Was a bit flat last night
I remember him being in a sketch on TFB a couple of years back so they obviously had a connection with him for a while and perhaps figured he'd show his funny side on the show itself but was not to be.Not really suited for a show like this, he's been so obviously nervous and not the funniest guy going around. Hard to get a smile out of him. Better suited to a more serious show.
That comes down to the guest Robert Harvey just not having the right personality for the show. Champion player, seems like a nice bloke (and never seems to age) but a bad fit for a comedy show like this.
They've had a generally good run of guests suiting the style of the show; Harvey was the first one since Malthouse/Scarlett at the start of the year that didn't work.
Funny enough theres no category for sport entertainment type showsI'd love to know whether Tony Martin would still be the Logies voice-over person if The Front Bar had been nominated for an award this year.

Should they remove the beers and pub stage too just in case it turns all the viewers into alcoholics?They should get the gambling part out of the show. But at least we get to see what a hypocrite Andy Maher is, always takes the moral high ground for mental health, domestic violence, yet there he is reading out the odds each week.

Maybe we could all just be responsible for our own actions...
...imo it would be a cop out if someone was to say they became an alcoholic due to a tv show. Seriously.
People are allowed to drink you know.You miss the point of it being featured so heavily on the show in the first place. It's to get people to drink.
...so? I'm sure they are old enough and big enough to make up their own minds

I don’t think there is blanket advertising for alcohol during the footy shows l watch. The gambling adds seem to be full on, especially on the radio. Apart from Tattslotto, l don’t gamble but the adds don’t make me rush out to try it. The cigarette advertising is a bit different. Doctors will tell you that there is no safe level of smoking but you can drink alcohol at a safe level and l would assume you can gamble at a level that doesn’t cause problems.That doesn't mean blanket advertising of harmful products should be forced on everyone who wants to watch AFL or AFL shows. We got rid of cigarette advertising for similar reasons.

I think gambling is a big issue as it’s so easy to do now. I’m involved in local footy and the young blokes are always talking about their bets etc, it seems to be a way of life for them.
