Cant seem to find any clips on YouTube atm.

Haven't seen it but everyone who watched it says it was terrible.

That being said, it seems odd that the new years eve fireworks would attract such press. It's hardly like it's a really significant event.

I only saw a couple of minutes at around 11pm and it was shocking.Lawrence Mooney was hitting on his co-host Stephanie Brantz.

Off topic but JUBJUB how did you come up with your name?

The only Jubjub I know was when my kid used to watch High 5 circa 2004-6.

Simpsons reference possibly? It's Patty or Selma's iguana's name.

Selmas pet iguana from The Simpsons

After some research, and many years later, it is 'Jup Jup'.

And I must have missed the edition of Kelli in 'RALPH'...

Who watches tv on new years eve anyway?

 

[NitroFan]

I saw a few minutes here and there and it seemed pretty s**t, but most of the complaints in that article seem pretty petty. So Richard Wilkins was compared to a block of wood? Does even he give a s**t?

That is pretty harsh actually. Blocks of wood often have a bit of character.

Dickie circa mid 1970's.

They had a puppet in their list of stars.

 

[Gus Poyet]

It was woeful.

Why a show about seeing in the New Year needs to be politicized only the bell ends at the ABC can tell us I guess.

 

[Gasometer]

Here's one clip that's popped up.

Is that a tute on how to produce crappy unfunny youtube clips?

 

[Amazing Racer]

Yes it was as bad as it gets. It was just as bad as Channel 10's efforts - even forgetting the fact the standards of the ABC should be slightly higher than Channel 10.

Hosts were no good - and one did seem drunk. And yes they even cross promoted. The only good music was Pete Murray right at the start - the wannabe Kiss tribute band were ordinary.

If you don't have enough content to fill the time between fireworks, put on something else.

 

[Gasometer]

Is that the alleged 'kiss' in Ep 4 at 12.10....

 

[NSWCROW]

Saw 22 seconds of it , Brantz's voice was worse than usual and the second i saw a puppet i was gon(e)ski

 

[Gasometer]

Puppets are cool NSWCROW

 

[Percel]

Storm in a D cup

 

[NSWCROW]

Puppets are cool NSWCROW

This puppet was cool

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Give NYE to 7 since they have heaps of cash

 

[Damon_3388]

Why on earth would anyone care?

If you're watching tele on NYE, it's leaning towards the "get a life" category (dependent upon your life situation, of course), but if you're genuinely put out by the apparent lack of quality television on NYE, then you're definitely in the "get a life" category.
