Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour

Looking at Seven’s advanced TV Guide for the week of September 18-24 and it’s TBA’s for 7.30pm Monday to Thursday.

On Monday September 19, there is a two hour TBA from 7.30pm which will almost certainly be the first X Factor Australia live show where the top contestants perform for our votes.

That will be followed by a Castle repeat at 9.30pm, then Suits at 10.30pm, and the first seaosn finale of Teen Wolf at 11.30pm.

On Tuesday September 20, my guess is 7.30 will be the X Factor result show. Packed to the Rafters is at 8.30, then Dinner Date at 9.30, followed by Hung and Parks and Recreation at 10.30 and 11.10 respectively.

Wednesday September 21, the 7.30 TBA is most likely to be World’s Strictest Parents. Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour airs at 8.30pm, Law & Order: LA at 9.30 and Great Escapes at 10.30.

Thursday September 22 sees a 90 minute TBA from 8.30 – 10.00pm. This will almost certainly be the 90 minute premiere of Beauty and the Geek Australia season 3.

Back an hour – the 7.30 TBA on Thursday September 22 could well be NEW How I Met Your Mother as it premieres in the US Sept 19. If Seven fast track Mother, that will give them a fast track point, in line with Nine (Two and a Half Men) and Ten (Glee) for the week.

Law & Order: LA also airs from 10pm that night.

To Friday night, and it is the last Friday night AFL for the year, the week before the Grand Final (which will air on Ten this year). Most likley to be aired live in AFL markets. In Sydney, live if the Swans make it that far.

As soon as we have defnite confirmation of the TBA’s, we will advise!

French Food Safari, SBS ONE, 7.30pm

In the final episode, Maeve and Guillaume are taken on a tour of one of the top Parisienne kitchens with three-Michelin-starred chef Guy Savoy, who cooks up some of his signature dishes. Then it’s a visit to one of Paris’s most famous wood-fired bread makers, Poilane, whose oven has been creating great sourdough for decades. Finally, there is breakfast in the markets of Lyon with legendary chef Paul Bocuse, who shares his thoughts on the future of French food.

Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour, Seven, 8.30pm

More of a reminder to fans that now it is on Thursday night as well. Tonight, the red cell team travels to Arizona to decipher the message a suspect is sending following two brutal murders.

Pawn Stars, 7mate 8.30pm

Moved to 7mate, after not doing the business on Seven. The authenticity of a Civil War saber is questioned when brought inside the shop for sale. Also arriving is a Fender guitar signed by Chuck Berry, and a National Register dated back to 1916.

The Big C and Weeds, GEM, from 10.40pm

If you missed them a few nights a go, GEM are replaying the two new episodes of The Big C and Weeds tonight.

The Big C: Season 2 opens with Cathy seeking a second opinion about her cancer, which doesn’t sit well with Dr. Todd. Meanwhile, Sean discovers that his sister is battling cancer while he’s dealing with the growing pains of living with a pregnant Rebecca; and Adam is less-than-happy about seeing a therapist.

Weeds: Season 7 opens three years after pot-dealing Nancy Botwin has done a stint in federal prison and has been paroled to New York City. She is placed on probation in a halfway house, but fully looking for an opportunity to fire up her canni-business and reunite with the men in her life.

The Defenders, ONE, 9.30pm.

And for fans of The Defenders, after the show was dumped from Ten’s line up, it now airs on ONE on Thursday nights. Nevada Vs Wayne: Nick decides to defend a personal friend charged with sexual assault. Meanwhile, Pete is stunned and a little bit upset when he is selected for jury duty.

Stargate Universe, ELEVEN, 8.30pm

When Camille and Sgt. Greer use the communications stones to return to Earth, they arrive to learn there is a high state of alert in anticipation of an attack from the Lucian Alliance.

RBT, GO!, 8.00pm

For some reason, RBT has ended up on GO! Was on Nine – look at all the shows on tonight that have gone to digital channels after airing on main channels! Tonight’s count, three – one for Seven with Pawn Stars, Nine for RBT and Ten for The Defenders with these three shows airing on 7mate, GO! and ONE respectively. Talk about musical chairs in programming!

A double helping of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour this week, with Seven airing another episode tomorrow night (Thursday August 18) at 8.30pm instead of Pawn Stars which moves to 7mate.

Last week, Pawn Stars barely managed 500,000 in ratings. The show was originally planned to air on 7mate in any case, where it is more suited.

As a result, tonight’s programming has Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour at 8.30pm, Covert Affairs from 9.30 – 11.30, with Detroit 1-8-7 from 11.30pm.

Tomorrow night, Suspect Behaviour is at 8.30pm, with double Law & Order from 9.30pm and Off the Map from 11.30pm.

No word on subsequent weeks yet.

Seven have made a number of changes to their line up for next week.

The TBA on Monday August 22 at 7.30pm is a double episode of Border Security. Late night Monday sees a double How I Met Your Mother from 10.30pm, with Teen Wolf starting at 11.30pm.

Packed to the Rafters will return to Seven August 23, at 8.30pm, not August 30^th as predicted. As a result, the season finale of Winners & Losers will air after Packed to the Rafters at 9.30pm. Dinner Date will not be seen that night.

Seven will also be replaying the six episodes that aired earlier this year, with three on Monday August 22 at midday, and the next three on Tuesday also at midday.

Onto Wednesday, and World’s Strictest Parents airs over a 90 minute special, finishing at 9pm. Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour and Covert Affairs move back half an hour to compensate. Covert Affairs is supposedly a double episode, but only goes for 90 minutes, while Detroit 1-8-7 at 11.30pm is half an hour only.

The week commencing August 28 is filled with TBA’s at 7.30pm Monday through to Thursday, suggesting that The X Factor will premiere at 7.30pm Monday August 29 with a 90 minute episode.

Dinner Date Australia returns on Tuesday night August 30, after Packed to the Rafters, while Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior will be a double episode on Wednesday August 31.

Seven will confirm timelsots for The X Factor probably as the date draws closer.

Seven have also started airing promos for Wild Boys, which suggests that show is set to air soon as well. As it is already known that Wild Boys will air on Sunday night, could Wild Boys premiere on Sunday September 4?
