Hold on a minute, i thought seven had the nbc deal, whats going on, i thought lipstick jungle and bionic woman would go to seven due to the NBC output deal. I do know they have these shows:

* Private Practice
* Dirty, Sexy, Money
* Eli Stone
* Sam I Am
* Carpoolers
* Cavemen

Seven has a deal with Disney and a "half-deal" with NBC Universal.

Anonymous said...

David could you explain how the Seven/Ten deal with NBC Universal actually works, who gets what?

Channel 9 should give Gossip Girl to TEN like they've done with other 'teen' shows.

Anonymous said...

Looks like 9 and 10 making off with all the hits. And as for Gossip Girl 9 will try it out first and if it's a hit keep it of course. Pretty silly to help out a rival network unless ten trades House for it!

David Knox said...

Seven will still get stuff, but maybe not the biggies that DH, Lost, Betty and Greys have been.

According to the deals seven should get the following shows from the US

The guaranteed hit - Private Practice (ABC TV Studio)
Dirty, Sexy, Money (ABC TV Studio)
Eli Stone (ABC TV Studio)
Sam I Am (ABC TV Studio)
Carpoolers (ABC TV Studio)
Cavemen (ABC TV Studio)
Cane (CBS Par TV; ABC Studios)
The Reaper (ABC TV Studio)

Plus because of the NBC deal seven could get these shows even though you have said that Ten have some of them
Life (NBC Universal TV Studio)
Lipstick Jungle (NBC Universal TV Studio)
The Bionic Woman (NBC Universal TV Studio)
The IT Crowd (NBC U TV)
Aliens in America (NBC U TV)
Kath and Kim* (NBC U TV)
*According to the source Kath and Kim will be on in the Summer Schedule in the States

Action News and Back To You are the same show. (Action News was the working title.)

what channel has the show 30 Rock?

Anonymous said...

30 Rock will be on Seven.
Also news in today's Sunday Telegraph in Sydney has confirmed that The Seven Network has picked up Lipstick Jungle and The Bionic Woman. No word on The IT Crowd

what does Gossip girl [on sold to Foxtel] mean?
and is Hidden Palms definitely confirmed for channel nine?

David Knox said...

Just as Nine bought The OC and West Wing which they later re-sold to other networks, so too they have decided Gossip Girl doesn't fit with them.

Hidden Palms died in the US so don't expect Nine to follow through on screening their rights to it.

Anonymous said...

So does that mean to watch Gossip Girl we have to have Foxtel???
I dont have foxtel!
And I was really looking forward to seeing Hidden Palms :( too bad
I heard it did really badly in the US and got cancelled after 8 episodes.
The guy was hot though..

gossip girl (on sold foxtel) i'm pretty sure that it means that if u have foxtel u will be able to watch it problt are 2 weeks after it starts in the us coz my friend has foxtel and she said she has seen commercials of gossip girl staring on fox 8.
But i rekon if channel nine keeps it than it won't last 4 long so they are probly gonna give it to channel ten. it's kinda like one tree hill i mean thats still showing in the US but we only got to watch one season of it and there up to there fifth season. so if it get's canceld her for being put on a shity channel then im gonna be SOOO PISSED coz it loos soo good!!

Anonymous said...

what are the odds of ten (or seven) getting the rights for Gossip Girl once foxtel has screened them, maybe for next year sometime? Now that Nine's passed it on.

Mallie said...

Anonymous - even more pertinent question - now that Gossip Girl's been picked up for a full season, is Nine likely to reclaim it?
