    Do you think Big Brother will be 1/2 an hour each night or 1 hour each night?

  • Andrew B

    I’d say most likely one hour Mon-Thur, half hour week that was on Friday. Up late on GO! – who knows!

  • Tim

    I think on Monday and Tuesday, since it’s the first nights, Big Brother will be until 8:30pm and on Monday after Big Brother is Underbelly: Badness. After Big Brother on Tuesday is Anger Management (I wonder if Anger Management is half an hour or one hour).
    It is REALLY HARD to pick out a time for Dallas and House Husbands because the only times for them are like at 9:00 (or 9:30) Tuesday, after Anger Management, 9:00 Wednesday or 9:30 Sunday. Maybe House Husbands 9:00 (or 9:30) Tuesday and Dallas 9:00 Wednesday or 9:30 Sunday. I don’t know?
    I think Big Brother is not on Friday, because on GO!, The Big Bang Theory is Monday-Thursday and there is NRL on Friday for NRL markets. Nine could increase viewers on Sunday at 6:30 with Big Brother, because Everybody Dance Now is at 7:30 on TEN.

      Tim, Big Brother is an hour on Tuesday as far as I’m aware. Big Brother airs for half an hour on Friday. :)
