The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

ELEVEN have made some significant changes to their nightly programming starting as early as this Saturday February 25 with The Simpsons and Futurama playing on Saturday nights instead of all those Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier episodes, while on weeknights, Craig Ferguson moves back half an hour to an 11pm start instead of 10.30pm.

Here’s the summary:

Saturday Feb 25
7.30 The Simspons 
8.00 The Simpsons
8.30 Futurama
9.00 Futurama
replaces Frasier and Everybody Loves Raymond

Sunday Feb 26
7.30 The Simpsons instead of Futurama
8.00 Futurama remains

Monday Feb 27
10.30 Frasier which moves back
11.00 The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and bumps out Cheers from the schedule

10.40 Frasier
11.10 The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

Saturday Mar 3
Same as Saturday Feb 25.

The later start now for Craig Ferguson on ELEVEN now means his show overlaps with Letterman on Ten on many nights – may cause problems for some of the talk show junkies out there.

Snog, Marry, Avoid – what is this I hear you ask? W-ell: First ep goes like this: Join us as we ‘Make Under’ a fake-tan obsessed Levi from Kent and glamour model wannabe Tamsin. Will these girls return to their old ways? and the second: Tonight two girls and one boy band will experience the magic of a makeover. With corset lover Dominique, pink Barbie obsessed Jules and a boy band called “Girls That Scream”.
