Television shows we hate

<< < (19/52) > >>

Kate Richie, acting :?

I'm actually not allowed to watch Underbelly but It is quite honestly the only thing that channel 9 has going for it in terms of tv other than crap involving Gordon Ramsey or Sports. TV sadly is the future, we can see a shift in America from movies to serial tv-shows and mini-series - I'd like to see anyone try to disagree with Richard Gere on this. Australia needs to do this is well. I'm sure that there are a lot of budding young Australian writers out there with script to sell and with all the money that Fremantle Media pick up off shows like Big Brother and Idol they can afford to finance the production of Australian mini-series, series and tele-movies. Of late, the ABC has been doing this although any series other that Summer Heights High and The Chaser's have failed to recieve any major public acclaim.

Do you remeber Tripping Over, it was a fantastic miniseries that was filmed in conjunction with the BBC and aired on TEN a few years back?

minorbird:
No I didn't see Tripping Over, but my mum has said some good things about it though.
I think comedy, specifically satire, is what is finding the most success out of all the original Australian content - the Chaser, Chris Lilley's shows, Good News Week etc.
The problem is that often the stations won't risk airing it at prime time against the tried and proven sports coverage or reality tv shows or fucking soap operas. Ugh. Imagine trying to get them to show an Aussie min-series in favour of American shows such as Heroes, Prison Break, or Lost? Anyways, I can't see it happening on free-to-air networks. Unfortunately. I really enjoyed the mini-series Jessica, an adaptation of a Bryce Courtenay novel. Of course, it was shown at like 9:30 on a shitty night.

Anything shown on Mtv is usually crap. Unless its a video clip. Which is never. So, I guess its all crap.

Fishboy:
Yeah i agree minor bird, although i could never get into GNW after it left the ABC. Sideshow was amazingly awesome before it was canned, as was glasshouse, now theres nothing good on. Excluding antiques roadshow and scrapheap challenge on ABC2, i love those shows.

minorbird:
Antiques Roadshow. Lol.

Ikrik:
Antiques Roadshow?  That show is SO interesting.....when there's absolutely nothing else on.  My main problem with that show is that they TALK to the owners who generally end up just saying stupid, uninteresting things.  I don't care about how you obtained it....I just want to know how much the thing is worth.
