    It’s kinda shameful (in my opinion) how much American stuff Prime forces upon us to watch.

  2. nelly says:

    huh!?!?? AD is waaaay better than FG! crzy

  3. Josh says:

    WTF American dad>>>>>>>>>>…family guy

  4. Bazza says:

    @franz

    They’re all repeats, nothing new, so fans of the show aren’t getting any kind of treat. In fact all Family Guy episodes have been repeats for a while now. It’s kind of hard to work out why, exactly, they need to replace brand new episodes of American Dad with old episodes of Family Guy, it’s not like we’re talking a prime time slot or anything.

    But hey, TV programming execs are clearly from another planet.

  5. Mike Retter says:

    Crud. American dad is so much better.

  6. Kuttsywood says:

    Seth Time… Sounds like the perfect name for a Saturday night block for 7Two.
    7:30 Family Guy Hour (one new ep, one repeat)
    8:30 American Dad Hour (one new ep, one repeat)

  7. Damo says:

    Couldn’t Seven air the remaining “new” King of the Hill episodes on 7Two, even if it was at some ridiculous hour? Or at least allow Fox8 to show them. Too much Family Guy coming up…

  8. Johnson says:

    Family Guy is close to being Seven’s equivalent of Two and a Half Men, fortunately it’s only for the final week of ratings season. I love double episodes of The Amazing Race though, it means we should only be one week behind the US.

  9. franz chong says:

    That is good for the family guy fans out there who have not seen some of the Episodes.There were times every Thursday where I would miss parts of an episode due to getting in from work around the time the show begins.

    The biggest mistake they ever did with Family Guy was replacing that and Glenn Robbins Out of the Question with a Full Hour of Greys Anatomy last year and part of this year…Hello Channel 7 people want laughter not full on medical programming on a Thursday Night

  10. vinny says:

    I know it is hard to find a time slot for these shows (Family Guy, American Dad),
    because other shows are on at 7.30pm to 9.30pm

    but how about putting it on, on Saturday or Sunday on 7TWO around 8.30pm OR 9PM like GO! does with South Park.

    We would only have 1 day then of “Life – time” shows on Friday on 7TWO, but I think 1 day is more than enough.

  11. Tbone23 says:

    Channel7 are crazy American Dad is way th better show :(

  12. Dyllip says:

    Boring… Family Guy is crap repeats everybody has seen 10000 times on DVD, I mean cmon. American Dad repeats are more entertaining as people tend to buy Family Guy on DVD instead (Don’t know why because its minimum funny).

  13. Andrew says:

    Geez 7 is behind the eight ball with Family Guy! They only just now realized it was popular? It’s still on too late though.

  14. David Knox says:

    Family Guy is all repeats.

    Private Practice is all new.

  15. Tasha says:

    Double Castle, and Double Private Practice. That is too kind of Seven :)

    Is Merry Madagascar part of the Madagascar movie series? Stupid question, i know, but y’know :p

    So much Family Guy, but are they new episodes or repeats? Well some of them say rpt, but the ones that dont, are they new?

  16. Brodie says:

    Great news re. Family Guy replacing American Dad. The latter is so tame compared to the former.

  17. Whoops says:

    Those are only American Dad repeats so I’m not fussed – I’ll take more family guy.
    Neon kitten I think you will find that all of those double eps will make most printed tv guides.
    Santa Clause 3 is a premiere so they’d never play it out of ratings.

  18. Jerome says:

    very competitive final week, look at those movies. ch7’s 2 highest grossing movie grabs of the year within 2 days.

  19. Michael says:

    Have Seven ever had any American Dad! news that wasn’t bad?

  20. Personally I prefer american dad over family guy.

  21. Neon Kitten says:

    It’s kind of bad news all round if you rely on printed TV guides, basically.

    Sigh.

    Good luck with your size contest, execs.

  22. Russell says:

    All that Family Guy (8 episodes in 10 days!) tells me Seven is trying to lift demo shares big time.

  23. Craig says:

    Private Practice is that 2 new eps or one re-run?

    Why now save The Santa Clause 3 for closer to xMas?

    OT – I how we get Bad Santa again this year :)
