At last 2.5 men episodes that follow A Current Affair at 7pm weeknights get a break for the summer.
Got to love those home videos even though some of them might seem cruel.It may not be the Price is Right or Temptation but anything has got to be an improvement up against How I met your Mother or 7pm Project.

The Only decent programming Nine gives us these days is Hi 5 for those of us with young children and for the rest of us Ellen,Getaway,The Shak,Farmer Wants a Wife,RPA and Ladette to Lady.
The Rest of the Programming in most cases since Kerry Packer died is rubbish.
I would not be surprised come 2010 that they replace the lovable childrens icon Humphrey Bear for most of the year as their 3:30pm offering with more of that Charlie Sheen Rubbish.

Nine’s whole strategy seem to rely on 2.5 Men and 20 to 1, 50 to 1. Just waiting for a week of 50 to 1 with 100 to 1 on weekends.

Channel 9 haven’t been able to put a decent programming schedule together for years.

Whatever happened to the Nine of Old as in 5:30pm Price is Right,7pm Sale of the Century/Temptation and some of the best comedies around of the Kerry Packer Era.
You look at the rubbish they have now and apart from Postcards,Getaway or Ladette to Lady I won’t watch any of their shows.
Get Rid of that 2.5 men and If you must spend some money for a game show

the ad for men makes it sound as if where reliving the journey of Charlie and Chelsea’s relationship, even though it only began a few month ago, yeah this is a lot better than new eps of men and big thank! not!

They also have 3 2.5 Men in a row Friday night. They (as in Nine) do this becasue people keep watching it.

And if you have Foxtel and are having 7pm withdrawals for 2.5 Men from next week, you’ll be able to see it on Arena (used to be on FOX8) 7pm Mon – Fri.

Hurry Up and Bring Back the Price Is Right for 2010.

It was a successful formula that worked in the nineties and most of this century and honestly how much does it cost to make such a programme.

Those Two and a Half Men should be kept for the 3;30pm timeslot during the part of the year they don’t show Hi 5 now that Humphrey is gone.

I despise Two and a Half Men so much, but I do like that Nine’s endless repeats of it take the criticism off Ten and their Simpsons repeats. It becomes the lesser of two evils in a way.

I honestly wish the government would revoke Nine’s licence to air a tv channel. Because they repeatedly abuse their privilege.

Ridiculous.

They’ve show 2 1/2 men so often that it’s becoming possible to quote whole sections of the show without even trying…ditch this notion that Charlie and the gang, or good old Bert and his countdowns are suitable bandaids to plaster over a terminally woeful programming schedule.

Forget the first aid measures – this channel needs a transfusion of new shows to bring it back to health.

How hard is it for Nine to go back to the Drawing Board for something new and different for their evening comedy and light entertainment line ups.

I can’t believe that Sheen gets more air time on Nine than Humphrey Bear,Hi 5,A Current Affair,Hot Seat,Postcards or any of Nines Home Grown Programming except for Crime Shows and Football.

So are they back yet?

Somehow I don’t thing we’ll see Sale/Temptation on our screens again but maybe they need another game show instead of the constant 2.5 Men re-runs.

Even if you exclude the 7pm weekday showing, it’s still way too much Two and a Half Men. I have never seen a show scheduled like this before…

2.5men for 9 is like 9.5 times a day. Just give up on them, they’re due for a cutting and by the way if nine want to flip flop they might want that as a game show title and not a network motive. Maybe Morello could sell them some joy!

I just viewed an ad for this with Nine billing three repeat episodes of 2.5 Men in a row as a Special Event. How can it be a Special Event if it happens every other week of the year.
