With the run to the end of the year in sight, you’d think the networks have it all worked out. From what we’re seeing… some things are still to fall into place. Not many episodes of Top Gear Australia to go, and Channel 9 and shelved it – and they may be considering the same for Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year, though it will likely see it through to the end of it’s 10 show first season. Channel 7, on the other hand, have a pretty good run to the end with shows like Beauty and the Geek Australia waiting to drop. As for Channel 10… well, after it’s “Qld Flood Clean Up Week” this week, you get the feeling they can’t get The Renovators finished up quick enough and get Junior MasterChef on our tellys.

Channel 10 are dropping the final two episodes of the last season of Glee ahead of the new series starting next week – which they’ll be fast-tracking. At last, some intelligent programming decisions from the network.

With the season just finished, it’s good to see Can Of Worms getting a season replay on ONE from Tuesday 9:30pm.
