FTA-TV The Front Bar

[MJG14]

Don't know why they keep getting Lawrence Mooney back. He is awfully unfunny.

The show is missing Sam at the moment.

Moving to change the channel when Mooney is on is about as quickly as I ever move.

Always speaks well Fish, thought I’d heard all the stories, not the lightning one !!!

I know hosting the Logies is the worst gig in Australian entertainment, but it has to almost be worth it if you just never have to work again.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Lehmo is the most unfunny "personality" in media

 

[TheGoldPersons]

I can hesitantly deal with Lawrence Mooney, but Lehmo is going too far

Looking forward to seeing NicNat next week

You have to be impressed when you're even less funny than Mick Molloy, and that's saying something.

It seems the sole purpose of commercial television now is to employ the legions of unfunny Australian "comedians".

I said it on the North board, but his retirement presser was all class. Seems like a great bloke, always positive, despite all his injury setbacks, and I assume, enduring a lifetime of racism.

I've had the unfortunate experience of seeing the latter do stand up at the Comics Lounge. Just a grub, he literally looked like a homeless person on stage. His "comedy" was shite too.



As for Pang, he's back on HYBPA next Monday, so I assume he'll be back for Front Bar too, thank god.

Most punchable face too. He has the most distinctive 'Aussie' face I've ever seen, and that's not a compliment

Makes perfect sense to me. None of them are actually funny. I saw Mick Molloy a long time ago in Fitzroy and he was just awful. Was probably trying the same lines then too. They weren't funny then either.

Easiest path to fame in Australian television - be a crap comedian. It's seemingly bottomless.

 

[The Made Guy]

I saw Mick Molloy a long time ago in Fitzroy and he was just awful.

I went to that show too. From memory, the tour was called Dinner's On Ladies.

 

[Falconista]

Wish they'd stop getting current players on- they're too stilted.

Not gonna lie... I had to Google stilted. Bravo!

 

[Dogs Rule]

Molloy's humour peaked in the mid 90s and that was largely off the back of the far more talented Tony Martin. Now it's the same script, the same jokes every week (deadbeat Dad, wearing a suit to Court/Your Honour, Dinner's on etc).

I used to watch Front Bar religiously, but one night something snapped, and I decided I'd had enough of Mick Molloy. Haven't watched since.

Yeah I've gone right off him now. He's not funny, and it's tiresome how many unfunny Australian comedians (i.e. most if not all of them), have permanent TV gigs. There's no escape.

Sam's absence/holiday/victory lap after the Logies really hurt the show this season.

 

[Del208273]

For me, I stopped watching all the time last year when the 3 regulars were consistently not there.

As mentioned above, Australian comedians in general aren't that funny, so as soon as I saw Mooney, Lehmo, Cilauro (who is probably the best of a poor bunch) et.al the channel changed.

is also a PITA so any segment with him I turn to something else.

The show is pretty flat at the moment. Need new scriptwriters and to cut the guest segment short if it's not working (not funny, boring, guest is off their head) e.g. Crackers Keenan - that was an abomination and frankly an embarrassment.

 

[MJG14]

Really enjoyed Sandy Roberts.

Really enjoyed Sandy Roberts.

That clip with a sunburnt? Peter Landy was priceless.

 

[Del208273]

Great show tonight.

CEOs and Sandy Roberts were excellent chats.

Seems to work better not having ex-players at the bar IMHO.

 

[Partridge]

Really enjoyed Sandy Roberts.

Just like Peter Landy.

And the lesson continues to be ignored and/or never learned - the best commentators knew the players were the stars, and did NOT try to be the star attraction. Polar opposite to now.

Just like you have journalists who think they are the star attraction. Bigger than the game.
