TVNZ Programme Launch 2008
The TVNZ 2008 Programme Launch was a successful event which spanned across the country from Auckland, Wellington and then on to Christchurch.
The Show Reel revealed some fantastic returning and big new shows on TV ONE and TV2. So 2008 promises to be a BIG and very exciting year!
TVNZ would like to thank everyone who attended and made it a great event.

to nanisnap; most of the short lived shows that TV2 screen, would have not been cancelled in america when the network purchased them.

Wow - a lot of good shows returning so early in the year!
nanisnap
Two problems with that list:
Why do they keep buying SHORT LIVED shows? If the shows have already been cancelled in the US, why bother showing them? Boo TVNZ.
The other thing: Why does TVNZ hate Entourage so much. They have sh@t on the face of that show consistently. It's a brilliant show but many NZers have not had the chance to watch it because they put it in stupid time slots.
ARGH!

Wow...big call to take on CSI on Sundays - just like in the States.
And a movie on Tuesday night? No doubt to provide soft competition to Dancing with the Stars.
