Bumped: Better Homes and Gardens
BH&G is set to start earlier on Fridays due to AFL commitments.

From next week Better Homes and Gardens makes a permanent move to a new timeslot of 7pm Fridays on Seven.
This is to accommodate AFL commitments on Friday nights. Last year the show moved to Thursdays in some markets, creating a bit of havoc for scheduling and fair ratings comparisons.
The show will remain at 90 minutes with Home and Away to air a triple episode at 7pm Thursday March 21.
This week however, Better Homes and Gardens will air at 8:45pm Thursday in Melbourne due to the NAB Cup airing at 7:30pm Friday.
Bones is 10:15pm in Melbourne as a result.

Won’t have to worry about it because I’ll be watching all my footy on fox footy this year
Just checked yahoo tv guide and the first episode is listed as episode 13 the twist in the plot which is a new episode. So even with the delay at this stage it is still a new episode.
Its a shame with so many shows being a blend of new episodes and repeats that you have to double check whether you are watching new episodes or rerun.
@tvf I noted that its double new episodes of Bones on the 21, my epg is showing 8×14 and 15.
I’m assuming it’s so the 7 Network can maximise their audience for its main channel at all times.
It does seem silly to split a show in half but I’m assuming its merely Vic/SA/Tas and maybe WA anyway.
They paid a lot of money for live AFL coverage, it outrates Bh&G and H&A in the markets affected, so whats the problem? BH&G is a Friday night show personally. And the double ep on Thurs might actually grow H&A’s audience (Fri night may rate lower?)
I understand their logic, it just seems different!
