Tru Calling To Air Twice A Week in Australia... ...now on Thursdays and Fridays at 9:30pm, beginning this coming week.

This may be an attempt by the network to improve the sagging ratings for the so-so rated series.

Does this mean ANGEL will saty at a permanent time of 10:30??

Uh what happened to it getting canceled in Australia? Just wondering.

Ugh, another fequently used *dumb* tactic by Channel Seven; get the season out of the way, fast. I'm not even going to try and understand the logic behind it.

Tru Calling MAY get cancelled - it isn't a certainty yet.

The network is struggling overall, with low ratings not just for shows like Miss Match and Tru Calling, but also for its staples like All Saints, Home and Away and Blue Heelers, hence the major revamps of AS and the upcoming revamp of Blue Heelers.

And I doubt Tru Calling will be taken off the air entirely. If they do move it out of the Friday at 9:30 timeslot, which is an entirely STUPID timeslot for ANY series in my opinion, it will probably just be shelved to the typical 10:30pm timeslot.

And yes, Angel is staying at the permanent time of 10:30.

This is a pretty off topic reply re: Channel 7...I thought that with shows like 24 and Alias on the network, it wouldn't be doing so badly.

But at least Angel is getting a permanent time slot at a reasonable time now. Just in time for the last 3 episodes! Guess it's better late than never...

I can't understand networks at all.

There is a worldwide feeling of apathy for Tru Calling and yet it continues whilst the largest and best organised fan campaign ever couldn't convince anyone to save Angel.

The very least that should have happened is that Tru Calling got axed as well to pave the way for a possible Faith series but nope, we get no Whedon show at all next season and the cliche ridden Tru Calling goes on to a season 2!

Somebody wake me up when the good tv comes back! Truthfully i'm just grateful i have a real life because if i was one of those people who depended on television to keep them going i would be looking at a very sad year ahead!
