  1. Good news. Am enjoying it and think it still has some legs.

    @Rayne – I hope you’re mistaken. My guide still has it at 11:35 next Tue after some stupid movie.

    +1 re not spending too much effort chasing programs around. Have lost count of how many I have given up on over these last few years.

    Like many, I thought that the digital multichannels would be our saviours in this regard, a haven for programs that couldn’t quite cut it on the main channels. Thought they’d be allowed to play out in a decent timeslot but instead they are bumped for repeats and old or lame movies.

  2. Have to agree with MV…..although there are many series I would like to watch….I have been stung sooo many times…I am loath to even start watching any….
    Missed that many Nurse Jackie ….lost interest…durn shame…
    I have said before…I do not want to have to work that hard…chasing programs around.

  3. @ Rayne, please say it ain’t so!!!! It finished on such a cliff hanger last episode and i have to find out what happens!!

    I hate commercial TV and don’t watch it much purely because this always happens to the shows i like!!

    At least Foxtel plays out the whole season in order! If it is not on in the next two weeks, i will be so angry and vow to never watch anything on commercial TV again!! If you are going to show a series at least commit to finishing it i don’t care if its on 12 midnight i will record it!

    That’s it i give up!
