That was just me asking - no idea how many :slight_smile:

Oh I see. Maybe change it to “other chairs” before a troll at newscorp turns into a vicious rumour. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I don’t think Nine has any idea yet anyway.

Still waiting for the TV event of this centrury to be announced by Nine - they usually have one each year :neutral_face:

Wait a second. Food Fight isn’t the the event of the century? :stuck_out_tongue:

##INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMING

###NEW

PLANET EARTH II

A decade ago, Planet Earth redefined natural history filmmaking, giving us the ultimate portrait of life on Earth. In one of the most ambitious landmark series, Planet Earth II allows us to experience the world from the viewpoint of the animals themselves. Presented by Sir David Attenborough, Planet Earth II was the most watched natural history programme in the UK for more than 15 years.

LETHAL WEAPON

Lethal Weapon reboots the classic hit movie franchise following classic cop duo Riggs and Murtaugh working a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles.

CHICAGO JUSTICE AND CHICAGO MEDICAL

Chicago Justice is a captivating legal procedural following a committed team of prosecutors and investigators tackling high-profile cases.

Chicago Medical takes us on an emotional thrill ride through the day-to-day chaos of the city’s most explosive hospital and the courageous team of doctors, nurses and staff who hold it together.

###RETURNING

THE BIG BANG THEORY

The Big Bang Theory continues to be the hottest international comedy on Australian television and Nine brings viewers all NEW episodes in 2017.

BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT

Britain’s Got Talent is back in 2017 with more exhilarating performances from contestants who promise to entertain, inspire and capture the hearts of viewers from around the world.

IMO, 60 Minutes and Today Extra should’ve been axed!

Upfronts

Not much there that we didn’t already know. I think it’s a wise move to bring back a crime series -Chopper has potential to be a ratings winner. I think that Nine, arguably, has the best slate of dramas in 2017 of the commercial networks. (Ten clearly has the worst).

No mention of The Verdict (thankfully).

I was just about to ask about this. Any chance of it still airing this year :stuck_out_tongue:

Have to say I am not a nine fan but they have the best upfronts of all networks this year
Family food fight sounds interesting and underbelly chopper will be a hit…this will pull them well clear of ten and give a serious challenge to seven who didn’t present anything to be excited about!!!

Interesting they have the Chicago series of procedurals. Chicago Fire airs on fox 8.

Universal sells these shows so no longer having the output deal with seven. Must sell shows on a show by show basis.

Liking underbelly returning. Everything else seems very derivative and boring.

After all these upfronts… not much to watch on free to air these days.

Bad decisions:

[quote=“TV.Cynic, post:55, topic:1959”]
Nine’s Sonia Kruger will return as host of The Voice in 2017
[/quote] Wouldn’t surprise me, if they re-employed her to avoid bad PR. Probably going to announce a co-host.

[quote=“TV.Cynic, post:65, topic:1959”]
Leading 20 to One’s latest assault on pop culture are new hosts Erin Molan and Dave Thornton.
[/quote] Who? This is going to be worse than this season’s.

[quote=“TV.Cynic, post:65, topic:1959”]
Millionaire Hot Seat returns with Eddie McGuire at the helm for its ninth year in 2017.
[/quote] Hopefully they revitalise the format, extend the show or do something. Hot Seat had a shocking year.

:frowning2: Today Extra was the worst performing out of the Today brand this year. New host, new format, new show please Nine.
