Overseas playing in a tournament. Nothing against Alcott but it’s good to have Crawf on the panel again.

I reckon margrook might win The ratings

How unsuprising, 3 random unenertaining campaigner randomly slapped together for a tv show. People who already hated the footy show arent watching it and the people who still liked Ed or Sam are gone aswell. Im glad its sinking now, they could make a new show with some of the talent they have at 9 and show it on another night to the TFB

 

[stabler]

Never watched the show but never understood the concept of Fev as a 'media personality'. Completely baffling to me

 

[Dixie Normous]

The show is only worth watching to perve at Neroli Meadows

Might be time for the thread to be renamed 'The Footy Show's 2019 format revealed to be shithouse'.

Which head is your favourite

 

[Korn]

Which idiot came up with this lineup of people and thought it was a good idea to have a show with them?

 

[SmAshmoto]

Just waiting for the inevitable feminist shrieking when the show is cancelled and they claim men weren't watching because they were intimidated by a woman hosting.

Completely ignoring that the show has descended into utter shite

I am mightily impressed that Hutchy knows how to save TFS.. Did so well as host.

Seems to be the same model as SEN is now. Ignore that fact that no one tunes in, perhaps they will later, sometime, hopefully before bankruptcy.

I will never understand this. She looks and sounds like Gerard Whateley. But if that’s your thing, cool, I guess.

What a sad excuse for journalism that article is. Essentially just dictating a minute of Hutchy's podcast.

I think she's very attractive, smart and sexy. Can't say I've ever beat off to Whateley.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

tuned in tonight for the first time since round 1. Thought maybe they had polished it up a bit and go into a groove. Neroli still rocking that hideous laugh. Ugh.

 

[Bombermania]

Saw a few minutes with Nathan Brown talking about the odds then all of a sudden Neroil started laughing her head off. I like her work on Foxfooty but that was just bizarre, it wasn't even clear what she was laughing at.

It's interesting to note that The Footy Show essentially came about more or less by accident, they had a panel type show for the '93 Grand Final which proved popular so they started a weekly version the following year which quickly built an audience because it was a fresh new format that no one else was doing, and we got to see the players being themselves, it came across as spontaneous and was, if anything, helped by the fact that Channel 7 refused to allow them to use any footy vision

Of course 7 then constantly tried to replicate it with stuff like 4 Quarters (i have vague memories of Sandy Roberts and a turnstile ... ) and Live and Kicking, none of which really worked because there was already a show doing it better. Fast forward a couple of decades and the old TFS is stale and dead (mainly because the players are media managed to within an inch of their life and the personality and knockabout likeability of the early days is long gone) and so The Front Bar with its simple three person panel that work well together and bounce jokes off each other, with the odd guest from yesteryear thrown in is now the way to go, and guess what? Channel 9 are trying to copy it but there's no point because there's already a show doing it.

Is there a big enough potential audience for both shows, or will only one (as history would suggest) rate well enough to survive?

Really like Neroli Meadow's bubbliness i just wish she's tone down the laugh. Not everything is laugh your guts out hilarious.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

People often laugh like that when they are nervous or have anxiety. I can see why someone who suffers from this sort of affliction would have it brought on by hosting the show in its current state and knowing most people either hate it or are praying on its downfall.

Yeah it's anxiety for sure. I think Neroli is okay as a host when not laughing. I don't think she is the problem. Watching the Front Bar again last night Andy Maher just has to keep the show moving which is all she needs to do.

It is Mick and Sam that are obviously the reason the show is a success. Both are obviously very popular commedians. Lehmo, Fev and Alcott are not even the 'B team' compared to those guys.

As mentioned above, I think there is also just not enough people interested to spread accross two AFL variety type shows. The Front Bar started small and built up over the years where as this version of the footy show was thrown straight into prime time not allowing it to grow.

 

[aCunningPlan]

The show is dead. And it’s being killed by a Before the Game rip off, who would have thought that?

 

[Burzum]

They're not even good numbers for a YouTube video.
