Seven has unplugged The White Room from 7:30pm Thursday night effective immediately.

The panel show hosted by Tony Moclair and Julian Schiller had aired for two weeks rating 812,000 and 678,000.

It will be replaced by new episodes of Ghost Whisperer.

Meanwhile Seven is removing repeats of Ghost Whisperer from late on Tuesday nights to be replaced by documentaries. Next week The Diet That Time Forgot screens at 10:30pm while Super Skinny Me follows on March 9th.

The outcome for The White Room remains unclear, whether moved to a new timeslot or out of schedule entirely.

Reception to the new TV trivia show, widely seen as Seven’s latest attempt to develop its own Spicks and Specks-style show, was not positive.

Seven will also remove ICU after this Wednesday to be replaced by Crash Investigation Unit, but is performing much better with its other new show My Kitchen Rules.

  6. The White Room is added to 7’s Comedy Hall of Shame…

    The Chat Room Hamish and Andy 100% Tony Squires Let Loose Live Double Take TV Burp Mulray The Night Cap You May be Right Greeks on the Roof Big Bite Big Girls Blouse The Comedy Sale Jimeon The Erica Bana Show Live

    I wouldn’t be feeling too confident if I was Matthew Johns or Peter Helliar!!!

  7. Ehh, Ghost Whisperer is zzzzzzworthy

    my ideal Thu night:
    7:30 HIMYM (would rate better earlier)
    8:00 The Amazing Race
    9:00 Cougar Town
    9:30 Family Guy marathon til midnight.

    I don’t see why the networks always insist on hour long shows going from 7:30-8:30, 8:30-9:30, 9:30-10:30 etc……. what’s wrong with having a show 8-9, 9-10 etc.? The US do it like that.

  8. I watched The White Room for both weeks and tried very hard to like it. But I just couldn’t bear another episode as is.

    I don’t don’t see the point of having two hosts on this show. There isn’t enough for each to do to merit two. One of the reasons Spicks and Specks works so well is it leaves you wanting just a bit more at half an hour. This show lost me in the second half. Some of the segments run far too long and some are just annoying. Also, having two regular members for each team is overkill and I suspect the jokes would wear thin very quickly. The set is probably one of the starkest, most boring sets ever on a quiz show. I think with a bit of reworking, there might be some hope for this show but it is just trying way too hard on everything.

  16. I was one of those thousands of viewers lost between week 1 & week 2, so can’t really blame them. But I did think it was awful only because everyone was trying too hard, and that it would settle down to be OK.

    How about giving us back TV Burp, then?

  17. Talent will fail too (which is kinda good)
    Seven just having a lazy year until digital and sport is opened up and Nine go belly up or more correctly get listed and sold off bythe private equity leaches.

  19. David I know you’ve got nothing better to do than chase up program schedule details 🙂 But… have Seven given any clue what they intend doing with Benidorm, seeing as they promoted it to bits over January with a debut date advertised, but then never showed it. I’m ready to buy it on DVD but if Seven/7TWO have got it just around the corner I might hold off.

  20. Looks like The White Room for 7Two!

    They should put Cougar Town on Monday nights after Desperate Housewives, how they gonna run it now following a drama about dead people?
