hahaha a Superintendant that the staff like, the show is doomed from the start. It is appalling to watch so many ridiculous police shows in Australia, where did Young Lions, Water Rats etc end up… the scrap heap.

I think the GO! channel should show programs like “Good Times” (70′s sitcom), “The A-Team”, “Knight Rider” & bring back “The Aria Music Show” maybe around 5pm Saturday / Sunday’s. But please do not show “Special Rescue Opps” this show has low budget actors & story lines are crap.

if go is suppose to be for the youth then get rid of seinfeild, get smart and all the other old shows that the youth arent intresting and make a channel of those shows. i dont understand moving shows like gossip girl which a youth aimed show, are they trying to change the demo for the channel or something???

So much for “Cops LAC” being a working title.

Here it comes – reviewer paradise!

“Cops LAC talent”.

“Cops LAC excitement”.

“Cops LAC viewers”.

“Cops LAC timeslot”.

I’d love to see a new channel – the more the better! Nine just need to try and not cannibalise their Go! and Nine audiences with it. The only way Nine can do this is to target the ‘family’, rather than the ‘youth’ that they target now with Go!. It would also have to be on their HD service, and I would not like to loose their HD programming.

I’d like to see a schedule like this:
6am to 9am – Children’s Programs
9am to 12pm – ‘Classic’ sit-coms
12pm to 2pm – Midday Movie
2pm to 4pm – ‘Classic’ sit-coms
4pm to 6pm – ARIA Music Show
6pm to 8:30pm – Family Movie
8:30pm to 11pm – Night Movie
11pm to 12am – Sit-Coms
12am to 3am – Repeats of Nines 8:30 to 11:30 line-up in HD
3am to 6am – Good Morning America (full episode)

Maybe GO! should purchase the rights for Big Brother? BB would be perfect on GO!, but it would be a costly exercise. Can’t wait for the third channel. Hopefully they won’t be arrogant like 7 and give the channel a brand new name, not something like 9two.

@Jeremy Very True. Go is a great channel but they will need to start making their own Australian content if they want to start calling themselves “the new ten”.

“Send In The Sniffer Dogs”? Are they for real? Terrible.

another cop show – great, just what we need.

I guess their plan-b was a medical emergency room show- “Doctors – LAC” (local area clinic) :

The characters in the series would contain 2 college of surgeons graduates, one male, 29, one female, 19; a third generation doctor who wants to become a surgeon; an ‘old school’ Senior doctor on the cusp of retirement; an early 30s surgeon who can read human behaviour in an instant; a mid-40s female doctor with an impeccable work ethic; and a nurse who is smart, strategic, and respected by his peers.

Not usual for a network CEO to trash their own network as ‘old’. It’s true, but stupid for him to admit.

Ten make aussie shows. Go just buys shows from the states. For GO! to become the new Ten they need to get off their ass and actually make some new shows.

I don’t buy Go being the new Channel 10 after watching Drop Dead Diva last night and seeing their Saturday night line-up – Green Acres, Get Smart and Hogans Heroes…?!?!?! I was watching a lot more Go, but these new programming decisions that are being made has made me turn off it very quickly. Gossip Girl in a ridiculous timeslot, taking The Hills off Saturdays, changing the Saturday night lineup into 40 years ago…

I think I will find myself being LAC intolerant in 2010.
I would assume the new channel will have to be in HD, unless go moves to HD, and the new one takes the SD format. The bitrate for all these secondary channels are horrible and need to be fixed. The 7TWO and SBS2 watermarks are like a smear on the screen on some nights. I think the new channels only seem almost perfect on a CRT TV. HD Plasma and LCD, not so good.

Cant wait for catchup eps of 20:1, Two and a Half Men! Not!

Winter Olympics would be the perfect time to launch the new channel – which has to be HD as Nine and GO need to stay in SD. But they would need to make sure they show key Nine shows that are made in HD like Underbelly on the HD channel as well even if not at the same time.
