Man its amazing how much my hand wanted me to use the space bar.

[Reply #721 on:]

I agree with both Gleno and Chay's H, except for Joey, I didn't care for that show.

Good Aussie news, ABC is showing the Original "Round The Twist" episodes, I had the great opportunity to see "Spaghetti Pig Out" man that brings back memories of primary school.

[Reply #722 on:]

Ya, I saw a couple of them at the end of the holidays.
Useless fact #12: The school in 'Round The Twist' is actually Williamstown Primary School (I didn't go there but a lot of my friends did)

[Reply #723 on:]

Round The Twist rocks, when's it on Dogdoo....?

[Reply #724 on:]

I just checked YourTV, it's apparentally airing at 5:02pm. Ah, I used to love that show as a kid... before they replaced every single character.

On a side note, I don't believe it. Just a week after we were all saying how downhill The Glass House has gone, and last night, perhaps the funniest episode so far this year aired. I was crying with laughter during the "LEGO!!!" argument, and just when I thought that couldn't be topped, the Arj Barker/bunny massage thing happened. Hilarious. 

Anyone who missed it - check it out on its late night Friday repeat.

[Reply #725 on:]

It starts at 11 am in sydney, not shore about other places.

Todays one was where, "Linda had a big nose and they use the magic gum leaves".

Anyone notice that they've put "King Of The Hill" on seven from 2 - 3 in the afternoons! Its not great but its OK.

[Reply #726 on:]

Yeah, I've been watching King of the Hill - but I missed the first 4 episodes since I didn't realise it was on until Wednesday last week. We're moving so fast... we're already up to Season 9 today, and at the start of last week, we were just 3 episodes into Season 8...

The funniest episode so far is My Hair Lady. Seeing Bill try to act gay is priceless. 

[Reply #727 on:]

i always miss key lines. what did Sayid say that shocked everyone at the very end? good ep though.

[Reply #728 on:]

Ack! Missed it!

I hate myself.

[Reply #729 on:]

ohhh, well, as you so kindly made a good description which then got lost, i will do the same for you! so, you'll have to read Dogdoo's instead...

but heres what happened.

Show spoiler

it was pregnant lady’s (Claire?) turn for the spot light, we found out about how she got pregnant, and she saw a psychic who went all weird and said she HAD to raise this child and not let anyone else raise it, blah blah, he then he back flipped and said, you will fly to LA and give your child to these people.

Meanwhile on the island, she had some nightmares, then someone attacked her in her sleep, apparently trying to injure her child, only Charlie believed it actually happened, Jack said it was due to stress. This attacked prompted Hurley to get a census of everyone on the island, so he goes round questioning everyone, (Name, where form, why on flight etc etc) he talks to some guy who we have never seen before, gets his name wrong at first, (they go into a lot of depth for a character we have never seen before) he then talks to the Bro and sis and the bro says there is a list of everyone on the flight and sawyer has it, sawyer is nice and gives it to him.

Claire goes in labour in the middle of the forest, and sends Charlie to get Jack, he gets half way there and sees the weird guy Hurley was talking to (Liam? i think, ill call him Liam) and he tells Liam to get jack, and he doubles back to Claire.

Sayid stumbles back bleeding into the cave, tells jack "something something we aren't alone on this island!"

Charlie is with Claire, wondering where jack is. Chairlie comments on the psychics backflip and says, maybe he knew this would happen, this way no one but you can raise it.

Hurley goes up to jack with the list, and tells him he's interviewed everyone and checked it with the list and.... THERE'S SOMEONE ONE ON THE (i got over caps lock) island that wasn't on the flight!!!

we find out it was a false alarm with Claire and they head back to the cave, where they are met by Liam, he stands there all menacing and says "Hello" and Charlie pulls Claire closer to him


END

Sorry for all the bad grammer and spelling mistakes, i belted that out quickly. Any other questions?


EDIT: pressed enter too early
2nd EDIT: i fixed it up a tad, still bad grammer and spelling though
3rd EDIT: had to add one more thing, and put it in spoilers
4th EDIT: i give up

[Reply #730 on:]

What Sayid said wasnt important, It was along the lines of "I had to come back".

[Reply #731 on:]

i know its answering my own question but i found out, it was "were not alone on this island" thats pretty important in relation to what happened at the very end.

[Reply #732 on:]

Nicly done chay's head. I don't think I'll be doing one today.
From watching the preview for next week, it looks like Charlie gets wacked.

Original "Around the twist" is finished, it was just on for the school holidays.
Episode was "Wonder Pants" Twist chucks his undies in the microwave and gets super abillitys, then they shrink and he puts them on his frog, that goes on to beat Rabbits Mugga (cain toad).

[Reply #733 on:]

Lost was pretty good last night.

I have a question, In Claire's first nightmare we see Locke and he had one white eye and one Black eye. Could this have something to do with one of the back episodes where he is showing the kid that checkers has one black marker and one white one? Because he held them in front of the camera for quite a long time. SOMEONE ANSWER ME!!

