emmasi Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I don't really think they care about ratings. They're running Futurama in the 7pm timeslot against H&A, an obscure sci-fi cartoon series which channel 7 finished airing about 2 years ago. They've got Joker Poker on every other night, which I think are mostly repeats as well. They're rerunning old episodes of Australia's Brainiest, and of course there's the Simpsons and Seinfeld. Neighbours is one of the very few new shows that channel 10 actually have, and it adds to the Australian-made quota. It's been going for 20 years, it's allowed to have a few off seasons (which I don't think this is, but anyway). I don't think channel 10 are all that anxious to axe it in favour of Everybody Loves Raymond repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neighboursrox! Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Channel Ten will not axe neighbours. #1- Its part of Australian history and everyone has watched it some time in their lives(well almost everyone) #2-Its very very popular in the UK. Channel ten know that. #3-It is allowed to have a few ''slow'' years. Yet this year alot of changes will be made so the show will improve abit. #4- It easily wins its time slot everynight #5- The ratings arent bad ALL the time! Just a little while ago, i saw it just under h&a! #6-It is the BEST soap ever! It was even named Australias #1 soap, and by #1 i dont mean #1 in ratings i mean #1 in the soap itself. The show is old, yet very much alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Like you said, IT WAS. It's not now. And I said above that Ten wont axe it because of the UK. Who cares if it's a part of Australian history. Sons & Daughters, A Country Practice, Blue Heelers...? Do they ring a bell? And Number One in its timeslot? Are we talkin about the same Neighbours here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmasi Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I thought tonight's Australian episode was great. Any show which includes a man singing to chickens, and another man playing with a kitten is alright by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I think that Libby looks like a white Cathy Freeman, but that's a whole other story. EDIT: Just so you know I'm not crazy: OMG you're right! That is really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
