Offsrping

The final week of ratings on Ten sees the network put the final Glee for the year on a different night and another Hamish and Andy special on the Sunday night.

On Sunday November 21, new Modern Family continues at 7pm. At 7.30, is the premiere of the Hamish and Andy Special called Hamish and Andy’s Reministmas – a Christmas special. See below for more. Offspring finishes the year with a two hour season finale at 8.30pm. Offspring has been renewed for a second season, which will air late 2011.

On Monday November 22, at 7.30pm will be the last episode of Glee we will see for 2010 – called The Substitue, guest starring Gwenyth Paltrow. After a week off, due to a break in the US, Glee makes the move to Monday night for just one week, and lands against the Grand Finale of Seven’s The X Factor. Another four episodes of Glee are scheduled to air in the US in 2010, we won’t see them until 2011.

At 8.30, Monday November 22, is the final of Undercover Boss Australia which focusses on Ritchie’s Stores Pty Ltd, followed by the last Good News Week for 2010.

At 7.30 on Tuesday November 23, Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation has its final for the year, which is a Christmas special. To me – Nov 23 is too early for Christmas specials on TV, but I guess they have to show it before ratings finishes for the year. NCIS follows at 8.30pm, which will be the last new episode we see until 2011 (UPDATED: Confirmed last new NCIS for 2010).

The Wednesday line up for November 24 includes new Modern Family at 7.30pm, Raising Hope episode two at 8pm, The Good Wife at 8.30pm, and House at 9.30pm. All are new episodes.

On Thursday night, November 25, Bondi Vet at 7.30 is a repeat. Keeping Up With the Joneses continues with a new episode at 8pm, while Rush is a two hour episode at 8.30pm.

Then on Friday November 26, new Simpsons remains at 7.30pm with two new episodes from the latest season – season 22 – in an hour of all new Simpsons. At 7.30, it’s the 21st annual Tree House of Horrors, followed by “Lisa, This Isn’t Your Life” at 8pm.

More details on Hamish and Andy Remistmas:

Hamish and Andy have stumbled across a brand new holiday – Reministmas, the perfect mix of reminiscing and Christmas, and to celebrate they are going to revisit some of their favourite adventures from 2010. But with no room at the TEN Inn they have been forced to present their Reministmas special from a humble stable.

This year saw Hamish and Andy compete in the Bi-Bi-Tri-Bi-athlon (24 sports in one weekend), experience deafness and blindness for 50 hours, take on the world of competitive eating with the Hungry Hungry Heroes, visit the mystic isles of Great Britain and Ireland on their Caravan of Courage, learn everything they could about India and bring the nation’s favourite Stallone, Frank, to Australia to perform a sold out gig.

Find out how the boys fared in 2010, and if the horses let them into the stable, when they celebrate Hamish and Andy’s Reministmas Special.

Ten programming gets a bit of a shake up in the second last week of the 2010 ratings survey with the Junior Masterchef finale over two hours on Monday November 15, Glee off for a week due to pre-emptions in the US, and Bondi Vet concluding that week as well.

All new Simpsons continues with the latest season – season 22 on Friday nights, while Raising Hope premieres on Wednesday night of that week. There is also a bonus episode of Modern Family on the Wednesday night – being the Halloween special for 2010 – a few weeks late is better than not being on until 2011!

It’s back to business as usual at Channel Ten, after the Commonwealth Games with some new shows retuning for new seasons.

Here’s the run down.

Season 2 of Modern Family will premiere at 7pm Sunday October 17, following a repeat at 6.30pm. The new season is amongst the highest ratings shows in the US at the moment.

The top 12 kids are back after school holidays to battle it out to see who will become Australia’s first Junior Masterchef ever. Junior Masterchef returns to Sundays at 7.30pm, from Sunday October 17, 2010.

Junior Masterchef expands to 3 nights a week, with another edition on Monday nights at 7.30 and a Masterclass on Friday nights at 7.30pm.

At 8.30 on Sunday Oct 17, Offspring continues after a one week break. Offspring is followed by the season 7 premiere of Medium at 9.30.

At 8.30 Monday Oct 18 is the premiere of Undercover Boss Australia. Good News Week follows at 9.30pm for a shorter one hour show.

Tuesday 7.30, Oct 19, and its time for Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation.

Then – finally – new NCIS is here! Sort of fast tracked from the US, and rating through the roof over there, new NCIS is back to its traditional Tuesday night timeslot to rate through the roof here. Should be an interesting battle now between Ten and Seven for the night. New NCIS is followed by NCIS:LA repeats – not sure why they wouldn’t show new episodes of that one either, seeing they are paired together in the US.

Wednesday 7.30 Oct 20 – and – those suffering Glee withdrawals, your wait is over! New Glee is back, after two weeks off (and even on Fox8 Glee had two weeks of for its run of season 1) with the 3^rd episode of season 2.

In a very interesting move, The Good Wife is coming back for its second season at 8.30pm Wednesdays from October 20. House moves back to 9.30pm.

The Thursday night line up, from October 21, is made up of new episodes of Bondi Vet, with new Keeping Up with the Joneses at 8pm and Rush at 8.30pm for a double. Burn Notice will return Thursday October 28, at 9.30pm

The double Rush could be to make up for lost time during the Commonwealth Games.

Friday nights, from Oct 22, after Junior Masterchef Masterclass remain with NCIS repeats at 8.30pm, Law and Order SVU at 9.30 and Go Girls at 10.30.

Including the week referred to above here, there are only six weeks left of the ratings season. NCIS, The Good Wife, Glee and House will all break for the summer non ratings period, while Rush, Offspring and Junior Masterchef should all have their season finales in the last week of November.