Also, Chays Head, I thought that guy you called Liam was called Ethan.

[Reply #734 on:]

mmk, was Liam the name he got confused with at first?

And yeah i think you may be right about the checkers thing, but don't read into it too much.

[Reply #735 on:]

Has anyone noticed how the sci-fi shows are on late at night?
And I just read about a news report on 7, about skaters skating the Bali Bomb memorial. Aussie skaters are now going hated by the public, which is going to suck big time

[Reply #736 on:]

Nobody over the age of 13 should be skating.

[Reply #737 on:]

Also, when weren't skaters hated by the public?

[Reply #738 on:]

It makes me glad I live in a 'country' town in SA, also I can get some of the user names of the people who skated it at www.skateboard.com.au
@mole, I sarted when I was 13!! kids under the age should not skating because they are dangerous fucks or at least not use skate parks
@chay's head, I have had problems with people bescause skating when I was up at the Library because of rain and all I was doing was sitting down

about the skating at the bali bomb mem.
   

Frenzal at www.skateboard.com.au:[/url] 
um, NO.

thats kinda sad.
I hope that nobody ever skates a memorial. no matter how good the marble ledges are, I think that its disrespectfull.

Its the same as someone comming up to someone who you loved grave and dancing on it.
it would offend you. so why do it? c'mon....

[Reply #739 on:]

I hate King Of The Hill....I loved Tom Anderson on Beavis and Butthead (who the show is obviously based on) but I think unless you're a redneck, it's just not funny to Aussies....but each to their own....!

Joining anyone of ethnic ancestry, social progressives, people who modify their cars, student activists, makers of popular brands of dish washing detergent, anti-war protestors, live music venues, the reserve bank and basically anyone who isn't a fat, suburban, middle-class consumer with a mortgage and a tribe of obnoxious children.

I wouldn't worry about anything that the commercial network's news and 'current affairs' programs broadcast. Chances are, the uneducated simpletons who watch that sort of drivel already hate you, it's just that their TV hasn't told them the specifics yet.

[Reply #742 on:]

*sigh*

i just missed the first 20 minutes of LOST, what happened? Thanks anyone.

[Reply #743 on:]

A bomb went off and everybody died.

[Reply #744 on:]

:O wow, what a twist! so how'd they all come back to life in the 40 minutes that i did watch? 

Also, that bit with charlie was sooo stupid, but i spose they will explain it by saying it was the "magic of the island"

[Reply #745 on:]

^It was a bit much...
But the four most important words that will explain everthing like you said,"Magic Of The Island" 

[Reply #746 on:]

I'm couldn't really care about charlie or the girl! I'm more interested in what Locke and nonse boy found.......
......SECRET MILITARY BASE?

Thats one of many thoughts in my head.

Anyone know of the movies called "TREMORS" there where 4 of them! Anyway they've made a series now, its not bad, I've been watching it for nearly 2 months. Its on at 1am Thuresdays on 10.
Last night they had to staop a Huge Killer "Shrimp", ahh fun times.

[Reply #747 on:]

Don't you people know anything? They're all magic leprechauns from the future who came back in time to prevent John Howard from being re-elected a third time.

[Reply #748 on:]

^Uuh... yaeh, well!! I ...uuuh... I knew that!!

[Reply #749 on:]

"Hello my name's Sally, and i'm a recovering bogan."
 

Seriously, did anyone tape that, and have the means of converting it to a conveniant digital format? I missed half of it because i was still laughing my arse off at the previous joke.

Huggles will be had if i get a rewatchable copy.

[Reply #750 on:]

Speaking of bogans, never go to Sale. It's full of little bogan smokers.
I swear, the bus rolled into the school, and there was a group of kids (looked about 10) standing around with some teachers and they were ALL SMOKING! I don't think I need to provide further evidence of their boganness.

[Reply #751 on:]

What show are you talking about, Rage?

[Reply #752 on:]

The comedian on Rove last night.

[Reply #753 on:]

Ah. Rove.

...

No comment.

 

[Reply #754 on:]

Not fully TV-related, but for any Aussies interested, Family Guy, Season 3 came out on DVD down here yesterday. 

[Reply #755 on:]

mm, saw that. Bit pricey though, even if it is 3 discs. Also, i was able to see the first ep of season 4, some very funny bits.

Also saw HHGTTG. Really liked it, mainly the planet building part, that whole bit was cool. Them painting Ayers(sp?) Rock red, that was cool.

Fuck, no LOST this week,  . What was with 7 promoting Amazing Race as to feauture like the entire cast of Survivor! its only Boston and Amber. i spose its better that way.

[Reply #756 on:]

Not Aussie TV-related, but still, it's only relevant to Aussies, so I figured I'd post it here anyway...



Coming in 12 days! 

[Reply #757 on:]

Hey, lets see how far we can push the thread until it gets closed 

[Reply #758 on:]

Yaay!! Lost is back on tonight! Anyone know who it revolves around tonight?

[Reply #759 on:]

A monkey named Chip?

I don't know, I'm just glad that my thursdays are back to normal.
