Anybody know when Californication and The American Office are coming back?

pmc · 02-03-2009, 2:26 PM

The second season of Californication and season 4 if The US Office are well overdue a run on British TV. Anyone heard of when they will be back. I would hate for ITV and Five to miss out on my ad revenue if I'm forced to watch them elsewhere

i cant understand why anyone would wait

Yea, I got fed up of waiting too. Californication series 2 has finished and Series 5 of the office is nearly over!

I know d/loading is bad, but sometimes its the only way to actually see the shows!

But if you love the Office, I reccommend you buy the DVDs as the deleted scenes per episode tend to be 10-20mins per episode, and just as funny!

D/loading isn't always bad both are available to purchase on US Itunes,

oh wait that's bad as well.........urm........bugger

Hang on technically isn't buying the region 1 dvd box set also in the grey area as well because you shouldn't break to region code law, like the itunes law

I'll have to wait until it's on 5 for californacation, by that time David Ducovney will be celibate

Hi,

"Californication" will be back on Five and Five USA later in the year, probably early-to-mid Spring (e.g. April-June time). The delay's are purely down to the sheer amount of US shows that Five have available to them to show at the moment, and all the prime-time spots are already taken.

As for "The Office: An American Workplace", I think Season 4 is still on ITV2, and if not (because it's already been shown), then Season 5 will be on towards the Autumn. If it hasn't already aired, then Season 4 will be on in the Summer.

The Office S4 hasn't been shown yet on ITV2.

Digital Spy had it down on their premiere list as 'Jan TBC', then 'Feb TBC' & is now listed as 'Mar TBC'

Gave up waiting & bought the R1 boxset myself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no "region code law" it's just a cosy little arrangement the DVD producers cooked up between them.

There's no law that prevents you from buying something, no matter where in the world you buy it from and playing it somewhere else.

I can never understand, in this day and age, when just about everyone and their dog, knows how to downlaod TV shows, why broadcasters over here, don't air stuff as soon as it's available, like Sky, for instance do. Surely it's in their own interests? The longer the wait, the more likelihood people are going to download or even buy the Region 1 DVDs (first season of Lost being a prime example, R1 boxset out before C4 had even shown half the first season) causing them to lose viewers and eventually drop the show because of poor viewing figures.

Californication is great

Adderson · 03-03-2009, 2:41 PM

Your right perhaps I hid my sarcasm a little to well

I agree entirly UK tv care more about soaps & dance / singing contests than it does about quality imports

Natascha McElhone is also quite incredible considering her personal tragedy whilst making S2 - her husband, a very talented and charitable plastic surgeon who dealt with innocent victims of war, died suddenly (of a previously undiagnosed heart condition I believe), very sad for her and their young children.

Bad news for anyone waiting on The Office coming back to ITV2.

Someone wrote into the Radio Times this week asking when it was coming back, & ITV's answer was essentially, "Not until next YEAR because of 'scheduling issues'"

And when they do eventually show it they will now have 1 less viewer

The office is being shown on Paramount pretty much daily, I must of watched 10-15 episodes over the weekend.

I`m hoping to have some of the dvd`s for my birthday, great show

Where did you order it from aprout , & was there a lot of shipping,customs etc to pay it being a box set ? . Thanks

ITV2 go and do one.

aprout · 24-03-2009, 11:24 AM

think I got The Office S4 on ebay in the end.

It's up for sale in the classifieds at the moment!

Digital Spy's ever unreliable Premiere List has Californication Season 2 down as starting at the end of April (TBC) on Fiver. They've still got The Office S4 down as April (TBC) too, so take that with a hefty pinch of salt.

dunks517 · 25-03-2009, 10:25 PM

I've seen the first 2 episodes of Californication Season 2 and they were great, come on Five go HD!

neroon · 25-03-2009, 11:44 PM

I can't wait for more Californication .

aprout · 29-04-2009, 11:11 AM

FYI - Californication Season 2 starts next Thursday (7th) at 10pm on Fiver
