TGYH NBC

A couple of sites in the US are reporting that, due to poor ratings, NBC isn’t renewing the US version of Thank God You’re Here.

Everything I’d read until this morning had been positive about the viewer figures – quite the interesting turnaround.

Jericho goes, 24 powers ahead

Looks like Jericho is doomed, rumours circulating it won’t be back next season.

Meanwhile 24 has been greenlit for another two season. This should take them through until 2123 in 24 time.

The RSS Feeds Have Changed

Recent changes to parts of the blog that you don’t usually see (people in the know might call it the back-end) have meant that our RSS feeds have changed.

You can now find the blog feed at http://boxcutters.net/blog/index.php/feed/.

The comments feed is at http://boxcutters.net/blog/index.php/comments/feed/.

Sorry for the confusion.

Boxcutters Episode 85

In this very special episode of Boxcutters that no parent should miss:

  • Tom Elliot discusses the Nine vs WIN Malachi Crunch
  • Yahoo 7 Lost is mentioned repeatedly for reasons known only to ourselves
  • We discuss the upcoming telemovie The King
  • A quick look at October Rd
  • A new segment looking at this Golden Age of Television
  • More on Yahoo 7 and Lost
  • Pork and News and Ratings and such.

Yahoo 7:

Lost: send us email

Would you believe TWO perfect seasons?

Despite Josh’s understandable reservations, NBC has confirmed Friday Night Lights will be back for a second season.

Hopefully it is good news. FNL is a great show (Not to be confused with local Big Brother spin off Friday Night LIVE which isn’t).

Feud goes

Channel 9 has finally lost patience with Family Feud.

I guess after 18 months of claiming it was ‘building’ when there was no real change in the ratings Nine had to do something. Like the whole Rowe departure you just have to wonder why it has taken this long.

Just the Pork, Ma’am

Our server issue may have left you with episode 84 running to only 1 hour 5 minutes. The full show goes to 1:10:48.

iTunes seems to be a mite recalcitrant about re-downloading podcast shows – there’s no way I can figure out to make it get the full show again – so, for iTunes users, the news, once again, isn’t good.

Boxcutters Episode 84

Huge show. Logies wrap, I Don’t Buy Propaganda, Raywatch, Crap TV all top and tailed with News and Pork.

She who must not be named

She who must not be named, officially boned.

Nine finally ended its tortured relationship with the high-profile star with a terse three-sentence statement.

Nine announced that Rowe, currently on maternity leave, “would not be returning to the Network and that Nine and Jessica had reached an agreement that would allow Jessica to take up other opportunities for her career”.
