TEN has revealed a new look “Super Sunday” to begin from October 14.
The line-up includes the anticipated Season Two premiere of Homeland, plus new episodes of Modern Family, Merlin and the premiere of The New Normal and Vegas.
It’s certainly a strong line-up that will help lift the network’s ailing figures. Other returning shows enter TEN’s schedule from next week including Underground: The Julian Assange Story on October 7th.
October signals a month where viewers are about to be swamped for choice. October 14th is also the premiere of ABC1′s first Jack Irish telemovie starring Guy Pearce.
6:30pm – Merlin
Season 5 Premiere Merlin is fantasy family drama at its very best. This darker fifth season promises viewers a thrilling combination of action, magic and adventure as we return to the mythical world of Camelot.
7:30pm – Modern Family
Season 4 Premiere Walking away with five more awards at the 2012 Emmys, Modern Family continues to dominate comedy TV, firmly establishing itself as a modern-day classic.
8:00pm – The New Normal
Series Premiere From the creators of Glee and American Horror Story comes a comedy that takes a look at what is normal. From single dads, double mums, sperm donors, egg donors and one-night stand donors… it’s 2012 and anything goes!
8:30pm – Homeland
Series 2 Premiere Winner of six 2012 Emmy Awards, including the best drama and best actor and actress in a drama series, this psychological thriller returns for an explosive second season.
9:30pm – Vegas
Series Premiere Set in Las Vegas in the 1960s and starring Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis, Vegas is inspired by the true story of former Las Vegas sheriff Ralph Lamb.
How is Homeland starting two weeks behind the US? It won six Emmy Awards and Ten plonks it to start on October 14… we need double episodes to catch up to the US, but it looks like its not going to happen!
I’ve been really impressed with Foxtel showing Dexter within hours of its US broadcast! Same goes with ABC for putting Doctor Who on iview immediately after the UK airing (although I would have preferred them to show it on ABC1 on Sunday nights instead of 6 days behind) Ten made a decent effort to bring Merlin within a week of the UK airing so I’m pleased enough with that. I’m still on Series 4 anyway so I will be recording the episodes until I catch up so the week delay doesn’t bother me.
Well Ten’s new shows start from 2mrw with new girl. Will be interesting to see how they do for the week.
So does this new sunday line-up mean the F1 & Moto GP will be moved back to One HD ?
Some of the upcoming F1 & Moto GP races will be in earlier times due to them being run in this part of the world but I think some go past 6.30pm
No.
So do we know when “Glee” comes back, I have heard it starts Tuesday week at 7 30 replacing IWS which they are moving to late night. True?
I can’t trust channel 10 anymore when they say new episodes of modern family. They’ll show a new one one week and an old one the next. I can still remember the old days when channels indicated on the TV screen when a program was a repeat. You had an “R” symbol in TV week when a program was a repeat. The only way I know if a program is a repeat now is through the 9msn TV guide.
I’ve been super critical of Ten in recent months – but hats off to them for the Super Sunday line up.
Let’s hope they stop the constant use of repeats of NCIS and MF to ensure the fast tracked ones are extra fresh and exciting.
And good to see fast tracking of L&O:SVU.
Any chance they could really make my day by fast tracking The Good Wife and Glee too?
Great lineup.
Yes – good idea – “Homeland” should be promoted as “Less ads, more show” for the premiere
great lineup, looking forward to Vegas and Homeland. Ten are trying to fix what’s left of the year after the mess it had been so far.
stop complaining people! Get a life, 2 weeks may be not right after airing in the US but its better than waiting till February or over Summer!
Extremely excited for Homeland – although it would have aired about 2 weeks after america, so a bit bummed about that. Will the rest of the week’s line up be announced at Programming Launch/Up fronts? I’d really like to know when The Good Wife comes back, considering it’s premiering on the same day as Homeland …?
I love Homeland. Not sure if I can wait 2 weeks, will possibly find the show elsewhere. Like the look of the other shows as well, Vegas looks good, and the new Normal looks good as well. Well with the fast track it’s a head in the right direction. Well done Ten.
