Nine: Farmer takes Top Design's timeslot, Farmer and Underbelly encores on GEM, and $#*! My Dad Says back

Nine rearranges Wednesday nights.

Prior to its premiere on Monday, Nine were promoting that The Farmer Wants a Wife would continue Wednesdays, yet Wednesdays still featured Top Design in the schedule at 7.30 with RPA at 8.30.

Now, The Farmer Wants a Wife will air at 7.30pm Wednesdays, which will be its regular timeslot from now on. At 8.30 a repeat of The Mentalist (odd choice), followed by RPA at 9.30 then Top Design at 10.30pm. Meanwhile on GEM, the same episode of Top Design airs at 8.30pm, while The Closer and Rizolli & Isles revert back to their usual times of 9.30 and 10.30 respectively.

Nine’s encore Night – GEM Friday night.

Both the Monday night and Wednesday night episodes of The Farmer Wants a Wife will air on GEM this Friday August 26, from 7pm. Then, at 9.30pm is an encore of Underbelly: Razor (presumably in HD) for the benefit of those who did not catch it first time round or want to see it again. The Farmer Wants a wife is also encored on Nine on the weekend – check local guides.

$#*! My Programming Is?

According to a promo tonight on Nine, next Tuesday (August 30) at 8pm is a new episode of $#*! My Dad Says. My question is why? If it didn’t rate before, what makes them think it will rate now?

Other changes…

There was a The Block Unlocked scheduled for 6.30pm, Sunday August 28, now that is out, in favour for two episodes of RBT from 6.30 – 7.30pm. Monday August 29 at 8pm is TBA, while Big Bangs remain at 7.30pm Monday and Tuesday, as well as Thursday at 7.30 and 8.00pm. That’s on top of weeknights at 7pm, and a few episodes on GO!
