I don't think I've ever been addicted to an Australian TV show.
If it wasn't for the football, cricket and soccer on SBS, I could easily go without a TV.
Every show that is popular in this country is either cringe worthy, catered towards women or just stands out because of the low quality of our TV shows. Sometimes it's all three.
Take now for instance. Every night at around 7pm, I'll sit down and watch TV with my folks while eating dinner. Every night it's the same old rubbish, The Block for a few months then MKR and now The Voice. Then you've got rubbish like Offspring and House Husbands that is considered "drama" and "quality" TV.
Are many Australians just too silly and don't realise that there's a whole different world of TV out there, waiting for them? Maybe if they realised and started to take their business to Foxtel for US and UK cable shows or just online via illegal and legal methods, we'd end up with some actual quality TV.
Many Australians in their 40s-60s and those who aren't tech savvy seem to accept the way things are advertised, given to us etc in this country and I think it's the reason why we're stuck with a nightly lineup of The Block, The Voice, The Biggest Loser, re-runs of Two and a Half Men and so on.
