    After taking a ridiculously long hiatus from Channel 6, The Closer made a return to 3e six weeks ago, only to be pulled from the schedule again. Anyone know what gives? I really should have been paying attention to the guy that speaks over the credits each week :rolleyes:

    And its wrecks my head when they tout it as "brand new drama" when its over two years since it aired in the States :mad:

    It is run by TV3. They did the exact same with The Shield more than once. I don't watch any television series on their channels as a result.

    God, dont even get me started on their treatment of The Shield! How they could cut a season with only two eps to go is beyond me!!?? :confused:

    What looks horrible?

    The Shield is on Monday to Friday after the news on TV3 11:10.

    The Closer is brilliant best detective series on the TV, by that I am talking about CSI/Law & Order type shows. Keep missing. More 4 put it on at a ridiculous time.

    Yes and they will probably stop showing it with 2 episodes to go. They have done this twice already.

    They'll keep showing it until Vincent Browne comes back in Sepember. Why the moaning for - they're showing it 4 times a week in a good slot. If they stopped showing it halfway through a season before then it probably was took off because it wasn't performing good with ratings at that time. That's how TV schedules work every week!

    Sky 1 have started showing double episodes of House, and 3e want to keep ahead of them - so that's why they've put 2 episodes on Thursday and in doing so knocking The Closer off. I wouldn't worry too much - it should return in September when House finishes.

    Why do they go back to it if it is performing slowly. They stopped showing it for that Celebrity in the jungle bull****. Makes no difference now as rather than wait for the amatures at TV3 I bought the DVD boxsets.

    They should think about putting the Closer on TV3, It would suit Monday Night.
