Major changes coming to Wednesdays on 7TWO next month with a new line-up replacing Lost.

Wednesday June 2
7:30pm Beauty & The Geek (US)
A group of nine geeks and nine beauties hit the mansion and meet for the first time. But the social experiment evolves bringing a whole new twist, this time it’s the guys against the girls!
8:30pm Knight Rider
Mike and Kitt are assigned a seemingly easy package delivery – until they realise the package is actually a man with vital top secret code decryption built into his DNA.
9:30pm Reaper
S1E14 “Rebellion”. Steve and Tony tell Sam they want to exploit Sam’s relationship with the Devil to lure him into a trap where the other demons can then destroy him. Meanwhile, Ted asks Sock’s permission to ask Josie out on a date.
10:30pm The Riches
Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver star as Wayne and Dahlia Malloy who head a gypsy family on the run after stealing money from the extended family bank. An unfortunate accident provides a great opportunity when they obtain the identity of a well-to-do ‘normal family,’ becoming ‘the Riches’. Seduced by the idea of a bigger life for themselves, and armed with the keys to a new house in a posh neighborhood, they soon find that suburban life is more twisted and challenging than anything they’ve ever experienced.
11:40pm Mercy
12:30am Kings final

7TWO also has Packed to the Rafters airing from its very first episode 6:30pm Sunday May 30 and a repeat of the (very average) Knight Rider telemovie at 8:30pm ahead of the series rollout.

Seven had promised the new Knight Rider series as far back as 2008, but the show was axed with 17 episodes completed.

  2. I recommend watching Reaper from here on in, it becomes a Lot better in the same way Buffy season 2 and Supernatural season 4 completely shat on the years before it.

    Season 2 is even better. A shame The CW would rather keep tired old crap like Smallville and One Tree Hill on while cutting off a witty, original show in its early stages.

  3. Good to see PTTR repeats coming to 7TWO. I only started watching from the wedding at the end of Season 2.

    Beauty and the Geek should be interesting to watch now that we’ve seen the Australian version.

  4. Finally bringing back Reaper after removing without warning. Now I have a reason to watch 7TWO again. Might also check out Knight Rider.

  8. Good news that Reaper is coming back.
    The Riches is also a quality show with a great story line and good actors like Breaking Bad and is worth watching.
    Sad to see Kings ending.

  9. Good I forgot about October Road, I remember Seven using it in one of there New Year promotions as one of the shows ‘coming soon’ I miss it, shame it was cancelled too soon!

    Weird Seven would give up the rights to such a top rating new show.

    OT when is Hallmark going to 16:9?

  10. Interesting decision to air PTTR repeats at 6.30pm. Given some episodes are rated M, they may require massive editing to fit the timeslot.

  12. btw, there were people wondering when the wheels would start turning on season 2 of B&TG Aus. the website seems to have woken up a bit and posted a new casting call video, could be a sign.

  16. Craig, seven has only recently regained rights to packed to the rafters season 1 after hallmark did not renew their 1yr deal. according to the producer who comments on the yahoo7 website.

    i’ll be watching beauty and the geek. my favourite reality franchise.

    maybe october road and my own worst enemy for tuesdays when 24 is over?

  18. You mean the 2 hours Knight Rider Ford advert don’t you David?

    Good to see them finally getting the back of the Seven closet and showing KR, also bringing back Reaper.

    I’m amazed Seven hasn’t been running the first 2 Rafters seasons on 7TWO yet, I’m sure it will rate.
