Absolute shocker from TV3. Completely devastated the highlight of my tv week. I have to wake up at 5:30am except for mondays and this new timeslot has prevented me from watching Underbelly on TV3 ever again. Yip boxset is going to be shipped in along with a refusal to watch any tv3 bollocks, e.g. tv one news from now on...
it's funny because just last night i was thinking how locked into tv3's sunday lineup I was (bar csi) - no more....i'll just download the simpsons and forget about earl as it isn't that much chop on it's on...
TV3 you've twisted a sense of gratitude and appreciation into feelings of spite and hatred with your latest action regarding Underbelly....

For myself I'm glad underbelly has moved. There's too much on that I want to watch (well usually record) on Sunday nights. There's usually stuff on TV One. I still have a problem with recording both Bleak House & L Word around the same time.
It seems to me most of the stuff I want to watch theses days is on late, and I need to get up early for work. There are several nights when there's little on that interests me in primetime.
Just me
Dont worry they are a complete pack of dorkers, its lucky you can find anything you like watching on free to air TV.
TV2 just got rid of "3rd Rock From The Sun" the only American comedy that is funny on free to air TV.

TV3,
I can't understand how you have deemed it fit to move a brilliantly acted and entertaining show like Underbelly to a ridiculous time slot on a Tuesday night. All the while replacing it with formula derived drivel from America.
I mean isn't it you who are always crapping on about how you want to maintain a high standard of broadcasting. And then here you are replacing a well acted show which is closer to home and more relevant than the shows America churns out for the masses.
All i can say is that this is one viewer who has lost faith in TV3's judgment and believes you lot to be a bunch of ****wits.
TV3.... Never again! im waiting for the dvd
TV3,
The action you have taking in regards to the hit tv show 'Underbelly' has been a joke. You aired it, then axed it, then relised you've stuffed up and anouced its going to be back on again, and just as I sit to watch what I beleave to be one of the better shows on television, Im highly frustrated to find its off again. The Tuesday night 23:15 time slot is a load of bulldust. And to replace it with law and order??
The partys involved in these decisions at TV3 need to be aware that I for one am not interested in american rubbish that is Criminal Intent.
It is just one mans opinion, but I think that you are a pack of DIM-WITTED KNOB JOCKIES...!!!
Never again is my tv going to screen tv3 programs.
The dvd, is going to be availible to order from Australia, whilst you morons play around with differnt time slots.
NOT HAPPY.....
ex tv3 viewer
its amazing to think that we sit here watching all these different crime shows and as soon as one with a factual base is screened and is intriguing and compelling as underbelly is it gets moved for more of the same old crap. its pathetic! good on ya tv3 ya done it again!

What the hell's going on with TV 3...not only do you chop a quality drama that is Underbelly to a late night spot on Tuesday night , but according to other posts this is a regular occurance for under preforming programmes on this channel.
Underbelly was an enlightening change from the usual predictable American crap ie CSI,NYPD blue,Criminal Intent etc.I guess I'll just have to buy the DVD.At least I wont have to put up with 15 minute add breaks!!!
BOO HISS TV3

NOT impressed. I have been waiting 4 ever for NYPD Blue to come back and they pull it with the FINAL 7 episodes to go.

Fair enough. They gave it a chance. I was getting bored of it.
reece_555, I'd imagine L&O:CI would be a solid rater, without being spectacular. but I have no figures to back that up.
I'd expect Numbers to return to that 9:30 slot, on the back of a couple of week promotion.
reece_555
Does Criminal Intent actually rate ???? because this show has been taken off 2-3 times in the last 8 months without actually finishing its full season.
JPS
Episode 9 entitled Untethered is the second to last episode for season 7 prior to the writers strike so i assume it's only a fill in until they decide what to replace Underbelly with
samofthewest
Bring Underbelly back! I have finally gotten into it and now TV3 does this! Maybe they should they put programmes on in the first place!
EchoViper
oh, come on, why can't they put Numb3rs on like they were gonna the first time they were pulling underbelly. nice to see something other than sci-fi shows in the dreaded 11:15 tuesday night slot though.

This is such an incredible series with a great storyline, great acting and great location shots. Combine this with Freeview Hi-Definition and it has brought me back to TV3.
I am hooked. For once I am happy and content in the knowledge that I can sit down and watch some great TV in the manner in which it should be shown.
And now these IDIOTS move it to such a late time line? THIS IS PRIMETIME HIGH DEFINITION TV YOU BUMBLING LAMERS!!!
No wonder people turn to the internet.
