LOL just had a flashback to Detroit, was at an outdoor concert Joey from Full House did a "stand up" segment (so did Tim Allen)- they were both ****ing woeful. Some of the worst shit ive seen- Aussies at the Comic's Lounge are better.

You must be fun at parties!

Catch up son I am on the Spazz Cat bandwagon that there is nothing good on FTA. So the tv does not have a STB installed or an aerial plugged in anymore.

ABC is a taxpayer black hole, the SBS is tbh the only decent channel and 7,9,10 are weighed down by laws that dictate they must have a set percentage of locally produced content but viewerships being down due to streaming platforms means the days of locally produced shows like seachange, water rats, blue heelers, country practice etc etc are over.

So we get left with game show saturation and reality tv spam as they are cheap to produce. Let’s face it The Block has gone on about 5 seasons too long and as a perfect illustration The Weakest Link (without the original host) returning is a horrible idea, but gets approved as again it is local, and cheap to produce in the era of reduced revenue.

The worst. My kids got into Fuller House for a while.
A reboot that was somehow worse.

I never saw the reboot - thinking it was on Stan or Netflix or one of those other streaming services so I missed it (not upset)

 

[Shell]

I think Tim Allen may have even been booed by the crowd

 

[Spazz Cat]

See this is why you shouldnt have kids.

Yep. The full house phase was a tough time.
Also a few months of Sabrina the teenage witch. Dunno how they even find these shows.

And yet there's no indication that the Kraft Walker Cheese Co had anything to do with Edward Coon or used his method of maturing cheese. If Edward Coon was actually somehow involved with the cheese company or has some impact on their product, then yeah keep the name, but there's no link so I've still no issues with the name change

That’s a flimsy justification at best.
A brand was changed because of someone’s surname.

The best part is reading Obama’s statements on immigration, and what needs to be enforced at the border. It was reasoned, sensible, and firm. Exactly what an elected leader should say. Trump said more or less the same thing, and he was a monster.

CNN staffer admits network's focus was to 'get Trump out of office,' calls its coverage 'propaganda'

A staffer for CNN spoke candidly to an undercover journalist about the political motivations the network had during the 2020 presidential election, boasting that CNN helped former President Trump lose his bid for re-election and even calling his own employer "propaganda."

Actually admitted going after Trump was pure propaganda to get rid of him. Amazing that they actually admit making most of it up, and most americans seem fine with being lied to. We are entering a dangerous time.

Admittedly, it would have been hard for the original host of the Aus Weakest Link to return - though they surely could have found a better host than Magda as she just seems too nice for that show

Dude I don't watch any of it, my TV antennae isn't even hooked up. I just find the anger amusing.

The ABC is for the most part fine though.

Haha good. Not funny.
I would of booed the f**k outta Joey from Full House.
That c**t makes me cringe.

Magda was an awful choice. She’s already copping a media bashing for her sjw views atm. She is becoming so unlikeable that hardly anyone will tune in. I can see the weakest link lasting about a month.

Yep. They get to make their Aus quota on the cheap.

Haha good. Not funny.
I would of booed the f**k outta Joey from Full House.

Have you seen how terrible the olsen twins look now. Like legit corpses. Look about 20 years older than they really are.

 

[Shell]

Trust me, Tim Allen was worse. But yeah Joey sucked too.

Dunno why they had them on, probably had some time to fill. All the music acts were amazing tho.

Nothing more awkward than watching someone do silly voices and bad impressions when it's not funny.

And they're rich, rich as Nazis.

You'd think with all that money they could afford some food.

Yeah they need to eat some meat.

Art Vandelay_ what is really shit on the ABC is The Drum.

 

[Shell]

Random q. Why did John Patton guy really retire? Was it really over some nudes. Or is he just shit.


Or did he do something else you think

 

[Spazz Cat]

Art Vandelay_ what is really sh*t on the ABC is The Drum.

Do they still play replays of Spicks and Specks from 20 years ago?

Nah he's just shit.

One day I’ll run for office on a kill off the ABC platform. You’ll see.

I’d get it up tbh. Just promise that all taxpayers receive the money saved as a new tax break at tax return time.

Law number 2: All hyphenated names are ineligible for public office. That’s just so I can white ant Hanson-Young.

Maybe rangas being rounded up and housed on norfolk island as their own colony will be law 3.

I plan to make us better, not worse.

Also fun fact. But You oughta know by Alanis Morissette is about Joey from Full House.

One day of reading the tv guide was grim reading. Really think the best program on each channel was the news bulletin.

 

[Shell]

Nah he's just sh*t.

Thought so.
