Only 15 minutes in, but it seems like a decent show.

Not usually a fan of Aussie talk/sketch shows, but this one seems quite good, so far.

I am still yet to form an opinion. Some of the jokes were funny but others died a terrible death. At least it is 10 times better than Skithouse.

A pathetic show, trys to borrow everything from all the other networks comedy show. I'd expect it to be cut soon.

I found the part where they got people to draw the Mona Lisa was pretty amusing, and some of the jokes were funny.........not sure yet, I'll give it another week before I make up my mind.

The Jesus skit was funny.

OK, the first show was reasonably good, but it has been all downhill since then.

I thought the show last week really struggled, certianly for laughs anyway, seemed a clear cut case of using all the top shelf material in the first week, and left with the dregs to dish out second time around.

The few bits of the Good Friday Appeal either featured them on the panel, or hosting the panel.

Now they just seem like a couple of ****ers, and I won't be watching the show again.

Hmmmmm well I watched it again tonight, and some parts were pretty funny (like the teacher getting his students ready for the Rock Eisteddfod) but most of it just fell flat.

Agree. The one thing saving it is that Channel 10's Newlyweds has no one watching it so in comparison they are doing alright. IF and when the Panel returns, they will get killed in that slot.

I still rate it a 5/10.

Yeah you're right, it's amusing but certainly not strong enough to beat a show as popular as the Panel! And let's face it, if the best thing we can say about it is it's more popular than Newlyweds, that's not really saying much.

I watched these guys (and a few others who seem to have been given the arse) old show, Radio Karate, on Channel 31 and it was bloody funny. This version seems to have some gold scattered through (Mr. G, Fast Five etc.) but a fair few of the sketches do fall flat (what the hell was that school girl assassin ****?), and I'm sure if the hosts had total control the show would be a lot better. As it is I think it's a show capable of putting together half an hour of solid laughs, rather than padding it out with another half hour of filler.

Say it ain't so.

Source? Any confirmation of this?

I would like to know the answer to this as well.
Anyone got any firm info??

There is no mention of the show on the CH10 website which is a bad sign.

yeah, but their show wasn't all that great either...(well, not as good as Fantasy World Cup anyway).
But to be fair to DB and FS, Unplanned was just a side project for them that they didn't take seriously at all - remember the opening titles? A whole load of people singing "it'll never work" before the two lads themselves end off with "...and never will we again!"

As you'd know, Frank has his own talkshow, David has/had his own sitcom, they have Fantasy Football and so on and so on... Merrick and Rosso on the other hand are using the Unplanned vehicle as their primary break into TV, and it's just poor.
