   David, any word on Grimm?

2. Tasmanian de√il September 6, 2011 at 5:38 pm -

   This year’s new shows that interest me are Ringer, How To Be A Gentleman, Terra Nova, Person Of Interest, Allen Gregory, New Girl, Touch, Awake, The River and Missing. Awake would be my No. 1 highlight, it would be nice to see it get a reasonable treatment by whichever Australian network obtains the rights.

   PS: The best thing about this list is that Nine has not (yet) obtained any comedy series…

   The British Strike Back was on the ABC this year, I know as I watched it, Saturdays.

4. Nik C September 6, 2011 at 3:31 pm -

   At this stage they are all just names of TV shows. Most comedy won’t appeal to me and depending on how thbe networks treat and promote the other shows I will be lucky if I manage to enjoy one….

   Man Up on Channel 7?

   What about Last Man Standing?

6. Lauren September 6, 2011 at 12:02 pm -

   @Marco its called Awake.

7. Simon September 6, 2011 at 9:37 am -

   Alphas is an excellent, excellent show. Sadly, being a sci-fi show, it will get shafted and end up at 10.30pm on a Tuesday night, just before the reruns of a 70s Australian drama.

8. Marco September 6, 2011 at 9:24 am -

   Ringer (for Sarah Michelle Gellar), Person of Interest (for Benjamin Linus), Once Upon A Time, Secret Circle and Charlie’s Angels I’ll take a punt on. There was also a trailer I saw for a show I can’t remember the name of where a man is getting counseling after a car crash in which his family was involved, but in one reality his wife died, in the other his son died…looked really interesting.

9. Peter September 6, 2011 at 7:26 am -

   Oh yeah, I’ve got complete confidence that Nine will treat Alcatraz and Person of Interest with the respect they deserve, and not just shunt them to 11pm on week three…

10. Craig September 6, 2011 at 7:21 am -

    Speaking of The Playboy Club, checking wiki and apparently NBC might get an edited version but International (and future DVDs) might contain more nudity and sex. So in this case it might be better to wait for it on Nine?

    MuchoTB – this Strike Back is the second series of the UK version made by Sky – they’ve basically struck a co-production deal with Cinemax in the US.

    Looks like some interesting shows there, Pan Am looks really cool, i like retro type shows. However i will not be watching any of the shows on Nine because as we know they like screwing over their viewers, Camelot getting just one episode before being dumped was the last straw, i will be relying on alternative viewing methods…

13. A. September 6, 2011 at 1:07 am -

    Thanks David.

    I’ll admit Once Upon a Time interests me I just hope they don’t kill it on Monday. Also I’m curious about Alcatraz and maybe Person of Interest. I’m surprised they don’t list Terra Nova on Ten however. If it has a good timeslot I might give it a chance.

14. Kevin September 6, 2011 at 12:28 am -

    I’m be surprised if Pan Am gets renewed for a second full series, but Charlie’s Angels will do well for Nine, since unlike the 2 stupid CA films, the characters are back to using guns. Nine will also get the new Dallas remake series for next year.
    Nine seem like they’ll have the rights to Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, as it’s from Warner Bros TV, but not being a cable show, it’d be too sanitised.

15. Luke September 5, 2011 at 11:36 pm -

    Wow… What a disappointment to Channel 10… Did they even try to get any of the big hyped shows? Or did they just put all their money in Terranova and Glee?
    But hey, atleast they’re not doing what Channel 7 is clearly doing– picking as much as they can, and then just throwing them at the wall and seeing what sticks…

    Also- where is Ringer and Chelsea Handler’s show going?
    I’m thinking Ringer will be a Go! show- and Chelsea’s will end up on Nine’s line up.

16. Paige September 5, 2011 at 11:21 pm -

    What channel is The Ringer going to be on ?

17. koverstreet September 5, 2011 at 10:57 pm -

    Nine are showing promos for Person of Interest & 2 Broke Girls both of which look good. The Finder could be interesting going by the Bones ep,or it could be a flop.

