It was two very good shows, some of the most successfull sketch comedy shows world wide. Previously we saw the Comedy Company ect, the list goes on. Recently the Seven Network axed a failing unfunny Let Loose Live programme which was intended to be a spin off from the US hit Saturday Night Live.

Which show did you prefer and find funny?

Personally I thought Fast Forward was by far funnier. With actors such as: Steve Vizard, Michael Veitch, Peter Moon, Steve Blackburn, Glenn Robbins, Geoff Brooks and the "Famous Four" Magda Szubanski, Gina Riley, Jane Turner and Marg Downey were far funnier that Full Frontal's lesser actors.

Full Frontal picked up were Fast Forward left off, and Eric Bana was clearly the star of the show.

Quick question for fans, does anybody remember why Fast Forward finished in November 1992?

Fast Forward by a long way, the only thing that made Full Frontal watchable was Shaun Micallef and Francis Greensleigh, both who are said to have disliked working on the show.

I have to go with Full Frontal but thats not really an educated decision. I was too young for Fast Forward but have since seen the DVDs and they are hilarious but i remember growing up i loved Full Frontal. Was an absolutely awesome show so it gets the nod from me.

Full Frontal. Both shows are great but the only thing that separates both shows would be when Full Frontal had Shaun Micallef, John Walker, Francis Greenslade, Kitty Flanagan and Diana Ried with the famous continual skits such as the Netty Show, annnn, Fabio's Love Tips and Milo Kerrigan. That was the peak of Full Frontal.

Fast Forward though could lay claim to setting up a generation of comedians such as Steve Vizard (now in politics I know), Glenn Robins, Peter Moon, Ernie Dingo (first season), Magda Szubanski, Jane Turner, Gina Riely (the latter three making Kath & Kim which included most Fast Forward stars).

So, based entirely on that 1 season of Full Frontal I voted Full Frontal because every other season, though being great, couldn't match that season.

I now know I've watched too much Comedy Channel :p

Full frontal.Best segment was the Ray Martin bit , with all the characters in the audience.Best actor on there was Ross Williams , he did some good work talking fast like in the restuarant skits and the horse racing ones.

Fast Forward was easily the better of the two, with the late Eighties being peak time for Australian comedy.
One particular sketch remains fondly etched in my memory, regarding the Multi Function Polis in Adelaide not long after this plan was announced. Absolute classic.

Fast Forward, when Steve Vizard and Peter Moon did a p-ss take on "Kung Fu". Especially the scene that had Vizard literally crying from laughing, but attempting to hold it in, that went-

Moon: "Yes, donkey d1ck?"
Vizard: "Thats grasshopper, Master"

It had me in stitches.

I'd have to go with Fast Forward, although I didn't mind Full Frontal either.

Kelvin Cunnington (the dorky guy with the silly laugh who worked at Eastpac Bank played by Michael Veitch) used to make me p*ss myself laughing at some of the stuff he came out with. :D
They had some great skits on that show.

I loved watching Full Frontal for Eric Bana's impressions of Ray Martin and Glen Ridge :D

Both very funny but Fast Forward had that De-gen flavour with Veitch's Kelvin character. Loved Vizard's Hinch send ups and Marg Downey as Jana Wendt interviewing Gerry Connolly as Joh Bjelke Petersen .... 'You're wrong Jana'

There was Michelle and Ferret, the creepy swinging couple, the Dodgy brothers, the gay airline stewards, Gina Riley's brilliant video clip ripoffs. I agree too that the Moon/Vizard first Kung Fu skit was priceless stuff, I laughed just as hard as them.

Oh and before I forget, Bruce Ruxton does Romper Room. 'Get out of it, you bloody bee'. :D

Fast Forward was revolutionary stuff. Came hot on the heels of the Comedy Company but was infinitely better. The way they cut from scene to scene, ad to ad, funny credits etc, it was so original.

For those whom were'nt arround when Fast Forward was this is for you:

If you liked Full Frontal chances are you would've LOVED Fast Forward.
I have all three Fast Forward DVD's and can't wiat for the fourth one to come out soon. Skit's like: Good Morning Moscow(Legendary!!!)

How can we EVER forgot the line, Victor your a very unattractive man!

The Show D-Generation formed several groups. Two sketch shows: 10's The Comedy Company, 7's very successful Fast Forward. It also created The Pannel and radio personalities such as Martin/Molloy and Judith Lucy.

The show created many brilliant actors but none as good as Magda Szubanski.

R.I.P. Fast Forward.

Sketch comedy is very difficult to be successful these days. Its very tough to get ratings and create successful, funny shows. Aussie Comedy is thriving however not on our TV. Any comedy show on TV these days struggle for ratings, and if the networks dont get ratings the network aint intrested in wasting time in gambling for ratings. Aussie Comedy, especially sketch wont be successful on TV for at least 3-5 years. At the end of that period everybody will of had enough of serious shows and will demand a laugh. Comedy then will boom on TV and spurt again for arround a decade then once again die down then pop up. Comedy on TV has its own circle. At the moment were just seeing nonse rubbish and stupid non funnyisms shows.
IMO Comedy Inc is very, very funny and is a great sketch comedy show.

