Nah-I bet regular Millionaire could do in a 7:30 (Temptation-if they can rework the format again, say for 2001-2012)-great month by abstract writeup by the way
Even If You have to find New Hosts Bring Back Temptation for 2010.
How much more Charlie Sheen Crap can we all take.
Got my hopes up for a moment there when I saw the Temptation image David.. Before I read the headline I thought maybe Nine had come to their senses 🙁
But I’m with Tepee, I do love a good retrospective of the year. I look forward to reading the rest – hopefully not too much work for you during your well earned hiatus!
David can I say going through television in 2009 month by month is a splendid idea. Temptation is missed dearly. How 2.5 Men repeats are rating better is beyond me.
Thanks Teepee…. once I started I wondered whether anyone would be interested or not.
A crying shame Temptation was axed – Axed! – what a poor decision that has been. Please bring it back Nine, put it a 5:30 if need be, but it’s basically the only show you had which was worth tuning in for.
Bring Back Smallville, Every Hates Chris, Living With Fran, Freddie, The War At Home, Let Make A Deal, Celerity Singing Bee & Celerity Square.
Thank You
Bring Back Temptaton On Nine Network In January – February 2010
Thank You
