Seriously what is it with this garbage? All it consists of is thinly veiled entertainment journalism and inane vapid drivel between co-hosts.


ABC2 is a much better option if you want to see the news in the morning.

the same question should be posed to why do people want to wake up to kyle and jackie o in the morning?

i swear the people hosting it are on some powerful anti depressant

There's much more to both shows than that. There's network cross-promotion (sadly the ABC is not immune from this either) and advertorials (and there are times when, totally against their charter, the ABC end up doing this).

The other thing appealing about Sunrise apart from Mel's norgs is Nat Barr.

Still can't stand the show, though, not that I hardly ever have to watch it.

I'm still asleep at 9am, too.

Mostly, I'm a student, and have all my lectures in the afternoon, so I stay up until about 2am and get up when Sunrise and Today are all over. Only time I do get up early is when I am doing morning shift for work.

Kill it with fire

The Morning Show is worse than these 2 combined. The ****ing shit they talk about. Celebrity this, What Britney Spears had for breakfast, how many pubes on Miley Cyrus beaver etc. They may aswell call themselves Womans Day and be done with it

Disgusting TV show.

There are times where she doesn't look so great, but she's got a pretty neat body for an older woman.

nothing to wrong with Mel on Sunrise. She is not bad at all (for her age)

I have never been a fan of Today. I used to be a fan of Sunrise in its formative years, but they have become full of themselves since they "put Rudd into power".

Channel 7 as a whole is annoying the shit out of me.
- With their constant cross-promotions, always plugging their shows...
honestly you can't watch a single show without it plugging some other show.
- Also has anyone else noticed how their shows constantly run over time??? News might run to 6:35pm so you miss the start of other shows on other channels at 6:30pm. Then Today Tonight will run to almost 7:10pm... H&A until 7:40pm and so on. (Wife watches these shows and it shits me when I want to start watching anything else).

"Breakfast" on ABC2 is my choice. So much more informative and covers 4X as much news and events. Watching 15 mins of Breakfast is = 60 mins of Sunrise.

Also... if you want a perve... Vanessa O'Hanlon >>>> ALL THE ABOVE
Also also... can't recall her name but when Virginia Trioli was on holidays/sick the female replacement they had was SMOKIN. :)

I hate these fake morning shows where everyone is all fake nice. Is there anyone more fake on tv then Mel? I watch ch10 which runs the local radio station 90.9seafm. Kind of stupid to watch the people doing radio but it sure beats the crap on 7 and 9.

Don't complain about either of these shows until you've seen the show after sunrise, The Morning Show. Ranks up there with current shitest TV shows.... actually that's given me an idea.

I will admit that I watch Sunrise as it is the better of two evils. I get up at 5.30a.m. so need something to keep me away getting ready til I toddle out the door to get the ferry to Town to work..the one few downsides of living on a tropical island i guess.

If someone shot that Mel I wouldn't shed a tear tho. Oi!! what a Fake Princess.

And that bitch hosting it is such a shit interviewer.

She tries to be really aggressive and just ends up looking like a ****wit.

Last week or show she spent about 5 minutes attacking Joe Hockey for the Libs having the nerve to suggest their own policy "because this is not the job of the opposition"

I mean wtf? This is high brow in this country?:rolleyes:

Perhaps she can afford to be aggressive since she is one of the most respected and award journalists in the country. Virginia Trioli is a multi Walkley Award (Nation's leading award) winner.

I guess it is personal preference... you either prefer to watch presenters who have a clue or you prefer to watch bimbos talking about Cash Cows, Kochies poor jokes, or exchanging personal baby stories. :rolleyes:

Out of curiosity has she ever been awarded anything for on-camera work? While she might be a credible journalist she is an utterly shocking on-air personality trying to turn every interview into some adversarial slanging match which at the best of times is a pain and at the worst makes her seem WAY out of her depth.

"It's not the opposition's job to come up with policies"

Virginia Trioli, 2009

Surely you could tell from my post I watch the ABC2 version?:rolleyes:

Denyer is a little gremlin, not a fan. Fifi is no better but, I recommend poaching Angela Tsun.

I listen to news radio instead.

I was channel surfing this morning and came across a sunday edition of Today [as if 5 days of it isn't bad enough].Now usually these morning shows have Hollywood "entertainment" [i.e latest Paris Hilton shag update/latest Jacko update....he's still dead] reporters who are more camp than a row of tents,but this show had some female Southern yokel.Her voice was soooooo irritating.

NBC Today (which Sunrise blatantly copies) is the best of the bunch.

Zarrix

Yep, the US do these kind of shows well. For some reason, in Australia, these shows are watered down to an absolute putrid point. Whether the reasons behind it are social or political is up to debate.

Honestly, people from other countries must come here, love our scenery, weather and all that, but when they turn the TV on in the morning, they must be like WTF :confused:

Natalie Barr seems like the biggest uptight bitch on television. Every time I see Sunrise she always has a look of utter contempt on her face when Kochie and Mel are spouting on about something or other.

Either way, both morning shows are horrible. The Morning Show is by far the worst, though.

it's typical of that station to do something like that. they should have stopped what his name and what her face straight after the first time they promoted it
