ProSieben Reshuffles Monday Sitcom Lineup
ProSieben will change its Monday evening sitcom schedule effective 14 September after three weeks of weak ratings. The broadcaster will air four consecutive Germany-premiere episodes of Georgie & Mandy, pushing Ted roughly 55 minutes later to about 22:05 (with a new-season episode followed by a season-1 repeat). St. Denis Medical will move to a later 23:15 slot with back-to-back episodes airing as Free-TV premieres. The changes follow disappointing audience figures since the August 10 schedule rollout: Georgie & Mandy averaged 6.6% in the key 14–49 demo (with wide fluctuation), Ted’s new episodes peaked at 4.3%, and St. Denis Medical averaged just above 2%, hitting a low of 0.5% (approx. 60,000 total viewers) in the demo.
ProSieben tweaks afternoon sitcom schedule
ProSieben announced changes to its daytime sitcom block effective July 13, 2026. The broadcaster will reduce afternoon airings of The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men from triple-episode blocks to double episodes. Freed airtime will be filled by showing The Middle in double episodes around 13:10, which pushes Young Sheldon to about 14:10 and adds 2 Broke Girls at 14:35 (previously seen mainly on Saturdays). Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory will start later in the afternoon (shortly after 15:00 and 16:00 respectively). The overall length of the sitcom block remains unchanged; the rest of the afternoon schedule (taff, Newstime, The Simpsons, Galileo) is unchanged.
ProSieben to Air Remaining 'Superduper Show' Episodes
ProSieben will broadcast the three previously unaired episodes of the Superduper Show starting 20 September, airing weekly on Sundays at 11:45. The show, featuring Bill and Tom Kaulitz and moderated by Katrin Bauerfeind, was pulled from its original Tuesday 20:15 slot in 2024 after poor ratings (around 500,000 viewers and a 6.1% market share in the core demographic). DWDL reports ProSieben confirmed the schedule change, citing a Quotenmeter report. The article also notes new late-evening episodes of Schäm dich Reich! will run from 9 September, and that the Superduper Show was produced by SEO Entertainment, which was later folded into Madame Zheng.
