Australian Viewers: Stargate Atlantis

[darkwarden]

As far as I know, Channel 7 is going to be showing the Olympics pretty much 24/7 for the two weeks they are on... Congratulations to Channel 9 and 10 as they will be getting my viewership... As a wog, I will try and avoid the Greek train wreck known as the Athens 2004 Olympics.

The shame, the shame of it all!

I know I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it. Hahahahahaha.

With all the discussion about the Olympic schedule and all, I might give channel 7 a call tomorrow and see it I can find out how long and how much they will be showing, they normally say they only plan two weeks in advance *couch* even if this is true they would be planning more than two weeks in advance for an event as large as the Olympics, one would hope.......

The only thing of Sydney's olympics I watched was the opening and closing ceremony so I doubt I'll watch anything of the Athens one, I never watch nine, so I guess ten will be getting my viewership. It's sort of screwed up that Seven across Australia are up to different episodes in different states.

[darkwarden]

Yeah I hate how it is all chopped up in the different states, they should at least start it earlier in all the states who are behind the current forerunner so that we are all in line again. It appears that logical ideas do not occurr to TV networks.

[D.C.]

TV1 is slowly catching up though, I doubt they'll be able to catch up to the extent of showing first run episodes.

darkwarden: Did you end up phoning seven?

[darkwarden]

Yeah I phoned them but they said that they weren't sure what was happening, also there has been nothing relating to Stargate recently, so I'm not sure what is going to happen.

[D.C.]

****ing stupid Seven. I hear there prime time line-up isn't rating very well, maybe they should try putting some decent shows back on like Stargate and move there already decent shows to a better timeslot. (Alias and 24)

[darkwarden]

Yeah, actually a little while ago seven replaced all their programming staff with women, I think this is why we have this girl power friday thing and also that GirlTV show in the afternoons, I watched it yesterday to find out what it is meant to be about (I had a vague idea) but they had a segment that was about 'finding the right bra for you' all me need now is 'how to pick up guys in a bar' or 'how to tell if a man is gay'.

We need some concerned parent to ring up and say that his son now wants to get a bra or something, we need someone to make a complaint and then they might realise that society is not completely run by women for women.

I dont know. the last time I looked, the poll of who watches stargate the 30 - 39 year old women were coming out on top.

i dont happen to be in that age bracket, but im definately female.

perhaps you guys have to realise you're a little outnumbered??

[darkwarden]

Outnumbered? I think not.

All you women just watch it for RDA

The problem is that the programming staff at Seven are appealling to the 14 - 25 year old females, you know, the ones still interested in reality TV.

[D.C.]

A Channel Seven programmer who was fired came to my tutorial earlier this year, and it was pretty funny.

or at least one of the reasons i first started watching....

but now, i stay for the science!

What was funny about it?

Yeah, what science would that be? Whats the ratio of Jacks mysterious side compared to his overall attractiveness?

I knew your secret from the beginning, it was the same as my mums.

[D.C.]

The programmer was bitter about being fired, and he told lots of funny stories about the networks and the people who run the networks.

[darkwarden]

Sounds great D.C. I wish I could have been there, I would have asked him all sorts of things, I don't suppose he told you why he was fired? I'm interested now as to why they would fire someone.
