BREAKING. SABC3 is back in form. Get ready for GREAT shows!
















You're reading it here first. While the magazines who are supposed to tell you about it, can only do so only in a few weeks - if they ever do - I have the complete schedules for SABC3 until the end of the year (note: it's preliminary scheds, so things can still change). But you can truly start salivating. And for once in a long time, about SABC3.

Jot down the dates for these SUPER HOT shows that SABC3 is making space for on the channel's line-up. From the look of it, SABC3 seems eager to fight back and reclaim the space of it's former slogan ''quality shows''. I'm glad.

There's several more nuggets hidden in the longform schedules I just scoured through with a magnifying glass ( as is my way) but here are some of the really top rated stuff SABC3 has in the works that I promise won't disappoint you. (I've watched most of these already and enjoyed them).

The Amazing Race XII, Monday 7 September, 20:31
Prison Break III, Tuesday 8 September, 21:00
Dryfsand, Thursday, Thursday 10 September, 21:00
Law & Order XV, Thursday 10 September, 22:15
Top Travel II, Wednesday 7 October, 20:00
Oceans 3, Saturday 13 October, 18:30 (AWESOME local documentary series!)
Lipstick Jungle II, Tuesday 20 October, 21:00
Californication, Friday 5 November, 22:15
Big Bang Theory, Tuesday 17 November, 19:30

NOT ON: The new season of The Tyra Banks Show was supposed to start in September, but because of delayed repeat episodes of The View that the channel must broadcast (don't blame SABC3), the start of Miss Tyra has been pushed out.

JUST WAIT FOR IT: The new season of The Oprah Show should start somewhere in December, just two months after the new season that will start on 24 October in America.
