[Reply #640 on:]

I posted it above it doesnt help me, but here it is- personal email address of 7 melbourne's programming director-

neil_coulston@hsvpo.ccmail.compuserve.com

edit: no I posted it over the page

[Reply #641 on:]

sorry i must have missed it.
is it alrite if i mention this site so the director can come and see how many Australian Fans there are?

[Reply #642 on:]

I cant see a reason not to, although compared to the number of people who tune into channel 7, we dont ammount to many.

[Reply #643 on:]

i just hope it may make a difference if enough of us voice our opinions... <quote>although compared to the number of people who tune into channel 7, we dont ammount to many."</quote>
All too true though. How bout an 11:00 or 11:30 timeslot to at least get us up to date!

I'd like to find a Brisbane email... I've got a Brisbane phone number, but would feel too awkward calling it

[Reply #645 on:]

yeah i feel a bit awkward sending the email. ill think of what to say in a day or two. i may get some of my friends names on it too and send it on behalf of all Aussie Futurama Fans.

I think I'll write a letter to the Green Guide tomorrow... remind other Melbournions about the show, as everyones forgotted. now all my friends love Futurama and have bought the DVD because i re-introduced them to the show, which they had not seen for a years. People want to see it. People like it. But they have forgotten about it

[Reply #646 on:]

Grim If you cant be botherd, then i will find out the address tomorrow. And alex, i reckon itd be a bad idea to direct them to this site. They probably wouldnt even bother to check it out. They wouldnt have time to search through 17 pages of a thread, regarding a show they dont think enough of to air regularly, Or perhaps even not at all.

[Reply #647 on:]

yeah i see. im writing my letter to the greenguide at the moment.

[Reply #648 on:]

What the hell IS greenguide anyway?

[Reply #649 on:]

the Greenguide is the TV magazine/guide that comes with the Age in Melbourne on Thursdays

[Reply #650 on:]

Hows that letter coming Alex?

[Reply #651 on:]

i dont know... ive been busy with school work but it IS coming maybe sometime

[Reply #652 on:]

DAmn work on da letter, not some map which wont even BE TO SCALE 

[Reply #653 on:]

Lousy no Futurama, just isnt Wednesday without it..

[Reply #654 on:]

There's still enterprise, but now there's nothing to watch before enterprise...

Maybe I could put the DVDs on and pretend that its airing... nah Im not that easily fooled.

Ah well will have Season3 DVD Import in June, so I dont need channel 7 (Not that I havent seen every played episode to date, still I dont need them Futurama was the only program i religiously watch on them anyway)

or monday... or thursday...

[Reply #656 on:]

They should put Futurama on instead of that bad drivers show on monday!

[Reply #657 on:]

U'd be suprised how well a world's blankiest drivers show rates.

[Reply #658 on:]

finally what you've been waiting for...
Green Guide Letter - 1st Draft

Channel 7! Have you lost your mind? Where is Futurama!? You are treating it the same way as FOX are in the United States,  putting it on at dodgy hours and without any advertising. When the first season came out on DVD it was sold out all over Melbourne.  There are many Futurama fans all over Melbourne, and there would be more if it was given a decent time and some advertising. It is twice the show The Simpsons is, with better plots and characters, and the stories are much more intellectual and are not the constant jokes to the point where it isn't funny that The Simpsons has become.. Channel 7, there are a few episodes remaining of season 3 you have yet to show, all the season 4 episodes and season 5 is currently being shown in the United States. You have not had even a first re-run of season 1 or 2. Please put Futurama back on air. People want to see it, more people than you think. There are many Futurama fans out there, but they have forgotten about the show after the three year absence from a decent timeslot. 
From a faithful Futurama fan, Alex.

I think u need to say something about its recent run

[Reply #660 on:]

wat should i say?

[Reply #661 on:]

Something like...

"the recent return to our screens was recieved well by the fans all over Australia, but was cut short mid season."

or something

[Reply #662 on:]

This really sucks...I hate getting avideo ready to tape and pushing record when the C& promo comes on and I get so angry!!
Grrrrr!
Thats alll I have to say...Grrrr!
Especially when they have it TV Week last week, this week and next week as well!
Jerk Faces!
They have the face of a Jerk!

[Reply #663 on:]

Well the next 2 weeks are non rating weeks so maybe C7 will throw us a bone and screen 2 episodes seeing as how they love showing Futurama during non rating periods.

[Reply #664 on:]

Well its not on next Wednesday...

8.30pm - 10.30pm | Seven
The Jury
2 Hour Series Debut

10.30pm - 11.30pm | Seven
Boomtown

 

[Reply #665 on:]

What the hell is the jury? REmember the good ole days, when seven had it as part of the comedy night, you could watch all of sevens best shows in 3 hours  WHy didnt they show it tonight instead of that Absolutley shitty price of fame atrocity. Im ashamed t admit i wached it, but it was really because i was stupified that a show like this is even allowed by the geneva convention. Would a show like that really pull better ratings than futurama? I had a letter to the Seven people all planned out in my head, but my sister wouldnt get off the computer. If only theyd put it on at 4 in the morning even, then i could tape it.
Anyway grim, im calling up 7 tomorrow and getting an address to send complaints to, And guess what? I saw some futurama merchandise at Comics ETC today   

[Reply #666 on:]

Awesome! Im going there today anyway to get futurama Comic #12 ... have to have a look

[Reply #667 on:]

^ Hehe

[Reply #668 on:]

Oh no... exposed my secret! Now everyone knows Im satan!

Oh well just try to look suprised when u see me at the gates of hell 

[Reply #669 on:]

That's a pretty Grim number!

LOL! Get it? Grim? Hahaha! 

[Reply #670 on:]

LOL Foolishness, OOOPS wait im supposed to be calling seven arent I? Ill do it now.
Hey Anyway grim, how did you get that guys personal e-mail? Was it listed on the site or what?

[Reply #671 on:]

Soz for the double post. HEy grim i just called seven on 3369 7777 and they saidn futurama is coming back in about 2-3 weeks.

[Reply #672 on:]

Hopefully it will be the Wednesday after the double episode of The Jury (In Sydney/Brisbane). Then it will be something along the like of:

8:30 - The Jury
9:30 - Boomtown
10:30 - Futurama
11:00 - King Of The Hill

[Reply #673 on:]

Still WTH is the jury?>

[Reply #674 on:]

Staight from the horses (7's) email

Thank you for your email.

 

We hope to return Futurama to our program schedule in the near future.  At this stage, it is likely to return on Thursday nights in early May.

 

Regards,

 

Janine

Seven Perth

Woohoo!

[Reply #675 on:]

Great, i wonder why they took it off in the first place?ANd grim i wouldnt bother checking out the futurama merchandise, its just a bendy glow in the dark Kiff, and some cardboard pictures.


In other news, is the return actually listed in the guide? Or coult they just be trying to placate us?

[Reply #676 on:]

I have a completely unrelated question to futurama. Does anyone listen to the basement, its an internet radio station

[Reply #677 on:]

May...thats not really that long.
It might come back on around the time when the season 2 DVD comes out.

[Reply #678 on:]
