The only logical way to program against the Block finale is to rerun a movie.

c21 reports Seven has bought the rights to American true crime series Criminal Confessions (11x60’ and 1x120’), produced for cable channel Oxygen by Law & Order creator Dick Wolf. Seven bought the show at MIPCOM from ITV Studios Global Entertainment which has picked up global rights. I think this will be shown post-9.30pm on Sundays or Wednesdays.

Kitty is Not a Cat
MIP JUNIOR Cannes – BES Animation, one of Australia’s leading animation studios specialising in original content for local and international audiences, and Jetpack Distribution, global distributor of children’s content, has inked several new platform deals for its animated children’s show Kitty is Not a Cat in Italy, Central & Eastern Europe, Africa, Middle East and Turkey, and in Australia with co-investment partner, the Seven Network.
Created by Bruce Kane and Maurice Argiro for BES Animation, Kitty is Not a Cat is a comedy with a great big heart and a tiny pretend tail! Aimed at 6-10 year olds, Kitty is Not a Cat is an animated series about a little girl ‘Kitty’ who has a big imagination and a whole lot of courage. She is at the age where a child feels they can be anything they want, even a cat. Kitty arrives on the doorstep of a house full of partying felines. These carefree creatures suddenly find their lives turned upside down as they attempt to teach her how to be a human when Kitty actually prefers living the life of a cat.
BES Animation, along with Seven Network, green-lit Kitty is Not a Cat last year and will deliver the completed 52 x 12 minute episodes in mid 2018. The show will initially launch on the Seven Network in Australia, DeAgostini Editore in Italy, Disney in the CEE territories, South Africa, Middle East and Turkey. The show will also be available in 26 x 30 minute episodes.

I enjoy these 6-8 episode long ITV or BBC crime dramas because they don’t require a huge time commitment and the storyline is usually wrapped up nicely in the allocated episodes. The ending of Liar is ambiguous. Some aspects of the story are tied up nicely by the end of the series but I wasn’t expecting this to end on a big cliffhanger. The writers have announced they’re working on a series two but it is unlikely to air until 2019. The drama does deserve the good reviews it has received but I found the ending disappointing.

I suppose it won’t pull any less viewers than the usual later movie.
So why not, they can add it to the episode’s total (along with all the other metrics), to make the figure look impressive

“Pitch Perfect 2” (2015) rated very well on 9Go! the other week.
When Pitch Perfect 2 was shown on Nine’s main channel on 9 August it didn’t make the top 20.

While I’m completely grateful that they’re finally screening these episodes we’ve been waiting nearly a year to see, I find it frustrating that they’re now showing double episodes, twice a week on (Thursday and Sunday) and burning through the season.
Why did we have to wait all year and got repeats of previous seasons and now have the new episodes crammed into a few weeks? To top that off they also started showing a a second repeat of an old season on Saturday nights last week. Why do that?
Why can’t they get their act together and scheduling this better?

I Agree, If Greys Anatomy and How to get away with Muder return to Seven, they gotta likewise.
But Still S4 E9 has’nt been played yet which is the Globetrotters episode.
Any possible reason why?
Was it shown out of order in America?
Anyone noticed that Seven don’t acknowledge a ‘network premiere’ movie on their advanced program guides?
(e.g.) a number of movies this weekend are officially listed as “Repeat”, when they haven’t even aired on the network before, but are listed as so I guess because they’ve aired on other networks.
However online guides such as eBroadcast seem to have different info/know, as they do have those “Rpt” movies (even though they’re not) as “premiere”.
This is in contrast to Ten, who do acknowledge when a movie is airing on its network for the first time (regardless if its aired on another network before or not).
Odd.

No it wasn’t.
Rather pointless, I think. A world premiere or (Australian) television premiere is of note. A movie appearing on 7flix for the first time after numerous repeats on Nine and Ten channels is not noteworthy, all that matters is that it’s on
