Here comes the fast-tracking, right on cue in October.
Nine fast-tracks new Big Bang, Two Broke Girls and Two and a Half Men on Tuesday October 2nd.
Episodes moves to 10pm but with a second episode at 10:40pm. Two more play the following week.
This could be to make way for Survivor (to be confirmed).
A reminder that viewers in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth get Person of Interest from next Monday, with a double ep.

How would Channel 9 have done better screening Episodes on Go! ?
Episodes rates 400k on Nine what would it have rated on Go!, Probably 200k. And what would they have screened on Channel 9 on Tuesday? More repeats of 2 Broke Girls? And how many people would watch Episodes on Go! instead of Anger Management if they went up against each other?
It would suit fans for Channel 9 to give Episodes a better slot once a week on Go! (where they did show the first season it without being cut).
But it wouldn’t suit Channel 9. Which is why they did it this way. To them Episodes is just what they have to fill slots until BBT and others return in October.
@victweety , yes they did show the last few eps of last seasons 2.5 men season. Alan’s son joined the army was the main thing I remember from them.
It’s debatable whether Episodes is just a “UK show.” Just sayin’ is all…
Two Broke Girls is the only one out of the lot I don’t mind watching.I’ll pass on the others.
Don’t know about you but I have this fascination with cupcakes since that show began.
Nine really don’t know how to treat UK shows do they?
They’ve royally stuffed up Episodes, where they could have had a ratings winner.
By lumping 2 episodes together, or 3 in one hit as they did with the last few of series 1, they overkilled it for me. The show is funny in a 30 minute burst, less so when (with ads) you’re spending nearly 2 hours in the company of Matt LeBlanc and co.
I don’t think it’s been on at the same time from one week to the next. They’d have been better off scheduling single episodes on Go, at the same time, same day, every week.
looking foward to 2 broke girls one of the best new shows in a long time
two and a half men is rubbish without charlie sheen i gave up watching but still watch rpts with charlie sheen
@Wally – Anger Management only has 10 eps in the first season, the final airs this week but it has been renewed in the US.
@James – thanks, I don’t watch BB, never have, never will!
@Craig.
RE: Jon Cryer promos. I saw one tonight during Big Brother
So Anger Management is out?
I was enjoying that show.
Ok, these shows are returning.. fair enough. so how about Weeds and The Big C then?!
@victweety – I assume they have but really I’ve all but given up on 2.5 Men.
Have they aired the last few episodes of 2 and half men from last season. I don’t remember seeing them.
Oct 2, not too bad.
So how long before Nine start with the ‘Two and a Half Men’ Jon Cryer – Emmy Winner promotions?
Will Nine show Mike & Molly any love as it returns in less the 24 hours in the US.
About Time.Currently Eleven Aside Nothing that isn’t girlie fluff exists on Tuesday Nights anymore.
That’s a pretty good turn around for the comedies. 2BG returns tonight in the US, and the other two on Thursday night.
