I remembered watching a repeat of The Mole on Channel 7 during the Xmas HOlidays of 2006-07. I assume that they screened the ones from 2000.
I noticed that Channel 7 screened unaired episodes of The Master over the non-ratings period.
By December, the final season of Laguna Beach had already finished airing on MTV. The following August, they tried to do it again with a new show called Newport Harbour, but that was cancelled after 12 episodes.
