Okay another update. I can confirm we have found the Ch7 Adelaide transmission of Sept 11, 2001 that breaks into an episode of Talking Footy with Nat Barr breaking news. All going well I will have it digitised in a week or so and I’ll put it up on my YT, and then post link here (that link will then need to be moved into the locked Historic Events thread) ---

WTV aired all sorts of weird programming like Disney movies, whether or not they legally aired them is another question - and they went off-air since then. ---

Such an iconic Character. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a reboot, as most Millennial Parents would love to show Humphrey to their kids. I’m assuming the current ownership might be a tad difficult. ---

Given that _Thank God You’re Here_ 2.0 is flavour of the month right now, here’s a look back to a TV Week article from September 2007 around the original: ![thankgodyourehere_0001](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/5/b/8/5b8cabd608aced053029643675330d02162c104a.jpeg) The article here says it aired Tuesday nights at 7.30pm, but in the actual listings it is shown as Wednesday nights (same as now). ---

A bit unrelated, but this program did adapt into Vietnam and broadcasted on VTV3 as “Ơn giời, cậu đây rồi” (this is the Vietnamese translation of the phrase). What makes it honourably mentioned is that despite being more “trashy-ish TV” (especially in its final season), it is argurably one of the longest lasting program of the modern era of Vietnamese television industry, lasting 8 seasons before ending in September last year #myfriends . ---
