Channel Nine's high-ranking Hey Hey It's Saturday set to return in 2010 HEY Hey It’s Saturday looks set to return in 2010, with Channel Nine saying it was "thrilled" with how the recent reunion specials performed. Earlier, The Daily Telegraph reported that Nine boss David Gyngell, programmer Michael Healy and host Daryl Somers settled on the handshake deal over lunch last week. It is believed that 10 to 15 Hey Hey episodes will be produced. “We were thrilled with the performance of Hey Hey The Reunion Special and we’d love to see it return in 2010 in some capacity,” a Nine spokesperson said. The Hey Hey Reunion Specials proved a ratings winner for Nine, as it regularly rated better than primetime rival, Channel Ten’s Celebrity MasterChef. However, the show caused a major controversy after a Jackson Five tribute act appeared in the Red Faces segment. One of the panellists, Harry Connick Jr, took such exception to the performance that Daryl Somers moved to apologise to the US performer on air. http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,28383,26281095-10229,00.html Meh.

Rove McManus' show Rove rested from Ten schedule NETWORK Ten is planning to "rest" its flagging show Rove before a major overhaul that may turn it into a Hey Hey It's Saturday-style variety program. The network denied rumours Rove will be axed completely, despite the show hardly featuring at the network's 2010 programming launch last week. Ten's head programmer, David Mott, said Rove would not return at the start of the year but he would not comment on the reason or when the next season would screen, The Sunday Telegraph reports. A Ten spokesperson later said: "Rove will be back on Ten in 2010." A source close to the production said changes were being proposed to the Gold Logie-winner's show after Ten executives eyed the recent success of Channel Nine's Hey Hey It's Saturday specials. "Things will be different (on Rove) and, with the numbers attached to the recent Hey Hey outing, it's possible to see a more encompassing variety-type format when we come back," the source said. Since the return of Australian Idol on Sunday nights, Rove's ratings have again slid to under a million people nationally. Last Sunday it was well down on its 2009 peak, with just 852,000. Recent media reports that the hiatus for Rove would enable its star, Rove McManus, to make changes to The 7pm Project were labelled "untrue" by the source. The 7pm Project has struggled in its slot, with a nightly national audience of around 700,000. Sydney University media lecturer Dr Marc Brennan questioned the future of Rove's current format. "It's been through so many changes over the years to keep it fresh, there's possibly nothing left, really," Dr Brennan said. "It wasn't so much the show, it was Rove the personality that endeared itself to the Australian public in light of his tragic circumstances, and that kept viewers' interest there for a while. "The rapid reshuffling of the hosts and so forth indicate it's perhaps a show on its last legs." One McManus format seemingly set for the scrap heap is Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?. Persistent rumours regarding its future at Ten were fuelled by its non-inclusion in the network's program launch for 2010. It follows the program's poor returns this year. In a statement, Ten said: "We have yet to make firm plans regarding Fifth Grader." http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,28383,26288885-10229,00.html That said. I hate Rove.
