As expected, Rush is back to Thursday nights on TEN from 8:30pm Thursday July 22nd.

This is the third season for the energetic TEN drama.

It will get just one week with a MasterChef lead-in, which is a little disappointing. Had it premiered earlier it might have built a better following this year. Presumably production delivery didn’t coincide.

There are some very US-style promos for the show running around. Even the voice-over guy sounds like he should be plugging a Tom Cruise flick.

An attack on a police helicopter and a series of car bombings appear to be unrelated events until it emerges that they form part of an elaborate attempt to rob a cash-holding facility.

  1. As someone who loves the movie Speed and movies like it, I like the promo.

    And yes, this ad is a spoof of over the top American movie trailers, I hope the show lives up to it.

  5. @Craig Sea Patrol has 16 eps so 4 eps to go. Will be against Rush for two.

    Will be very interesting to see this battle. First time two Aussie dramas have gone head to head since Rush v All Saints in 08.

    I say SP will win but not by much, I’ll have to record one because I love both showsl

  8. I agree about the promo, it doesn’t really suit the tone of the show. When I first saw it I thought it might be a new Rush game … and the graphics in that add at the end…looks more like it should be advertising a razor!

    Love the show tho, and will Definitely be watching…can’t wait! 🙂

  9. I cant wait for Rush; its one of my favourites. I hope they drop the American accent though, its wierd. I wish it all the best, its grown so much over its first 2 seasons.

  10. “Had it premiered earlier it might have built a better following this year.”

    I disagree. Last year it also had a week of MasterChef lead-in and did exactly the same ratings as the following week when it was after Rules of Engagement. It only dipped when Nine put new CSI against it.

  11. Those new promos are the a total embarrassment, definately pitching it to the lowest common denominator this year.

    Hope the shows writing has not been done by whoever put the promo together

  13. i don’t like the promo, i thought it looked like it was advertising some kind of spoof.

    it’s going to need a lot of support to rate well. surprising bondi vet got priority next week, it wouldcale be better off starting next week and having 2 weeks with MC leadin, they probably could have done 3 weeks if they handled glee better and used the thursday AFL as a transition. surely the production ndar would have allowed it to air 1 or 2 weeks earlier. especially with the commonwealth games meaning there will nw have to be 5 double episodes if they want to finish it in the ratings year.

  14. Yeah… “American”… twenty minutes of editing and guys screaming their lines doesn’t make it American, it makes it mediocre. Perhaps they should watch some ER or Lost promos.

  19. im so happy that this show is coming back its the only aussie drama show that i like.

    The only thing I hate is the cheesey voice over guy in the new promo its so not needed and the flash 3d words.
