Title: Next Week TAR will have a double episode. #Boycott7 (except TAR of course)
Post by: theamazingracer21 on August 19, 2014, 04:53:09 PM
Hello RFF.

7 have announced that next week will be a double episode  :groan: :gaah: :o :crazy:.

Of course this is probably because 7 didn't have faith in the show in the first place because they didn't give it a 7:30 slot for something that should be on in a family friendly time-slot (finishing at 10pm is not family friendly and that's for a normal episode). This double episode just the final nail in the coffin.

Please I ask you all to #Boycott7 (except TARAu, of course) until they either renew the show for season 4 or give up the rights to TAR so another network can give this show the treatment it should deserve.

Also feel free to rant with me.

Boycotting does NOT seem like the answer to me. Getting MORE not less people to watch seems the way. Why would you want to ask people to NOT watch? Throw a party! Invite a crowd!

I love the idea of MORE TAR!

He says to boycott channel 7 and ONLY watch TARAus and nothing else.

Does anyone know if this Double episode will happen in New Zealand as well?

This pretty much.

No doubt the timeslot is killing the ratings. Those timeshifted ratings indicate that most people find it too late to watch when it airs, and they catch up later or dont bother at all. These double episodes will just further crush ratings, it's clear at this point seven has given up on this being a ratings chance and just wants to end the series ASAP.

But of course, it's not like anything other than XFactor is a ratings booster for seven at this time of year. Why reruns of Border Security and Highway patrol get primetime spots on Wednesday nights is beyond me.

It's not like seven doesn't know how to fix this, everywhere you read people are pleading them to move this to an earlier timeslot. They've just chosen to ignore it :(
