Sometimes it's a good thing...apparantly Channel 7 has never had faith in 'Will & Grace' moving it about like a ping pong ball from time slot to time slot...the good news is that they are finally showing the final season over summer- and for those who have not seen it it's one of the best so far...plenty of guest stars and storylines finally wrap up!
However for every gem like 'Will & Grace'...7 always has about 10 crappy sitcoms like 'That's 70's Show' or 'hope & Faith' or they repeat the dead dogs like bloody 'M*A*S*H' ( can you believe it- why not show ' The Lucy Show' or worse still 'Hey Dad!")....Good news is that some of their US drama's shows like 'Boston Legal' will still play (if you watch those of course) and my fav - the NZ version of 'Border Security' - the drama last night was a Spanish pot smoker, an illegal worker in a Brothel and a man importing corn...'thus is madnuss' (quote from the show)... 
Bless Auntie (Channel 2), if you are ready for repeats this is your summer...From those Fountain Lakes hornhags 'Kath & Kim'...to 'Parkinson' ( on a tuesday night!) lots of Documentries on the Royals, environment and the such like...SBS is doing pretty much the same with their popular shows like'South Park', 'Myth Busters' and other non-english shows/documentries - All repeated over the summer/non ratings period so good if you missed them as you were watching something funnier/BB/another reality TV show on the commercial networks...

Channel 9 and 10 are possibly the worse this year... 9's ' The King of Queens' , 'Great Debate' (GROAN), '2 and a half men' ( Does ANYONE what that show) proves that the networks woes are not over ( Eddy - we love '20 to 1' but a network does not manage on 1 show let alone 'Debbie' Hutton yaking away about her knowledge of live's trivial moments....)
10's 'Futurama' - (when will they realize 'The Simpsons' it aint!) 'Charmed' ( it's over people) or 'Veronica Mars' ( yes Jez you are the only person to watch it in OZ) - proves this network survives on the ' The Simpsons' and the reality TV shows genre...even in Summer they will pump out 'American Idol' and 'You think you can dance' a few times a week to appease the Hoi-polloi...Jesus...'Vasili's garden Show' & 'Bent TV' on Channel 31 is looking good...

VM is the heroine of our time...I will not have it said otherwise...and I do know of ONE other person for a fact who watches. I really do encourage more people in their late 30s to enjoy this tale of a 27yr old pretending to be 18yr old (with a supporting cast of 30yr olds)in a teen-themed soap aimed at tweens. What can I say....it speaks to me....J
Well when it's explained like that...who wouldn't want to watch it...and enjoy the drama (and possible confusion!)
