And our own version of what not to wear for some reason.

Does anyone see a pattern in Channel 7's content here?
I think at least they have been investing in some very good Copyright Attorneys.

[Reply #41 on:]

Even the ol' reliable, ABC, is turning on its viewers.

Charlie Brown only once a week?! 

[Reply #42 on:]

Heh, Charlie Brown's a very cool show. Though I've never heard any kids that age speak as if they are college philosophers.

Did anyone see the new Simpsons tonight....? I forgot to tape it and I saw the ad and it looked quite good....New Halloween ep if I'm not mistaken....

The Halloween ones are always so funny....

[Reply #44 on:]

It was .. uhh .. alright. I'm not much of a Simpsons fan though, I still watched it.

The whole 2 hours was just filled with a new Simpsons treehouse of horror and some old ones (I think). The new one was OK, Homer being 'Death' was pretty funny.

[Reply #45 on:]

I knew they'd throw some old ones in there....
Is this gonna be Season 15 that everyone has been saying is a lot better than previous years....?

[Reply #46 on:]

I don't know what season it is, I'm not nearly as obsessive a fan of The Simpsons as I am  of Futurama. The new episode was good though. But didn't Family Guy already do the whole 'death' thing?

[Reply #47 on:]

I loved the Death episode of the Treehouse of Horror XIV.

Show spoiler

Not exact, but:
Homer: I've offed my wife for you, Lord. Now vanquish this curse off upon me!
God: No.
Homer: Aaaww, c'mon!
God: Oh, alright.
The idea of God giving in to that kind of argument was a real laugh for me.

[Reply #48 on:]

The chase was even better.

[Reply #49 on:]

Yeah, best part of the whole episode. Bart and Death on a two-seater bike = hilarious.

[Reply #50 on:]

I believe that both Family Guy & The Simpsons were spoofing a novel or something with that Death thing, or so I've heard anyway.

Either way, I really liked that Simpsons episode on Tuesday. Surprisingly funny.

HOMER: Jasper, you are now dead!
JASPER: Huh? Where's Doug?
HOMER: I'M Death now!
JASPER: ... I miss Doug. 

[Reply #51 on:]

I cannot believe this, Channel 7 you sons of bitches....next Tuesday night, the 17th....12:00AM Futurama is on....
1 day before the release of the Season 4 dvd

You bastards I hate you I hate you....!!! 

I bet it's The Why Of Fry as well, the one episode I have been dying to see....now should I watch it on t.v quality  or wait and see it for the first time on dvd....either way I should be happy I guess....  

[Reply #52 on:]

If it's The Why of Fry, wait until you've got your DVDs. You'll enjoy it more, and it'll make getting the DVDs that little bit sweeter 

Personally I was disappointed by TWOF though...

[Reply #53 on:]

Disappointed how....?
I've probably already heard too much about it so I don't want to spoil it anymore....

[Reply #54 on:]

The sunday times TV guide made quite the fuck up tonight. hardly anything in that guide aired at its correct time, And that 70's show wasnt even on. Ali G in da USAiii is on tommorow night. Complete with a new character. I cant wait.

Fair enough, I won't give anything away.  I can't exactly say why I didn't like it, it just didn't seem to have the proper Futurama vibbe... or something...

[Reply #56 on:]

Well the tv guide says Tuesday's "Series return" ep is TDTESS....um yeah....

*Buys the S4 dvd and shoots his tv*

[Reply #57 on:]

I personally was disappointed by The Why Of Fry too. It just seemed really thoughtless - as if the whole reason they made the episode was just to reveal that twist...

Hope I didn't give too much away. 

[Reply #58 on:]

Actually I think we must be getting TWOF, I misread the tv guide....the part about Nibbler enlisting Fry, and the brains I took that as meaning TDTESS....whoopsy daisy 

Hooray then I've been dying to see this ep even if you guys don't like it....!

[Reply #61 on:]

So what did you think of it?

[Reply #62 on:]

I loved it....!
My new favourite episode until I see the rest of S4....

I like closure and finding out the rest of the Fry/Nibbler story was greatly satisfying....even if it did confuse me even more....

[Reply #63 on:]

Well, as you probably know, I can't say I agree with you, but I'm glad you enjoyed it 

Maybe I'll appreciate it more when I see it again, in DVD quality (I've so far only seen a downloaded copy of it- didn't bother staying up last week).

[Reply #64 on:]

'The Sting' is on tonight, from what we've heard from other PEELers, we're in for a good episode.

[Reply #65 on:]

It is good. Not particularly funny by Futurama standards, but really well done.

[Reply #66 on:]

You lot seem to have a different TV timetable to mine own (I live in Queensland). The last bunch of episodes debuted on Feb 17, with BSNBAOTV.

Also, try CNNNN on ABC. Not for everyone, but can be quite amusing (asuming it returns this year). LAAAAAAAAAAAAMEAAAAAAAAAAAASS!

[Reply #67 on:]

Yeah I'm pretty sure we get The Sting tonight which I'm really looking forward to....
All you Eastern states people are one ep in front of us because last year we missed a week and you still got your ep....confused...??!11 

I'm so proud of myself I've had the S4 dvd's nearly a week and I still haven't watched the eps they haven't shown on TV yet....The Sting being one of them....heh-heh

EDIT, they showed BSNBAOTV....guess that means I'll see the Sting on glorious dvd for the first time....! *licks lips*

[Reply #68 on:]

one show i really like is scrubs, the "Get up-Ah!" song part in last nights episode was hilarious. channel 7 putting futurama back on is  alost cause, theyve pissed everyone off, so it made me "aquire" the rest of the episodes. i will eventually get the boxed sets, but im too poor right now. the amount of reality shows at the moment is funny, Average Joe, whow ants to marry my dad, my big fat obnoxious husband. funny, well off to eat pizza, thought id sahre that with you all

[Reply #69 on:]

That Hilton Sisters "reality" show - why does that exist? And why is there going to be a second season?

*head explodes*

Yeah, I'm a bit of a CNNNN fan myself. Do you read The Chaser?

[Reply #71 on:]

I shall assume that's something like the Onion ('cept Australia and heavily satirical) right? And no, sorry.

Also, I believe that some of the cast members have their own show on JJJ called Restoring the Balance, which is similar to CNNN, except it's on radio (gloviosly).

And I just have to post this quote from CNNN's "Degrassi Preschool" (or whatever it may be called).
"No! You're too pregnant for hopscotch!"

Yeah, it's an Australian satirical newspaper by the Chaser team (printed as an actual newspaper, not online- although they do have a website).

Didn't see that, but I can imagine it 

[Reply #73 on:]

Channel 7 finally showed The Sting last night....I dunno what you Eastern states people got though....Mind you I'm glad I already watched this one on dvd, seeing as how it started 10 minutes early and I missed the start....
Oh when will they get it right....

[Reply #74 on:]

Most likely never, but who needs channel seven anyway? I'm happy to stick with my DVDs.

What time do they show Futurama where you are (Perth?)?

[Reply #75 on:]

It's on at midnight in Perth  . Why do you ask, is it a different time elswhere?

[Reply #76 on:]

HELP MY HOVERCRAFT IS FULL OF EELS!

[Reply #77 on:]

Midnight - Might be the same for all states..

[Reply #78 on:]

From what I can see is that all states get the same episodes and they've been in this order:
The Why of Fry
Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV
The Sting

[Reply #79 on:]

Im glad scrubs is back, its hillarity all round. My resturant rules is pretty cool. Compared to the trash on channel 10.
