Aussie TV?

[Reply #280 on:]

Hmmm...Strange.

In my TV guide it says:

9:30 Will & Grace
10:30 Will & Grace
10:50 Something Stupid (Thats the actual name of the show)
11:50 News

But I checked YourTV and it said:

9:30 Crossing Jordan
11:00 News
11:30 To Be Advised

It seems C7 has really screwed up here...

*Does a TOTP dance*

Oh my I hope you are right because if there is any show I love more than "Futurama" it is "Something Stupid". This was the comedy series containing Magda Szubanski, Marg Downey, Jane Turner and Gina Riley that preceeded "Kath & Kim" but came after "Big Girls Blouse". This show is the best comedy Australia has ever produced. And it also contains the serial "Kim's Baby" which is the follow up to "Kim's Wedding" for all the people who love "Kath & Kim" they can see where it all began for long term fans like me.

"Look at Moii, Look at Moii"

i beg to differ.
if you have ever seen the d-generations 'the late show' i think you would disagree. iv'e got the dvd and its 6 hours of laughter.

you have gotta see 'the late show'

[Reply #288 on:]

Is that the one with john safran? sorry if im way off.

[Reply #289 on:]

So, does anyone know when they're putting Futurama back on an if they will play Season 4?

[Reply #290 on:]

They gotta play Season3 first

[Reply #291 on:]

It's pretty damn annoying if you havent seen all Season 3 before, then Channel 7 takes it off air..again and again .. and again

[Reply #292 on:]

Does anyone know if they are ever going to put it back on?

[Reply #293 on:]

Well I just checked YourTV and for next Thursday it said:

9:30 Will & Grace
10:00 Will & Grace
10:50 Something Stupid

Damn C7!

[Reply #294 on:]

Does anyone know when channels 7's rights to Futurama expire.

If it is any time soon then we should all contact channel 10 and ask them to pick up the rights. It would be sooo cool if Futurama was on channel 10.

[Reply #295 on:]

probably cant happen, since channel 7 bought the rights to begin with, they probably have first "dibs" on the rights, therefore they would have to give it to channel 10...

not going to happen

[Reply #296 on:]

What about Everybody Loves Raymond. Once channel 7 has it and they only showed it during the summer when their Home and Away was not on but then channel 10 got it and not it is one of the best shows on TV (the current season is a bit boring). How do you explain that?

[Reply #297 on:]

Thats so true Carbito. I never thought of it that way. I remeber when Raymond was on seven to begin with and I didn't know anyone that watched but i used to sit there every night...now that its on ten it has huge promotion and is on like 20 times a week and everyone watches it. I don't think even if C7 gave Futurama to Ten would they take it. I mean, it's not a viable program...to pick it up after it has been cancelled. Now, I know they show Seinfeld every summer ad nauseum but Futurama never had a real following in Australia.

yeah you are. the late show was a sketch
show on the ABC in 92 and 93  done by Tom Gleisner, Rob Sitch, Jane Kennedy, Santo Cilaro, Mick Molloy, Tony Martin,Jason Stevens and Judith Lucy. most of those guys now do the panel.
The one your thinking of is John Safran's Music jamboree on SBS.

[Reply #299 on:]

That show was rather good ..

[Reply #300 on:]

No there was an earlier show with john safran in the mid to late 90's. It was on channel 7. i agree music jambaree was very good.

[Reply #301 on:]

Good News Everyone! Futurama is back on Wednesdays!!!

10.30pm - 11pm | Seven

Futurama
Birdbot of Ice-Catraz

Leela fights to save the lives of penguins after the Planet Express ship is involved in an oil spill on Pluto.

Although there's only one episode, at least it's back on! It's also followed by King Of The Hill.

[Reply #302 on:]

strange. my tv guide says Angel is on 10:30 to 11:30. either its a misprint (which i doubt) or mojo is incorrect. but i hope you are right.

[Reply #303 on:]

Sweet

[Reply #304 on:]

*Checks TV guide* .. No sign of Futurama .. but, hopefully, your right 

[Reply #305 on:]

Ive seen all of these episodes on fox.....fox usually gets things after network tv

[Reply #306 on:]

Strange...That's what it says on YourTV.com.au

It could be wrong, but hopefully it's right. What was on last Wednesday at 10:30?

[Reply #307 on:]

On the plus side, they are playing it "during" the ratings period now, sure its not prime time, but its on!

As I was saying about the Futurama rights, I was referring to a similar thing that happened with south park. SBS held the rights to it from day 1, but when it became popular the second time SBS aired it's first season, channel 10 tried to pick it up.

Because of its past dealing with SBS- Comedy Central gave preference to it, over channel 10. It cost SBS big time (x million $) but they were able to retain it due to the preference.

I am saying the same thing happens here, fox gives 7 is the preference because they held it previously, it would probably cost channel 10 a lot more than it is worth (especially now that it hasnt been renewed) to gain the rights to it?

Q & A ne1?

[Reply #308 on:]

At this point in my life I'm just happy Futurama's being shown in Australia AT ALL!

This really is great news, everyone!

[Reply #309 on:]

sorry to spoil the party but im realy doubting that futurama is going to be on on wednesday night. ive checked my tv guide and the internet one and there is no sign of futurama.
but i still, like everyone, hope its on. i hope im wrong.

[Reply #310 on:]

Well it says its on here:

[Reply #311 on:]

well if thats true then they're not showing it in perth those bastards at channel 7.

[Reply #312 on:]

Well, it's going to be on in Sydney, I know that much. It was in the 'late TV changes' section of the Sunday Telegraph. 10:30, followed by King of the Hill.

[Reply #313 on:]

Yeah, it's not in the Perth TV guides. I will put a tape in and record that timesolt anyway!

[Reply #314 on:]

Wait!
According to http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/tv/  Futurama is on Wednesday...even in Perth!

Yep, it says Futurama is on in QLD, although checking the TV Guide it claims "The Chronicle: News from the edge" is going to be shown. Weird..

[Reply #316 on:]

All the TV guides in newspapers seem to be very in accurate, you would think they would put a bit of effort in to get thing right when they go to print.

[Reply #317 on:]

I found this on Ninemsn Free to Air TVGuide. It might not be correct, but here ya go..
 http://tvguide.ninemsn.com.au/guide/26022003_78.asp?channel=free&day=26/2/2003

EDIT: This is for the Gold Coast area. But in the local TV Guide, it does not show this.. make of it what you will.

[Reply #318 on:]

We now have 3 sources saying Futurama is on.
Yay! It's a shame though that they are showing 1 episode.

10:00PM King of the Hill...is that it's premier on Australian TV?

[Reply #319 on:]

I remember seeing King of the Hill, long time ago on Channel 10.
Don't really like it.
