What do you guys and girls think?

Im going to be watching Stargate Atlantis on Thursdays. No press release even mentions Atlantis.

This station means that all the wuality programming that doesnt rate has a place in primetime rather than the graveyard shift.

Digitally tv is a win for consumers.

[Ashes]

We've had this in South-East QLD for a good month or two now......

I prefer "Go!" myself (channel 9's (or "Win" as we call it) alternative programming channel), but I haven't really gotten around to watching much on 7TWO. I don't watch that much TV anyway.
