FTA-TV Fast Forward v Full Frontal

[Port_GW]

Fast Forward by quite a considerable margin. Full Frontal was good, but it was more in the Skithouse/Comedy Inc genre, whilst Fast Forward was absolutely brilliant Australian comedy (similar to The Comedy Company).

Eric Bana (and maybe Micallief as well) was the only performer who got near the quality of those on Fast Forward.

I'd say also that theres a good chance that those voting for Full Frontal were basically too young to appreciate the quality of Fast Forward.

Look I agree, but there are plenty of Full Frontal fans voicing their opinon. Atm just 6 votes seperate the 2 on here

Particularly those who think it's crap just because of Kath and Kim.

Or maybe, because the same performers and writers were involved with both, they draw the obvious link between the two. I was around to see all of both shows runs, and I seriously think Fast Forward is the biggest pile of shyte I have ever laid eyes on. Hell, even Comedy Inc is better than FF.

You've summarised it brilliantly. I agree on all points.

Fast Forward by a country mile. Vizard was funny. Legzopena was hilarious. Every week they would come to the same conlusion to use sex to sell a product. Peter Moon should get more gigs. I loved the sketch where he was in love with this girl and she would just go on about everything being sexy in the world except him. He was so perfect for that. Moon is a legend. Magda was hilarious too. She had Pixie-Anne Wheatley, which got a bit tiresome but she played this crusty old, chain-smoking housewife, I can't remember her name, something like Beryl, and she was insanely funny. Vizard with the gay stewards with Veitch. Fast Forward was fantastic. That Kung Fu sketch is so well known.

Shaun Micallef playing Milo Kerrigan on Full Frontal was just about the only worthwhile thing. I remember him playing ping pong, it was amazing slapstick and he decides to jump the net like they do in tennis. Man, that was insane. The character of Milo Kerrigan reminds me a bit of Roy and HG but harsher.

Full Frontal with Milo Kerrigan was like watching Hamish and Andy and only waiting for Mr G. I think there was another dud comedy show that had Mr G and it was only worth watchihg for Mr G.

I miss some good Aussie comedy. Something fresh.
