No I think you are thinking of Todd somebody - just wears t-shirts.

Charlie is Charlie Pickering the male host and gen x on TBYG
 
I like the 7pm project too, anybody could do Carrie's job, Georgie (sp) showed that last night, just read out the headlines and add a few comments, leave the rest up to the other panelists. I'm enjoying the guest panelists too, a nice diverse mix. and Kitty is bloody funny.

I think Wil Anderson does the Gruen Transfer, that's a good show, really enjoyable.
 
Beer ads piss me off...........

Is there some unwitten rule in the universe that they have to be bloody annoying and stupid.......

The Hahn ones..... With the guy talking to his friend's sister... annoying .

The West End ad about beer karma.. Typical Adelaide shit. The end of the ad they whinge about the Victorians taking the grand prix..... Dickheads. No wonder SA is a backwater they keep whinging. SA government all but gave it away dickheads....

Sorry had to rant......... Phew.
 
nah i like it too, it just costs us 50 million a year, and most people cant justify spending that much...
 
Well, obviously the people who live nearby don't like it, and have been very active against it since the start.
I personally live over 20km from the racetrack, so it doesn't bother me at all. :)

And it isn't getting the crowds it used to. The novelty has worn off. (And there's the realisation that the GP is, actually, pretty boring). It's not making a profit.
 
I hate the ****ing GP. Work in St Kilda, and we all groan when that freakin horrid circus somes to town.

The horrid electric 'mosquito' noise all day...............for days, and all the rev heads everywhere, ugh. And those stupid planes and choppers buzzing everywhere.
And then I couldn't believe I could hear those damn mozzies miles away at home on the race day.
I won tickets last year and flogged them for $90.
 
Why does the deal or no deal ad TELL us some random women is going to win $200k (and show us what she looks like)?

Isn't the suspense of "will she" / "won't she" part of the show's appeal?

The only thing they left a secret is the day it is airing. "Some time this week" apparently.

Maybe they're losing viewers...... I don't know what to though.. 5.30pm there's not a lot on offer on TV.


I don't like that.... I dont' even care much for Eddie's show but that is a little more tolerable... For that at least you have to think and use general knowledge..

What I do detest is the after school quiz shows for kids....... Fun killers .
 
The 3D Trial Station!
Woo hoo!

I've been experimenting with it. Trying to watch it like you look at the old "Magic Eye" pictures.
You sit close to your TV. How close? Well I haven't quite got that right yet. Then you adjust your eye focus... try to stare into Infinity, rather than at the TV's screen. And if you get it all just right, you'll see a third image between the left and right ones. And it's in 3D! But the moment you directly look at it, it disappears.

Of course you can get a splitting headache trying out this stuff.

I'll experiment some more using a black piece of paper to separate the images more, or perhaps 2 toilet rolls sticky taped into binoculars.
 
^^ LOL Karaoke - make sure you post us a pic of your special home brand binoculars!!

Winning 200,000 is a ratings grabber, just like winning a million was a ratings grabber for Millionaire. by not telling us what day it airs they want us to tune in everynight of the week in case we miss it. it will probably be on friday to maximise this effect.

Yes its losing to Millionaire Hotseat. mostly because you actually have to have a brain to do well on the show, instead of it being completly luck. and the kids shows arent aimed at you. ur not meant to like them.
 
M.

LOL maybe the kids like them :D;)

We no longer have the GP because Victoria stole it :D however they have replaced it with the Clipsal which is some other kind of cars going around and around a race track. The track is the exact same one that they used for the GP and runs along by my work. On Clipsal weekend it is like being in Beirut, overhead there are multiple helicopters hovering around making helicopter noises all day. The Airforce Jets zoom through the sky looking awesome but making enought noise to wake the dead and the Red Arrows add to the whole feeling of chaos. Add to this the noise of the cars and well it is noisy :D

The whole thing tips the patients up and feeds into much of their paranoid ideation:eek: we end up having to hand out extra PRN medication all weekend to settle them.

But some of them used to have good questions . I kind of do like Jeopardy as some of the questions would suit both kids and adults. Especially the science ones...

Pyramid was an interesting idea...

I think some of these could translate well to adults ... With a bit of tweaking here and there. There used to be the grown ups versio of Jeopardy on but that vanished many moons ago.
