Lol Johnson, you crack me up. Of course it wasn’t announced at upfronts when it’s a program designed on how people are interacting and coping with Corona Virus.

I’m not really surprised about the program itself, but I do find it exceedingly bizarre that Ray Martin is hosting it…
This looks like a covid version of Life Support

I’m curious, when the ABC sends through their forward schedules do they not include whether a show is a repeat or not? I’ve never seen it mentioned I believe, but notice it in the other networks threads respectively.
Call the Midwife?
Yes, repeats are marked. The notation is on a different line to the title and time of the program so it’s inconvenient to import onto the forum. (Same for SBS)

Interesting, thanks for the info.
I had no idea At Home Alone Together was a comedy. From the promos they are running, I actually thought it was a real lifestyle show. The ABC need to do a better job selling this.
