First time I watched it this year last night.

It was their 200th show. One would think this would be a big occasion.

The only thing it did for me was convince me that this thing should be retired, and sooner rather than later.

Kate Langbroke and Jo Stanley just suck outright. Not funny, not witty, and the dumb question/statement act wore thin in about show 2.

Is there a Logies catergory for "Person you would like to beat the living crap out of", if so, Rob Sitch would win, that guy is just something else. Sits so far back in his seat he must be about to fall backwards of it, makes stupid remarks, and laughs at nothing.

Santo relies on bizzare television or media events for his comedy contribution, or comments on stereotypical wog life, all of which we heard 10 years ago. Not funny.

Tommy G and Glenn Robins give the show some credability at least.

Being generous, the guests last night were B grade. Tony Martin may as well just be a guest panellist. The FBI guy hardly said a word over everyone else trying to be funny. Quarters was his usual self, and, to top it all off, they had the SMS king of the world, where the attention was on Jo Stanley instead.

No musical act??

What does everyone else think about the show? I say give it the arse, and bring back the "Late Show" instead.

Santo's only been on about half a dozen episodes this year.Maybe they've finally realised he's not funny and he just craps on about soccer.I think every ep he's been on this year has had a soccer player on.Is it a coincidence ?

As soon as Kate goes and drops her bundle the show will improve 100%.

At least they dumped Angela Bishops crapfest this year.

Haha! :D

The Panel's run its race.

This Jo Stanley is crap.

Kate Langbroek is a pain in the arse and all tolerance for her kitch 'from the suburbs with no education' aura was lost long ago - can someone really be that dumb and naive?

And the show is just dead boring nowadays.

It was pretty ordinary until they brought in Jo Stanley.

It's gone WAY downhill since

They may have as well had the Tony Martin bit as an advertorial, as it was nothing more then a shameless plug for his new movie.

Used to love the show back in the 1990s, but now when I tune in occasionally its to laugh at the show, not with it.

And has Steve Quartermain ever said anything insightful about any sport at all in the five years he's been on the show? His greatest contribution was to talk about the time he stood up to Jean-Claude Van Damme at a Melbourne nightclub a few years back.

every one on the panel suck big tine mainly because they are all leftwing loonies who use the show to shove leftwing propaganda down your throat. it's very prdictable, every week say how terrible the government is about the refugees, make a lame joke about howard and have like minded guest on the panel.

santo is the most annoying gibberrer on the show, he keeps playing the same 'i'm a wog schtick' all the time. so he goes on with his phoney wog accent - like he just got off the boat - he talks about soccer and worst of all, he craps on about wrestling. yes he just loves wrestling and watches it all the time because that's what wogs do!!!

after all this schtick, this pillock wants you to take him seriously when he makes a deep political statement.:p

It's obviously struggling. I think they just have to stop bringing boring, no-name guests on.
