Does anyone else watch 'the fat'?

[jefffff34]

I was just wondering if anyone else watches "The Fat". It is a top show on ABC 9.30pm mondays. It is funny and serious like The Panel but devoted more on sport. Sam Kekovich is a pissa!

I used to watch it until I remembered that I hate rugby, Tony Squires and no AFL besides Sydney and a performing Melbourne side.

It was funny to see that all of Wil Anderson's jokes were aimed at (a) Shane Warne and (b) Dale Lewis.

Sometimes a funny show, and I wish I could talk at the same speed as Sam Kekovich without stuffing up!!

Did you notice that Wil Anderson's nails were painted black? Is he some sort of try-hard gothic or something? As Mario Fenech would say..."What's doin?"

 

[kristin5]

Yeah, I watch it - it's usually pretty funny (though last night wasn't one of the best). The first episode for this season, the one which had Pat Rafter and Michael Bevan on, was hysterical.

I did notice Will Anderson's nails - at first I thought they were all bruised!

 

[The Doctor]

compulsory viewing for me.

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

missed it last night unfortunately

any sh*t hit the fan over Dale Lewis ?

cheers

Never miss an episode.

If only Slamming Sam could play as fast as he talked, we may have won a couple more premierships.

Always watch it,better now it goes for an hour. Kerry O`keefe,when he is on is a sensation.

Wil Anderson was on fire last night. It seemed to me that Slat's wasn't that happy with all his jokes, but didn't look half as bemused with Anderson as Aaron baddeley was with Wilko.

Yeah I watch it. I skipped over to Sex and the City when they had that soccer guy on but other than that, I enjoy the show a lot.

 

[McCartney5]

Try to watch it as much as I can, but playing basketball on monday nights makes it hard

Last week Steven Bradbury looked rather annoyed at the jokes that were made about his gold medal.

Also play basketball Monday nights, but when Tamsyn Lewis or Kerry O'Keefe are on I often tape it

True enough......but occasionally they have Kouta on or somebody....I hope Dale is not going to be the AFL rep......Dr Turf is funnier.
YOu know I'm right.


PS:I tape Sex & the City and FF thru the quantities of ads on 9.

Also Last weeks West Wing was the best written thing I've seen on the tube for awhile (and that includes 6' Under)

It's a good show, but I think that the hour long format is a bit padded out, when it was half an hour long, it was great but it's still the best thing on monday nights.

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

45 minutes would have been absolutely ideal but for some strange reason TV producers hate 45 minute shows

Dunno why really ?

I agree with Wade - an hour is too padded out and the show loses some of its edge accordingly.

However the old half hour show was too frenetic and they always ran out of time at the end.

45 - 50 minutes would have been ideal.

cheers

The ABC has a 45 minute allotment for 4 Corners, so why can't they have something like that for "the Fat", but regardless it's still a grouse show.
