Yeah but why make it harder for it to rate for a show that most people aren’t interested in.
Schedule update
Wednesday 7 November
07:30 pm The Bachelorette Australia
08:45 pm Playing For Keeps S1 Ep08 Season Final
09:45 pm Blind Date encore
10:45 pm Madam Secretary S5 Ep04
Also, during The Bachelorette tonight I saw a promo which said the revival of Murphy Brown would premiere on 10 on Monday, November 26. Is it taking over the post-8.30pm timeslot after Have You Been Paying Attention finishes for the year?
Interesting that Murphy Brown is coming to Monday’s, I would’ve thought The Connors would’ve been better.
Maybe 10 plan on launching that as a family show at 7:30 post Bachelorette on Wed or Thur.
Also, I didn’t like it originally but I really like 10’s new female voiceover and suits their new look.
She seems to be a bit too casual though. It’s like she doesn’t really care about that she saying. The delivery needs to sound like it has purpose.
It’s about not using TV speak anymore… being more genuine.

It’ll tank no matter what day they schedule it because the humour revolves around attacking the Trump administration and the writers constantly bash the viewer over the head with liberal propaganda. I seem to recall the original show having a broader outlook. The latest instalment on the midterm elections was the unfunniest, most cringeworthy episode of a sitcom I’ve seen since Small Wonder. Even the acting is questionable. I have no idea why Ten is bothering with this.

Maybe we’ll get used to it after a while but so far it feels like her voice gets lost in what else is happening on screen. You can’t tell if what she is saying is the voice over or part of the show.
I’ve seen Jamie Cooks Italy at Woolworths and some bookshops, I always wonder when the TV show will be shown on 10. It is a 8-part series which aired on Channel 4 in Britain in mid August to early October.
But why is the show called Jamie and the Nonnas in Australia? 
If the name change comes from distributor Fremantle then it is a dumb idea.
Looking forward to it then.

This is just a guess but Murphy Brown will tank for the main reason it is not very good.
I did watch Murphy in its hey day and thought it was good. I have watched all episodes that have aired in America thus far and it is pretty tragic.
I really do not think it would rate in any time slot on any network.
Madam Secretary to 1030 was obvious. It was not even getting 200k
The show nobody asked to come back.

The new graphic packages for each promo are just brilliant. Loving them.

As a big fan of the original series, this is one thing that greatly concerns me. Writing and storylines that are overly left wing (biased) and I guess with Hillary’s appearance in the promo sorta confirmed it for me. Does not sound promising at all…
Put Murphy Brown on 10 All Access rather than free to air?
I agree with the comments about Murphy Brown. It is so anti-Trump and over the top political I can’t watch it. Hollywood elites need to realise people aren’t watching comedies to have political commentary rammed down their throats.

Don’t think they will get the message until the global market stops picking up the rights and broadcasting them. Only when the money dries up would they wonder why.
The US ratings for Will and Grace (a COMEDY which last week had the lead character divulging she was sexually abused as a teen by a family friend and that her father did not believe her #MeToo) and Murphy Brown are not that good.
