So following Nine’s decision to cut the running time of the poorly performing Australia’s Perfect Couple in half, comes the equally predictable decision to add yet another episode of Two And A Half Men to the schedule, which now reads like this:
- Monday: 7pm Two And A Half Men; 7.30pm Two And A Half Men
- Tuesday: 7pm Two And A Half Men; 8.30pm Two And A Half Men; 9pm Two And A Half Men
- Wednesday: 7pm Two And A Half Men; 7.30pm Two And A Half Men
- Thursday: 7pm Two And A Half Men
- Friday: Two And A Half Men
Which does raise a couple of questions. First, when the editors of 60 Minutes discovered they’d inadvertently forgotten to have a back up item when the injunction came in on Sunday night, why on earth didn’t they think of throwing Two And A Half Men onto the air?
And second, surely it’s time for some weekend episodes? Nine a week just isn’t enough. The campaign starts here.
