting perfect treatment. Do channel 10 have a crush on the Supernatural boys?
How about Nurse Jackie replacing Little Britain for two weeks? Please.
Nurse Jackie is on at 1:00!
Why? This is the best new show.
And Ten (seriously) thinks it’s better to schedule Letterman after a program that is being repeated from four hours earlier?
I agree totally with Mark, leterman is as stale as 5 day old toast, just like rove, not funny at all, come on people wake up.
Come on!!! Be honest with yourselves…Letterman is not funny.At.All! Even when taking into account the plethora of US references, He has become as stale as Rove. Seriously, watch it and don’t just follow the forced studio laughter – he really is not funny.
Still not 100% happy. I would prefer Letterman on after the Late Night News. Oh well can’t have it all.
I keep forgetting to watch Nurse Jackie.
That was your suggestion wasn’t it David?
David Blogged – Ten listened…
Thanks TEN, you know it makes sense!
I was expecting 90210 or Melrose to be the summer filler while those Good News Week People take a break.Something to look forward to on a Monday given I am not into Crime Shows or whatever rubbish SBS shows these days in the same timeslot.A little disappointed to say the least so I guess the late night bookstore becomes my friend now.
Here is something Ten could also do regarding the 7pm Project over Summer and that is dump Dr Phil for it.How many of us want to watch a Talk Show Other than Rove but has no relevance to Australians.
What about the shows which are now on after letterman, such as You know you love me and Eureka which are now showing at midnight?
what?!? no Californication! first they don’t fast-track s3 like s1 & 2, then they say they are playing it over summer and then they pull it for more repeats of little britain usa, dumb move since its only 6 episodes and the dvd came out before ten got around to air it the first time.
That’s great !!! They finally listened.
But …
There was nothing wrong with Nurse Jackie’s timeslot to begin with!!!
Why on earth did they move it?
Can they listen again, please?
And fix Jackie’s timeslot please?
It deserves so much better.
Thank you 🙂
I wish the 7pm Project @ Late night was a new episode with them having more adult content.
Although I want to add that last nights 7pm Project Interview with Sam Clark was appalling… Right up there with Hayley Lewis… if they can’t interview their guests properly, don’t have them at all.
is little britain usa new or a repeat of the season we just saw? because new californication should take priority over repeats.
Better get in on this ‘them listening’ thing while the going’s good…
Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych Psych
Please.
Why are they axing RoE repeats, if they continue at that pace they’ll be out of fresh AoP eps within 5 weeks. They’d better give The Office a fair go, its the best show on the network.
