    http://www.sbs.com.au/documentary/program/1061 An interesting insight into 'America' Television has been such a strong influence on our society - the English speaking society, the same with Francophones in the French speaking world, and whatever language sphere etc etc But American tv has...

    Skate/Surf/Extreme Ninja Warrior

    Does anyone here watch this show? Its an insane sport, where durability gets tested. The majority of the contestants are extreme sportsmen, a lot of the standouts on NW only weigh 60kg, which is an advantage when it comes to pulling themselves up (which they still can,and they only have 60kg...

    Live telecasts on 7mate in NSW & QLD

    I dont think its helping the AFL that much in those regions Because FNF goes live in direct opposition to 9's FNF Personally I preferred the 11pm delayed telecast in Sydney because I had the chance to go out, get drunk, come home and watch the AFL late at night with the lights and the volume...

    This is Living! Well.. not really Although I should ask- what brings these on? No doubt this is a creation of the American empire for worshipping something that is not real, or immortalising something that was just there Anyway (hypothetically) who would you dress up to be if you were to...

    TV Coverage for the neutral games of the Tri series

    I want to know what they are doing for the matches not involving Australia ie Sri Lanka and India? Im pretty sure Foxsports should get these matches, neutral matches are ratings poison on FTA! And given that theyve tightened up on the tv coverage of cricket to only involve exploits of the...

    Society & Culture Peter Hore - Did he have a valid point?

    Im not saying Im defending him or anything But if you think outside the box - admittedly he did it to the extreme. He does prove of the concept of Free speech in Australia He proved that we are entitled to an opinion, even though he made his proof directly to the subject matter in question Of...

    Test cricketers who didnt bat, bowl or do anything in a match?

    Granted the chances of that happening increases more in an ODI and a T20 because the other team didnt get enough wickets for the number 6 (who's not a bowler) to come out and bat and theres only 1 innings in the match But this guy has the most ominous Test record in that he didnt do anything in...

    Challenges/ hawkeye in tennis

    Should they reduce the number of challenges or get rid of them altogether?

    FTA-TV Once Upon a time in Cabramatta

    Its been on SBS It was flogged to death on the promos all December, to the point the everything you saw in the promo has already been seen.

    Players letting themselves go after their careers finish?