18. Belinda September 5, 2011 at 10:43 pm -

    Strikeback was on Cinemax in the US and stars Australia’s Sullivan Stapleton.

19. Nathan September 5, 2011 at 10:17 pm -

    How many are going to last, how many are going to stay in a decent time slot.

20. Secret Squïrrel September 5, 2011 at 9:55 pm -

    I’d take Nine’s list with a rather large bag of salt – we’re still waiting for some shows that we were told last year were “coming soon”. Ten’s record isn’t that much better.

21. mobo September 5, 2011 at 9:35 pm -

    Person of Interest, Alcatraz, Pan Am, Homeland and The River have all piqued my interest.

22. Johnson September 5, 2011 at 9:05 pm -

    Pan Am and Charlie’s Angels are both co-produced by Sony Pictures, so they will go to Nine under the current output deal.

23. MuchoTB September 5, 2011 at 8:58 pm -

    edit: just read Against the Wall is a police procedural airing on Lifetime. Sounds like a 10:30 timeslot filler

    Strike Back also appears to be a 6 part British miniseries that aired in 2010, although that Courier Mail article says they are making a 10-part American adaptation as a ‘spinoff’.

24. MuchoTB September 5, 2011 at 8:53 pm -

    I watched the pilots of Happy Endings and Alphas, both were mediocre IMO. Wouldn’t recommend either

    Of that list Once Upon a Time, Alcatraz and Person of Interest sound like the most interesting to me, along with Sarah Michelle Gellar’s ‘Ringer’ (CW) and Awake (NBC).

    I haven’t heard anything about Strike Back and Against the Wall before, anyone know which network they air on in the US?

25. Benjamin September 5, 2011 at 8:40 pm -

    Even though Ch 9 has only 6 new shows confirmed for ’12, they still have quite a long list of shows – both aussie & overseas, such as “Sherlock s2″ & the “The Joy of Sets” etc, that they still yet to get around to screen.

26. David Knox September 5, 2011 at 8:10 pm -

    Craig there’s a huge Top Story on Playboy Club on the site already?

27. Phoenix September 5, 2011 at 7:59 pm -

    Some of these shows look interesting– Person of Interest, Alcatraz, Terra Nova, Homeland, The River.

    However I’m not getting too excited as, going by the contemptuous ways all the channels move shows around, it’s highly likely they’ll destroy their potential audiences. And if that happens these shows will either be whipped off the air or thrust into some hard-to-find graveland.

    And that’s if the channels even bother showing their new possessions. It’s common practice to buy new shows, advertise that they have them, and then simply never air them.

    Thank goodness for DVD sets!

28. Craig h September 5, 2011 at 7:46 pm -

    Where does the playboy club go? It’s certainly the most talked about of the new seasons offerings?

29. Craig September 5, 2011 at 7:31 pm -

    Looks like Seven has the most to chose from, all thought a few are missing from the lists.

30. Andrew_81 September 5, 2011 at 7:03 pm -

    Who picked up Hello Vodka, It’s me Chelsea?

    Happy Endings is a good show, if you give it a chance. It’s kind of like a new generation of Friends with no laugh track.

31. deedeedragons September 5, 2011 at 6:36 pm -

    Ten looks to be the bridesmaid here.
    Will check out Once Upon A Time, Homeland & Alcatraz (though i can see 9 moving it 6 ways to Sunday) GCB and Revenge could be goodgGuilty pleasures & i want The River to work because it’s so rare we get a show with horror elements (not supernatural, actual horror).

32. reese September 5, 2011 at 6:30 pm -

    Pan Am and Charlies Angels i would have thought would go to Ten.

    And Whitney on 7? If they put 30 Rock at the worst times of the week, this is gonna tank hard and fast.

33. Jerome September 5, 2011 at 6:27 pm -

    Doesn’t look like a professional list, good Christian bitches had a name change to belles months ago and 9 has much more. Unforgettable, 2 broke girls and Prime Suspect for starters.
