Seen have been clearing the cupboards the last few months, finishing off series that were pulled, completing seasons of shows in inventory.

In fact, unless I am mistaken, Pawn Stars is the only series across 7two / 7mate / 7flix that has been pulled before end of its season and not played out as yet. Everything else is played out. There are some complete seasons of shows still to return though later.

There’s been promos for first runs airing recently. Or did one already air, bombed and pulled already?

I still often watch the re-runs at sort of 6:30/7pm, been in such slots for a long time now on/off, so those ones must still do well, loyal fan base.

I don’t see first runs in yet.

Show does well - just the first run episodes (season 23) were pulled earlier in the year after episode 28 and has yet to return.
