    Love Wimbledon, the greatest tennis tournament in the world! Channel Nine would be my favourite TV channel for the next two weeks. =)

    Based on all the good reviews for the Grey’s finale, I will definitely be watching that. Hung looks like it could be a fun series too.

    @jay jay – I hadn’t heard that Hung has been cancelled, where did you read that?

    Either way I’ll be watching it, I mean the show :lol: . I know it’s not as good as Weeds or Nurse Jackie but I like it.

    Shouldn’t that be ‘Nurse Jackie’ in edgy dramas with flawed characters? I believe Nurse Betty was a comedy movie.

    season 2 will be the final season

    Mitchell… I didn’t forget. It’s this Friday, the story is about next week. Great ep.

  9. Craig June 16, 2010 at 11:54 am -

    @jay jay – Hung has been given a 2nd season of 10 eps in the US, returning in about 2 week.

  10. Craig June 16, 2010 at 11:51 am -

    @CK – Greys Anatomy – Given what happens in the first few minutes of the next ep I’m wondering what the rating will be at 8:30?

    hung hasnt been axed season 2 starts june 28th in the us

  12. Mitchell June 16, 2010 at 11:28 am -

    David, I can’t believe you forgot about the premier of Being Human season two on friday.

  13. jay jay June 16, 2010 at 10:18 am -

    Grey’s Anatomy final was outstanding.
    Hung – why bother when it was cancelled in the states and is rubbish. It is more suited to 7Two and will probably end up there. I don’t believe it even comes close to Weeds, Nurse Jackie etc.
    Unites States of Tara season 2 is superb.
    Flash Forward – is anyone still watching that?
    24 – I’m excited.

    @Kim Sionga, the greys finale has been heavily promoted fo the last week + as ‘Grey’s Anatomy Lockdown: coming soon’ similar to the Code Black Promotion.

    have people noticed his year, whether shows are fasttracked in October or held of to Feb with a few double episodes they all seem to finish around the same time. that being the case i think holding off is the way to go. you get the episodes in one clean run without a huge gap in the middle over summer and no 2 week breaks just because the US took a break,

    The Greys double season finale is truly amazing. Baileys performance was mind trembling and so real! Drama at it’s best.

    Surprised Seven hasn’t promoted the heck out of it yet.

    Coolness. Hung and United States of Tara!

    And doesn’t season 2 of Being Human start this week? Shamefully, I am also excited by the prospect of season 2 of True Beauty. It’s truly trashtastic!

  17. Jerome June 16, 2010 at 8:32 am -

    don’t forget Ugly Betty Series Final next Friday.

  18. CK June 16, 2010 at 8:25 am -

    If you are a Greys fan – all I can say is Do not miss the season final – the most intense 2 episodes of Grey’s (probably tv) I have ever watched! That’s all I will say!

  19. Bre Saxs June 16, 2010 at 7:50 am -

    What about the revealing of the strangler on Desperate Housewives?
    When Packed To The Rafters returns, will the last episode of the previous season get a replay?

  20. Madame Tango June 16, 2010 at 7:30 am -

    And of course there is Richard Curtis’ episode of Doctor Who, Vincent and The Doctor! This episode is being hailed as the best of the series (although the following week’s The Lodger with its possible flash of the Doctor’s “sonic screwdriver” has also been kicking goals in the UK ratings).

    Hung is great TV but I can’t see it working for Seven’s audience … hopefully I’m wrong