To like Fast Forward, you needed to be a huge fan of parody. I'm not - at least not in the copious doses served up by this show. Much prefered the more satirical or character-based humour of Full Frontal and Comedy Company.

I only really started watching from Full Frontal onward, although I have seen a little bit of Fast Forward (I was basically not allowed to watch them because I was too young :()

Therefore my fairly biased view is that Full Frontal was by far the funnier of the two. Shaun Micallef is the best comedian I have ever seen - always makes me laugh. Eric Bana was great, ANNNN was hilarious, Francis Greenslade was great and the list goes on and on.

I have never really been much of a fan of Michael Vitch, Peter Moon or Marg Downey. They were really funny occasionally (particularly Marg Downey when she did the SBS presenter role, and Peter Moon in the Kung Fu sketch alluded to) but I never really laughed as hard as I did at Full Frontal.

Vizard quits, facing fines and bans
John Ferguson and Craig Binnie
05jul05

STEVE Vizard may face being banished from the boardroom and fined up to $600,000 after misusing his Telstra directorship to trade shares.

Mr Vizard, 49, dramatically quit two major public posts as the fallout from a two-year corporate watchdog investigation widened.
Premier Steve Bracks said Mr Vizard had surrendered positions as chairman of the Major Events Company and the 2007 World Swimming Championships board.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission alleged Mr Vizard had breached his duty as a Telstra director to gain an advantage for himself or others.

He could be banned as a director for life and fined up to $600,000.

The multi-millionaire businessman has escaped criminal charges, but has agreed that he misused his position.

Federal Court documents allege Mr Vizard bought and sold shares in three listed companies -- Sausage Software, Computershare and Keycorp.

ASIC said Mr Vizard's actions contravened the Corporations Act because as a director he used the information improperly to gain an advantage. It said the information gained by Mr Vizard had enabled him to make profits and avoid making losses.

Steve Vizard left the Comedy company to make Fast Forward. He was n actor and the director. This issue happened today.

EDIT: I'd just like to add how much these days skit shows suck in comparison. Comedy Inc, skithouse etc etc are all horrible.

i've been watching the full frontal repeats on the comedy channel in the afternoon...

the episode aired today was one they aired during the summer ratings season, it included some old sketches, some bloopers etc... anyhow the timing of showing this episode was increadibly poor or increadibly funny, depending on which way you look at it...

there was scrolling text on the screen which was a list of things you could do instead of watching crap television, or something like that, wasn't paying much attention, as it was cutting in and out of the whole episode...

anyhow, getting to the point, one of the things on the list was to "Strangle Richard Carleton"...

Basically, I agree with your summary. Full Frontal was good, but it just didn't have the sheer quality of the wonderfully talented comedians and comediennes who appeared in Fast Forward, a number of whom have continued their success in other TV and film work.

With the exception of Bana, Full Frontal was basically Australian televisions comedy "B" team, whereas Fast Forward was the "A" team.

My favourite Fast Forward character: Bruce Rump. I found myself so often agreeing with his sentiments. :D

Fast Forward by quite a considerable margin. Full Frontal was good, but it was more in the Skithouse/Comedy Inc genre, whilst Fast Forward was absolutely brilliant Australian comedy (similar to The Comedy Company).

Eric Bana (and maybe Micallief as well) was the only performer who got near the quality of those on Fast Forward.

I'd say also that theres a good chance that those voting for Full Frontal were basically too young to appreciate the quality of Fast Forward.

Fast Forward by a country mile. Vizard was funny. Legzopena was hilarious. Every week they would come to the same conlusion to use sex to sell a product. Peter Moon should get more gigs. I loved the sketch where he was in love with this girl and she would just go on about everything being sexy in the world except him. He was so perfect for that. Moon is a legend. Magda was hilarious too. She had Pixie-Anne Wheatley, which got a bit tiresome but she played this crusty old, chain-smoking housewife, I can't remember her name, something like Beryl, and she was insanely funny. Vizard with the gay stewards with Veitch. Fast Forward was fantastic. That Kung Fu sketch is so well known.

Shaun Micallef playing Milo Kerrigan on Full Frontal was just about the only worthwhile thing. I remember him playing ping pong, it was amazing slapstick and he decides to jump the net like they do in tennis. Man, that was insane. The character of Milo Kerrigan reminds me a bit of Roy and HG but harsher.

Full Frontal with Milo Kerrigan was like watching Hamish and Andy and only waiting for Mr G. I think there was another dud comedy show that had Mr G and it was only worth watchihg for Mr G.

I miss some good Aussie comedy. Something fresh.
