None of the regionals took 60 Minutes at the time. It wasn’t until 1981 on AMV4 and 1982 on BCV8/BTV6/GMV6 when they took the show. In religion class on Mondays at the Catholic high school I went to they had discussion on what was on 60 Minutes the previous night.

I noticed that Bert’s Family Feud had a one-hour episode. I wonder if that special episode was due to the Melbourne 2006 Games?

A very heavy sport schedule on Nine/WIN thanks to the Melbourne 2006 Games. I noticed that Garry Lyon and James Brayshaw (who would be the future Footy Show hosts) doing morning session, while Mark Nicholas did the afternoon session. During the Melbourne 2006 Games, Nine and FOX used different commentators for other sports.

Hosting team was probably thrown into disarray when Eddie got the gig as the CEO which in the end meant he couldn’t host what would have been the prime time session.

Before The Project there was Alan Jones Live. At least they axed the show when the ratings dropped, unlike The Project.

Over on the guide, Channel 9 Perth had two news bulletins (due to extensive time difference. Nine News at 3 PM was a Melbourne-produced bulletin (I believe), hosted by Peter Hitchener. I even noticed that A Current Affair was shown live at 3:30pm.

I’m guessing Nine stopped Games coverage entirely at 6pm AEDST so Perth had nothing else to show (except maybe a comedy re-run or something like that).
Can’t recall if BNE/ADL were also forced to show news from 5/5.30pm for a similar reason

They axed Alan Jones Live and replaced it with repeats of Are You Being Served?

That description for the 7:30pm episode of The Simpsons is kind of wrong, While Marge does get breast implants in that episode she doesn’t get them willingly. She originally goes to get liposuction but they accidentally give her breast implants instead.
