I used to watch stingers about 4 or 5 years ago but stopped since most of the characters which were the reason i liked the show left and got replaced, similar to Water Rats which was another good channel 9 cop show i liked.
Reading that article in that link someone gave above ^^ they made one very interesting point, that stingers beats rove by 50,000 in melbourne DESPITE Tens promotion of the show. I mean Rove gets promoted the hell out of channel 10, plus has shows such as Before The Game which promote it with the same people on it and Skithouse by 'Roving Enterprises', plus his radio show on the fox. Stingers gets barely any promotion and still beats them. Strange.
I dont watch either show now. I am fed up with TV the past few years. Has gone way down hill. 24 was a show which was excellent when it first came on now is also turning into a huge bore. Stupid reality shows, channel 7 just showing utterly stupid american sit coms despite its history of showing local shows. Friends is about to end soon and 9 are still delaying the final episodes. The simpsons have been crap for years now and i dont bother watching.. I only watch maybe 7 shows a week now (i watch more but these are the ones i make sure i watch every week). Las Vegas, Apprentice, 24, O.C, CSI, Footy Show, The Footy. Everything else. Bah.
