That new Parks and Rec episode could have aired at 8pm, instead of a How i Met Your Mother rerun.

Didn’t Nine put The Sopranos in a late timeslot?

Yes they did. They should have aired it around 9:30 or 10pm.

All in the Family should have aired at 7:30 or 8:30, instead of 10pm and the 9:30 news should have been a bit later, around 10 or 10:30

Way too early unless they would butcher it in editing, But I guess its not out of the question given what they do to movies on FTA.

I know. I’m just doing a little schedule criticism.

Probably important to remember that TV was a different beast in those times. If a show was critically acclaimed but a ratings dud, there was no way in hell it was going to be put earlier.

I see Seven were airing the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers at 10:30 at night. Originally a Nine program in 2002. PG rated Cleveland Show at 8:30 on Ten also.

Over at Channel 9, they didn’t broadcast the Nine Morning News, instead they broadcasted Movies. However, they still showed the Afternoon News. Not to mention that The Christmas Orange aired in its 4pm timeslot. Carols by Candlelight aired at 7PM on WIN, while Nine aired at 8:30PM. I believed that this was Ray Martin’s final year as Carols by Candlelight host.
Channel 7 showed double episodes of King of the Hill from 2pm, while a new episode of Go Go Stop aired on Christmas Eve. Very interesting to see different daylight schedule between Seven and GWN.
Over on Channel 10, They didn’t air Early News instead they broadcasted the Christmas Light. I even noticed that The Simpsons aired at 3;30PM on TEN! THe Bold and the Beautiful didn’t air at 4:30pm and was replaced by It’s Me or the Dog.

It seems GWN decided to air Carols in the Domain again, while Seven did not.

Simpsons also aired at the normal 6PM timeslot.

I miss King of the Hill being a school holiday staple that it was from 2005-2007
