The music choice was pretty dull
maybe stick someone’s head out of the “a”
This still seems like the most appropriate place for this:

2nd half of 2018 showreel for Ten
Nothing that really stands out at all.
Give them a break. They’re investing in new local content, a scripted drama and more of the good stuff that has worked for them. What else can they do in the short term?

I think there is some decent stuff in the back half lineup - the problem though is keeping up with the cadence created by Masterchef… with only 6 weeks left of MC including this week you’d think the adverts would have to start ramping up for the likes of Aus Survivor, Bachelor and the supporting programs around those tentpoles… shows like Playing for Keeps (has it been filmed?), All Aussie Adventures?, Blind Date these are the shows I’d expect to see take over from the gap MC leaves.

Yeah I thought Survivor started straight after Masterchef so surprised we aren’t seeing promos for it and Bachelor. Maybe this week.
Only just started filming.
Survivor should start in August.
Shame… it really should have launched off the back of MC… now it’ll be left to falter at the tail end of the year with no lead-in… unlikely to air before October if it is only just starting to film.
It’s female skewing so suggest they’ll try what they did with Wrong Girl and Sisters (launch it after Bachelorette or Bachelor). This failed.

Yep… but The Bachelor will launch on the back of Masterchef so would make sense to prep it for a Wednesday 830 slot or try something new and slot it into Tuesday 830 following something like Blind Date.
I’m assuming Sun/Mon will be Survivor and Wed/Thur Bachelor so that leaves Tuesday as a night to try all new content.
Nah I think Game of Games will be Sunday 7:30 and Survivor 7:30 Monday/Tuesday.

Ten’s schedule only ever revolves around 1 or 2 shows at a time. They have no depth. Holes everywhere. They need even more content that they’ve commissioning of late.
I feel like we’re on the cusp of some more announcements about a few more new commissions now that they’ve had some time to work on a strategy for a summer without BBL.
But based on what we already know, this is what is still to come for the rest of the year:
3 x returning realities: Survivor, Bachelor & Bachelorette
1 x returning light entertainment: Gogglebox
1 x new light entertainment: Blind Date
2 x new game shows: Pointless & Game of Games
2 x new comedies: Street Smart & All Aussie Adventures
3 x new dramas: Playing for Keeps, How to Stay Married & 600 Bottles of Wine
1 x new observational documentary: Secret life of 4 year olds
So out of approx 13 new shows that we know of, only 4 are returning. You could look at it 2 ways, that’s a shitload of new content or they had such a weak schedule last year and not much of that is returning which can only be a good thing IMO.
On top of that there’s a whole week of pilots coming up as well as a few rumoured shows like Sports Tonight, Saturday Night Takeaway and DWTS if that rumour is to be believed.
I would say that they’re looking pretty good at this stage (sure, more local programming & news content would be nice) but having a schedule lacking depth is not mutually exclusive to Ten, 7 & 9 are very guilty of this also to date in 2018.
