We were on the bandwagon years ago

Young Talent Time
Hey Hey It’s Saturday
Prisoner a.k.a. Wentworth
It’s A Knockout
Spicks And Specks
Big Brother

Problem is that, apart from Wentworth, reboots have never really worked here.

The Young Doctors and Return To Eden were both proposed for reboots in recent years (The Young Doctors reboot was reportedly being considered by both Nine and Ten) but neither got past the initial stage.

I guess I’m referring specifically to drama, not entertainment formats. You can count dozens of quiz shows that have been “rebooted”. But apart from Wentworth (which is successful in most part because of our cultural familiarity with the legacy characters) I’m still surprised we haven’t dug up some old drama classics for a reimagining.

Against The Wind, for example, would make a terrific Netflix series.

Aside from game shows, probably the only revived program that has had success on Australian free to air TV in recent years is The Block.

If you can even count this as a program “revival” there were some Burke’s Backyard seasonal specials on Nine in the late 2000s, although that show definitely won’t be revived in any form ever again for now obvious reasons!

…and yet there are people who still want Ten to revive that show!

Some things should be left alone. I don’t really see the point of a reboot of The Young Doctors. A new hospital drama would do better than a remake using old characters.

If they redid Return To Eden, it should just be the original mini-series and not the regular series that followed which was weaker. I think a reboot of Sons and Daughters could work too but again as a mini-series or short series covering the original main storyline.

Because Ten would do it a 1000 times better than Nine. Big Brother ended up failing on Nine not because of the show itself but how Nine treated it.

They’re destroying any work all that MasterChef promotion may have done, it needs the best possible launch pad.

At least it airs 5 nights a week, also having much of Thursdays to themselves.

Popular House Rules and existing The Voice audience won’t make it easy either.

Week of 6 May has season finals for Hughesy, We Have a Problem and Show Me the Movie!

Is the Wednesday episode a season premiere? :thinking:

Just couple of points:

  1. Seems Graham Norton is moving back to Fridays so probably worth putting in that it is episode 5 so people know its a new episode.
  2. The 2 Hughesy episodes would bring the season to a total of 7 episodes. Rather strange that it is not 8. I wonder if the holding an episode or rather they just did film 7 episodes in season 2.
  3. Bondi Rescue episodes on Tenplay were all season 11 episodes that are available. The new episodes have been from season 13. A report before the season went out was that the season order had been cut from 13 episodes to 10. Unless I am wrong, Ten did air episode 9 and 10 on the 24th April meaning all 10 episodes have aired
  4. Also appears that NCIS Los Angeles is actually a repeat

I think they may be saying the week one Masterchef lead in is being wasted on the usual crap rather than launching anything new.

Have You Been Paying Attention and Shark Tank will benefit. Roseanne is new and should also benefit.
