Futurama and King Of The Hill are basically the only shows on Channel 7 that I watch. Still, Channel 7's new "awesome summer" campaign really is a pain in the ass. Speaking of Australian TV station's advertising campaigns - has anybody seen a commercial on Channel 10 advertising next year's line-up? Nothing but crappy reality and lifestyle shows for 2004...

Has anyone noticed how channel 9 has become the "yard channel" ? an evening on 9 has become something like:
6:30: BackYard Blitz 7:00: FrontYard Blitz 7:30: Burke's BackYard 8:30: Burke's Frontyard 9:30: Location Location Location 10:00: The Block 10:30: The Suburb 11:00: Changing Rooms 11:30: Changing Houses
it just goes on, geez channel 9 used to be cool!

I personally find it really hard to believe that all these shows get good ratings. I mean, how many shows about gardening/rennovation/travel do they think we need anyway?

I may be mistaken... but i think i heard something about us getting American idol... And it gets worse with Big brother (3?)(4?), which is no doubt going to be terrorising TV screens very soon. If it wasn't for Neighbours and the, what now seems to be mandatory reality show, most days i could watch Channel Ten from 6:00-8:30 if i wanted to. In fact when the comedy line up was still on most days... Simpsons, Sienfeld, Raymond, Becker, Etc. And i wanted to watch all of it, i usually just watched Neighbors anyway, but now that The naked chef, Oliver's Twist and the other reality shows are on i can't do that anymore. I R Pissed. I personally find it really hard to believe that all these shows get good ratings. They don't really, but they're cheap to make, so they don't need good ratings to draw a profit.

Fargo is on Friday I think. Everyone Says this is a really great movie. And although it does seem to have a really great cast I wouldnt expect a kidnapp movie to be all that great. Has anyone seen it. Why is its reputation Justified. Oh and please, dont give anything away

I've heard that it comes out on February 18.
Anyway - getting back on topic, does anyone know if Channel 7 will start airing Futurama again once 24 is finished? Hell, if they put on 2 episodes every Thursday night (like they used to), they'd probably be able to finish airing every episode before the DVD comes out.

I don't know for sure, but I'd be surprised. I've pretty much given up on watching Futurama on 7 anyway. Soon I'll have every episode on DVD, so there will be no point staying up/ setting the VCR. Does anyone here know anything about Planet.DVD? Because $83.95 for Futurama S4 with free delivery seems pretty good to me, and definitely worth it if they can be trusted.

Are you working for them or something? Thanks, I think I might go with Planet.DVD [Edit] Yes, let's get back on topic. So... how about that Neighbors show eh?

Errrrmmm... steering well away from Neighbours - are there ANY decent new shows on this year? Pretty much every channel just seems to be adding a load of shitty reality shows to their 2004 lineup. In fact, I don't think I've seen a commercial for ANY good upcoming shows. I haven't even seen a commercial for a new season of any good current shows either!

Yeah that was great when they did that, although it made them use up the eps twice as quick....not that it matters now *hugs his S3 dvd* Back on topic, I have to say I've really gone off tv in the last few years....Reality shows, home improvement shows, cooking shows, dating shows.... I'm all for new ideas but don't run them dry.... I'd get Foxtel if I was home enough to make it worthwile....and I'd feel like I was wasting my money watching only one channel when there's 50 othetrs to choose from....heh Edit: February 18 wooo not far away ------------------ "Ride over, fall within.... Shadows follow me, swallow me...."

Channel 10 has a name for all the Television to placate the Depressed masses.
"Event" TV. I feel it describes the whole appauling situation a lot better. To be honest the term Reality TV was only appropriate when nearly every new show being made wasnt one.

What good Australian shows are there at the moment? Off the top of my head I can hardly think of any current Aussie shows (on free-to-air) worth watching.

Originally posted by M0le: Scrubs is a good show, some of the sitcoms on Seven on weekend nights(Life according to Jim, Still Standing, 8 Simple Rules for dating my teenage daughter) are decent, if nothing else. South Park on SBS is good for those boring Monday nights, but that's all I can think of that I find worth watching.
But those shows are American, no? I was talking about actual Australian content.
