Rosehaven
Wednesday 12 October at 9:00pm (8×30’)
Rural Tasmania provides the spectacular backdrop for Rosehaven, a new comedy series created by, and starring, two of Australia’s most loved comic talents: Luke McGregor (Luke Warm Sex, Utopia) and Celia Pacquola (Utopia, The Beautiful Lie). Daniel McCallum (Luke) returns to his rural Tasmanian hometown, Rosehaven, to help his formidable mother in her real estate business. He gets a surprise when his best (city) friend Emma (Celia) turns up on the doorstep, on the run from a marriage that didn’t last the honeymoon.
I love the 2 leads, looks promising.

HBOs Westworld made its debut Sunday evening.
This is HBOs answer to its impending loss of Game of Thrones. I watched the first episode and its excellent. Apparently they have plans for this to go on for 5 seasons. Great musical score to go along with the plot line of robots in a western themed amusement park running amok and turning on the guests and their creators.

I think that Rosehaven is the second show to come out of Tasmania this year. I can't remember the last time that so many shows were set there.

This show is really good, except miss this ep if like me you hate Kathy, however even with her it might be OK.
It is usually on late at night/early am.
It is casual chat with comics in a small smokey room with more comics playing audience, but they butt in plenty.
When the guests are GOOD the show is HOT.

That looks quite interesting. It must be so hard to be professionally funny. I mean I know there are people in day to day life who come up with the one liner on the spur of the moment. But to craft something really hilarious that people will still be laughing about days later takes skill. I was watching this youtube video. It had Conan O'Brien talking to his former workmates from The Simpsons. It was like a round table discussion. They talked about many things.
Anyway one of the things they talked about was the writing process. So many people would come up to them and say how fun it must have been. Working on that show. But it wasn't fun. It was very hard. And it wasn't that loud or noisy either. For they would spend hours trying to come up with the perfect line for Marge.

I'm always amazed at the sheer number of panel shows comedy wise they have in the UK. You could probably dedicate a channel to it. I don't mind watching a bit of it now and then. Plus there can be some really clever shows sometimes. However I often find that they go for the cheap joke. Plus I often find about eighty percent of the comedians on there to be awful.
Playing a musical instrument whilst singing a silly song is not funny.

They're cheap I guess but as a UK'er I agree - they're everywhere and there are very few I watch regularly, although catching the odd one here and there is usually a passable way to spend half an hour. And in Dave there almost is a channel devoted to them.

Poms & Aussies = do panel shows, HYBPA, Gruen, Project. Past Panel etc.
USA = does talks shows instead. Their panels tend to be stupid, like The Talk, or The View,. wanky stuff.
And i love how Poms have taken the USA talk show format, & shaken, stirred and made gay and heaps more fun.
And the USA version seems to have descended into frat boy drinking games.

Do you guys get The Fall? Half way through series 3 now on UK TV and it's easily the best series so far, even though in theory they should have just left it be at the end of the second series.
So much great drama around at the moment - I'd recommend National Treasure if it reaches your screens too. It's a timely drama about a comedian accused of historic sexual crimes and one of the most watchable things I've seen in ages, mainly thanks to the excellent Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters.

I havent dug back through all the pages in here but Black Mirror had 6 excellent episodes already and has been picked up by Netflix for 6 more starting October 21. Dark satires on modern technology from reknowned Clive Brooker, all stand alone episodes on different themes. This particular one 15 Million Merit Points, deals with a futuristic world in which energy is generated by riding exercise cycles, and spend their points on their "doubles", fat people are mocked and made to dress in yellow suits...its a boring existence and the only way out of it is to appear and be rewarded by an American Idol like talent show.
These are currently all available on Youtube, this is one of the episodes ...unfortunately this one has Spanish Subtitles. This particular one stars Jessica Brown Findlay, Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey. Others have many of your favorite Game of Thrones characters in them.
