Unforgettable

With the third Cricket Test being held in WA, Nine’s coverage eats into prime time for most of the country resulting in several split market variations on Nine for the week. This is the first week of summer as well.

Sydney and Melbourne (AEDT time zone):

Sunday Dec 2

6.30pm – Third Test – Australia v South Africa
8.30pm – 60 Minutes
9.30pm – The Mentalist

UPDATE  - 
After the Season One Finale on Nine last night comes the news that Carrie Wells will live to remember another day.

CBS has officially resurrected, the previously canned Unforgettable for a 13-episode second run, to air in the US next summer. Thank God for the fans who were left with as many answers resolved as looming after last nights cliff hanger. Continue reading »

Carrie Wells just may live to remember another day. CBS is in talks to pluck the Poppy Montgomery-fronted Unforgettable from the cancellation ashes, for a 13-episode Season 2.

Unforgettable, which Nine will soon air the final episode after a great episode last night, was quite successful in the US yet was not  renewed by CBS for the 2012-13 TV season. I can only pray and hope that this is the case. Love this show and our own Poppy!

This week sees the penultimate episode of The Voice leading up to its Grand Finale on June 18, the second Rugby League State of Origin match and the premiere of Hamish and Andy’s Euro Gap year on Thursday night. Continue reading »

To Sunday April 29. The Voice moves out of Sunday night, and The Block moves into the 6.30pm timeslot. 60 Minutes returns at 7.40pm, then it is new The Mentalist at 8.40pm and Unforgettable 9.40 (not another timeslot change). New Harry’s Law then follows at 10.35pm.

Monday April 30 has The Block at 7pm for just half an hour, with The Voice following at 7.30pm – Let the Battles Begin. 9.30pm is TBA, but possibly Big Bang repeats. Continue reading »

On Sunday April 22, The Voice will air for two hours (or more likely more) for the fourth Blind Audition episode. It will be followed by Beaconsfield at 8.30pm-ish (if recording, best beef up your PVR overrun – The Voice has a bad habit of going overtime). 60 Minutes is out for the week.

Monday April 23 sees The Block continue at 7 O’Block, followed by The Voice at 8pm. At 9.30 we get two Big Bang repeats (Syd/Bris/Adel/Per), followed by the season finale (and most likely last ever episode) of Alcatraz at 10.30pm. Alcatraz airs at 9.30pm in Melbourne. Continue reading »

The second week of Easter non-ratings on Nine is basically a carbon copy of the first week with the schedule filled with loads of Big Bang Theory repeats, as well as repeats of just about everything else Nine usually air. Just about the only new show on for the week is Unforgettable, 9.30pm Wednesday.

On Sunday April 8, 6.30pm is To Be Advised. 7.30 is 60 Minutes as usual, followed by a Mentalist repeat at 8.30 and Person of Interest at 9.30pm.

Monday April 9 has three episodes of The Big Bang Theory in a row from 7.00pm – all three are repeats. At 8.30pm is a double episode of Alcatraz (yes – a double).

Tuesday April 10 is the same as April 3, with two Big Bang repeats from 7pm, two repeat episodes of 2 Broke Girls from 8pm, a Two and a Half Men repeat at 9pm, then Top Gear at 9.30 – also a repeat.

On Wednesday April 11, three Big Bang repeats run from 7pm, then another Mentalist repeat at 8.30pm, and new Unforgettable at 9.30pm (S01E14 – Carrie’s Caller).

No changes to Thursday, with repeat RBT at 7.30pm, CSI at 8.30pm (S12E08 – Crime after Crime) and The Footy Shows airing from 9.30pm.

Correct at March 31, subject to change.
