I only ever though that the AFL version could pump so much vile into a 1 1/2 slot.
Dosen't the rugby league one only go for 1 hour?
It wouldn't suprise me if the AFL version over took the RL version within a year or two.
The RL one goes for 1 1/2 hours. It has actually picked up enourmously over the past year or two. Given that the AFL Footy Show used to **** all over the RL one, the shows have almost swapped over in popularity.
The reason the RL show has increased in popularity is because they just get stuck straight into it and don't get too bogged down in one particular topic/ person. This allows time for certain regular 'segments' such as "Crack a fatty", "Anti ad", "No talent time", and "League of their own". Despite these things being rather crass etc, it is actually a good show to watch as a lot of the ideas are fresh and in good fun.
I think it's time for the AFL show to completely re structure the format and bring in new ideas for next season. Just on that note, what ever happened to the wheel? I used to think that was the best part of TFS.