As much as I hate double eps I hope TEN shows ep1&2 of the new season the first week back to catch up. Just a pity they don’t fast track it to there online service like ABC is doing with Doctor Who, which like Homeland is on Sunday both here and in it’s original country, UK/US. Ditto for NCIS, it would be nice if it wasn’t 6.5 days after the US.
It’s a good line-up.Well done Ten for making an effort.I’m just wondering whether the line-up will stay like this or if the shows get moved around after a couple of weeks.
@ The_ Flash, Ten wanted to leave Homeland in it’s original 8:30pm Sunday timeslot and because they have Underground: The Julian Assange story airing on Sunday October 7 at 8:30pm, the 14th was the earliest they could have shown Homeland.
How much of a fast track of homeland is 10 doing ? Premiers in the US on the 30th of September, so 2 weeks, probably not going to deter people doing their own “fast track of the show” then. Congrats to 10 for showing it this year, but could of done it a little faster, maybe 5 days or a week even.
Let’s wait and see just how successful this Sunday lineup is – and how long it lasts.
Yes! Can’t wait for the new season of Merlin
Promising but I think we’re all waiting to see how many times Modern Family gets shoved around and then repeated to death.
Looks Alright but we assuming I get a Sunday Night off work watch Border Security,Airways and Double Mrs Brown’s Boys on 7 so none of this line up interests me and we start of with old Everybody Loves Raymond reruns on 11
Merlin on same time as big brother?
Oh well, guess ill have to do the catchup with merlin until big brother finishes.
That’s a much better sunday!!
Modern Family and Homeland for me.
This is a good start on the long road back to credibility, however it is only a start. Ch10 have a recent history of stuffing things up so we will see. Starting on time would be great…..any chance?
Also what are they gonna do with the F1 Japan GP on the 7th & the Korean GP on the 14th?
Modern family started a couple of nights ago and homeland on Monday Australian time and both are available in HD. Its over 2 weeks later and only in SD. Not good enough 10.
sorry but that’s not fast enough for me ten
I’ve heard good things about The New Normal so it will be interesting to see how it goes.
Good to see TEN dumping repeats of The Simpsons. That was really scraping the bottom of the barrel expecting viewers on Sunday night to swallow it as part of a so-called comedy lineup.
Hopefully TEN has learned its lesson and there will be no more Shire, Bingle, Priscilla, Simpsons or any of the other poisonous stodge which has so trashed TEN’s image.
Because the same programmers are still in place using the same discredited “market research” which claims that young people who get pocket money or work at Maccas are somehow “a lucrative demo with high disposable income” I’m not so sure this lineup represents a new era for TEN.
i really like the new normal , but i cant see it rating in any way and soon being removed
This is great. I can’t wait for Homeland and soon enough after the US that I can avoid spoilers hopefully.
Jack Irish on iView for me but looking forward to that as well.
Looks like 10 might be pulling its head out of its bum for the end of year run. Good work;.
So no more “Graham Norton Express”? Bugger.
Sundays from 7.30 till 9.30 (at least), this household will be “tuned to TEN”. – well, PVR set, I should say. Good one.
And, guys, if you want to use “Tune to TEN” as a catch cry, please feel free…
Great – Homeland on the same night as the Jack Irish movie on the ABC. Jack Irish wins for me, love Peter Temple’s books. (I wonder why the ABC promos never mention him, he’s hugely popular).
I can’t get into Merlin, he’s such an awful looking person, gives me the creeps.
This is an absolutely cracking line up. I’d watch Ten all night with this. See Ten this is exactly what you needed. Quality shows all night and hopefully this gets the ratings it deserves. My only wish is that these shows now actually start on time, otherwise i’ll be forced to go elsewhere.
I should also point out there’s only six or seven weeks from October 14th until the non ratings period…knowing Ten they’ll hold over episodes for a month and return them after the New Year
I know it sounds crazy but maybe Ten can promote Homeland as “no commercials” at least for the premiere?!
It might bring viewers back to the network knowing they can get completely wrapped up in the programme without interruption from ads.
Homeland season 2 looks awesome and should outrate Killing Time
Vegas in the states did well in total viewers but horrible in the demo…not surprising when you see they only have one cast member under 40 years of age
Terrific line-up! Will be watching all of these shows.
