View Full Version : My kid's a star
Latest piece of drivel from the muppets at 9. I give it 5 weeks max before getting shunted to a late night timeslot. Might even do a Monster house.
Who are the people getting paid to think that there are people that would tune in to this sloppy pile of dog turds?
Cringed when I saw the advert for this, mainly because of the ugly hag that was in it.
Hopefully wont last long

I can't believe anyone believes that rubbish is going to rate. Channel 9 management, what are you thinking? Shows like that are an embarassment to your brand.
I give it 2 weeks.

Monster House board.
Geez 9 are shit these days.:p
Is this the show hosted by a Daddo [Cameron,I think] ?
Don't TV networks know that Daddo = baddo ?

Why give these oxygen thief parents the 15 minutes of fame they so desperately crave?
Thought Gyngell was supposed to return Nine to its former glory?
Depends how it's presented, could be good train wreck TV.
Delusional idiots living vicariously through their tone deaf kids. :D

There's only so many episodes of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares they can air a week.
Ramsay is the only thing holding the joint up at the moment.

You could say the only thing holding up 7 is it's news hour and the over 50s. Nine have Ramsay & Underbelly just from this year as well as usual hits CSI,60 Minutes,RPA etc etc. And they've improved dramatically from last year in the younger demos while 7 have dropped way down. And their previous hits such as Greys and DH are tanking. But don't let facts get in the way of your hatred of 9:rolleyes:
Anyway yeah this could be good train wreck tv or totally cringe worthy. I'm guessing the later:p

lmao @ 'hag'
Couldnt find a better word for it. Nasty lookin woman!
Pushy stage mothers (like Kerry Armstrong's character from Razzle Dazzle) would be looking forward to this show.

Saw the promo for this. Looks about as staged as Monster House was too.

I smell a boning.
We can only hope!
Should be renamed "I'm talentless and my mum's a greedy bitch".
Its going to be hilarious when this is boned, joining Monster House and Power of 10. That will make it 3 Aussie made ch 9 shows in about 2 months :D
lol Daddo, how does the man keep getting gigs
The Daddos are the Aussie equivalent to Ted McGinley

I caught the end of this when I turned the telly on for Underbelly. Dear God.
Ironic that the episode of Underbelly was called 'Suffer the Children' and included a father getting his brains blown out in front of his children. I'm sensing a message in there somewhere.
I only saw about 20 seconds of it near the end and noticed Max Markson is involved.Surely that sleazebag being involved is enough to spell a quick death of the show.

Apparently there is only 6 shows so I can see 9 keeping it until the end.........but gee, 30 seconds of it was enough for me. :thumbsd:
Sad to reward terrible parents who are screwing up their children with air time.
New low.

I missed out watching how bad Monster House was. The sadistic side of me wants to watch this before it gets pulled!

There's going to be a rather large 'boned' list at the end of the year.

Yup and it beat 7s geriatric tv in the 16-39 demo. 9 will keep it on.

Looks like the ratings were pitiful and another news service is already asking how long it will last :p

If this is quality of garbage that 9 keeps serving up over the past few years, no wonder Kerry's liver packed it in !!! :D

The deterioration has accelerated since Kerry passed away. When he was at the helm ch 9 was pretty much always leading, and at the very least, competitive, in the ratings.

Apparently (my sister told me this, she heard it on 60mins) the show is a total fake. The parents are nothing like this in real life & are being forced to be like this, probably trying to gain ratings. :rolleyes:
I didn't watch it but really didn't want to anyway.:thumbsd:
