the tee vee thread

yeah, gotta hang tight til shameless is back on...

Superb series!
I am extremely angry that there is no more
 

Stupid HBO
 

I actually got stuck into this over the long weekend. Was well impressed!!!

Not a bad thing to say about it.

I was reading that it was one of, if not, the most expensive TV series ever made due to the fact they constructed the Aventine and other elaborate Roman area sets exclusively for the production. It shows though, the sets are fantastic and I don't think I have seen an episode where sets vs. cgi is noticeable.

Top notch. the Verinus/Pollo story is classic. Pollo is a champion character. There's part of an episode in a gladiator setting later which the events of were a highlight of the series for me!

did anyone see the snl special with jeremy piven? so disappointed with it, don't think i laughed once. this weeks should be good its got that jonah guy from superbad. he was on conan the other night and was a funny dude.

Gordon ramsey is onto tonight

FUCK YEH!

Kitchen nightmares is wicked!

picked up OZ Season 4 today.

16 episodes. 16 hours. 6 discs.

 

OooOooh Kitchen Nightmares is GOOOD tonight! 

I know! isnt it great how good triumphs evil kitchen styles! Gordie tells it how it is!

I am hanging for Thursday night! Gordie is my new hero. I am seriously going to research what restaurants he runs and go there in my travels!

Did any of the Foxtel kru see The Lost Room???
Was a great little 3 part mini series... great that is until the last 10 mins 

haha Graham told Reubs to watch it, so Reubs made me!

I only saw the last few episodes and thought it was kinda B grade. I liked the concept though.

Yeh the end had be cringing

Kitchen Nightmares is on!!!!

Fucking love Gordon Ramsay.

Fuck yes! He is a champion!

Oh yesss.. thank you so much for reminding me Josh!

*edit* oh I love that show so much! Loved the one last week with that tripper Sebastien who wanted to open his own franchise on his wife's money.

Simon has converted me into a Soprano's addict! lovin it

he was such a wanker.


i wish i could convert ali into a soprano's addict. one of my favourite ever shows, and i don't ever get to see it.

 I basically had to hold Sal down and pin her eyes open for the first 2 or 3 eps. You HAVE to see it from the start otherwise nothing makes sense, cos most of the time what you see on screen isnt really what's happening. It's all about sub-plot.

 Funny that Weez still maintains that nothing ever happens in the show.

 Even my parents love it.

 Greatest. Show. Ever. Sopranos = biggest win eva.

 

 

Same mate. The only reason Mary ended up getting into it is because I have watched the lot 3 times.
 

 

Gordon Ramsey is a serious legend.

I love watching Kitchen Nightmares Tuesday and Thursday nights! I get so excited when the show comes on! Its the best!

reckon i'm going to have to invest in some rope.

I liked the show when it was done in his kitchen and he would go postal on all his staff. He has calmed down alot since then.

Rope can be a useful tool for getting girlfriends to do lots of things they think they don't want to...



Yeah that was way better. And Hells Kitchen was great too:

 

[video: www.youtube.com]

"I'll get you your pumpkin, and I'm gonna ram it right up your fucking ass. Now, would you like it whole or diced?"

 

I love, love, love, love the Sopranos. I can't wait to buy that shit on DVD.

Kitchen nightmares on tonight folks!

Do it for the team get  into it bitches!

*ponders*

 :lol:I just realised its Monday today.. not Tuesday!

image not archived: KungFU.jpg


Watching season 1 of Kung Fu at the moment

792 minutes
15 episodes

I used to love this when it was on TV

Haha... I used to watch it a bit back in the day.
Reckon it'd be pretty average to sit through it again these days.

How old does he look these days!!! Musta had a hard life.

pretty sure a remake of kung fu will be appearing in movie form in the not too distant future...

kung fu woulda been better if it starred bruce lee, like it was originally meant to!!!!

The I Love New York reunion show was gold!!

Mr Boston rockin up with the chick who spat on New York in Flava of Love

and Tango who won it lookin back over all the bitchy shit New york said about him and his mum and ditchin her sucked in!

I think I need to see this show. She made her own show?

yup and there's a sequel!

oh lordy!

**sploodge**

The Moment of Truth! OMG, this show is insane

I'm squealing out loud!

Oh yes, that show is out of control! Can't believe people go on it!

But on Ch 10 Bondi Rescue is really good tonight

of course! i always wondered why my housemate likes that show. i thought it was just cos it's on Channel 10.

I know I was flicking to and fro! Holy crap those bondi boys are sex on legs!

Holy moses ewww wee hot patooties

That girl on moment of truth was stoopid! Loved it though.. every minute. There is far too many ads in that show though drives ya nuts

I dont get why people would even go on that show if they have secrets..??!!?? Dumb!

I would only go on that show if I was squeeky clean. 

What a scream!!

She admits to being in love with her ex on her wedding day, cheating on her husband AND that she thinks she should be married to her ex and NOT her husband... AND THEN she loses all the money

EXCELLENT!

I love this show and can't wait to watch more of it!!

*squeals*

I usually like to watch the Bondi show, but I just had to watch Moment of Truth tonight.

ahh yeah this stuff was doing the rounds on youtube recently... fucking owned!

Even the host was telling her it was getting worse AND kept reminding her that she could stop at any time...



Hmm mebbe I will go look at youtube for more Moment of Truth awesomeness.

season 4 of hells kitchen/kitchen nightmares has just kicked off

I turned the tv on and my mum was over. I said "oh I think this is the show where some girl fucked her marriage and her life for money, then lost it all because she thought she was a good person". You should have seen me when I realised I was watching that exact episode! I was flipping the fuck out with excitement!

 

My dad called just as it started and I thought it was going to be a short call, but then he started rambling on and all I was thinking was 'hurry up and stop talking before they get to the good questions' HAHAHA!

I watched Underbelly for the first time last night. I didn't think it was that great. Everyone in it is really ugly.

Oi, I tell ya what. That Dee.... I have seriously been analysing her boobs

Last night they were like a perfect round silicon implant just sitting on her chest!

They are definately fake for sure

 

She wasnt in the show much but just enough for me to determine they were fake

Saw the real CSI Miami a cpl nights ago....

Right across the road from the pub we were drinking at, bout 5 cop cars, ambulance, firetruck, CSI unit, heaps of D's, and the whole corner roped off with that yellow crime scene tape.

They took the tape away b4 they even finished cleaning up, so we went for a walk....big trail of blood for almost a block, with a big pool at the end...apparently someone was stabbed. Hope they got the dude that did it! Way too close for comfort!

Who needs TV

it's never going to be good if you watch it for the first time 7 episode's in.

next week looks like an awesome episode! back to the basics. drugs and murder and the like.

Mebbe

It just seems a bit silly. The sex scene last night with that guy (I can't remember his name) and his veins are about to pop on his face... ugh, it was so gross and I lol'd and then puked in my mouth a little.

i do agree though. the sex scenes are a bit much.

the whole love storyline they put in the show is a bit shit if you ask me. the rest of it is awesome though.

alex dimitriades looks like he's going to be a lively character.

yeh the acting is a bit suss thats for sure

That Mario dude has the worst Italian accent! really annoyed me that did.

Yeh the show isnt great but strangely enough I am drawn to it...

Dear Gordon Ramsey,

Could you please come and get fucked up with the A-Team one weekend. I have a feeling you would be the most entertaining cunt ever on a weekend long bender.

Thanks.

First time I have watched his show, and I have to say I am thoroughly entertained

  he sure would pull a few of us straight back into line, wouldn't he?! Reassign all our "roles" 

Jesus, could you imagine Ramsey & M squaring off late into day three?

That would be an argument to behold.

I must admit lasts nights episode compared to all of the rest of them wasnt as good. Some of the earlier shows were fucking tops. Morgans wasnt as dingy as some of the other restaurants he has had on his show

Still was an awesome episode though! That blonde chic was hanging for it! Calm down on the white eyeshadow please.

I love how Gordie has started taking off his shirt in front of the camera to get changed into his chef's gear!

Yum! Every woman loves a ruff and ready bastard

 

hes such a brute 

OMG new south park has the lulz!

butters singing the what what in the butt song gold!

and all the other youtube classics like dramatic prairie dog and star wars kid

I really think it is worthwhile that Gordon Ramsey has his own thread on here

Really though

which episode is that? i wanna download it!!! hahah!

check rlslog or eztv - the latest one from a couple nights ago. 1104 i think?

ooh ok, thanks!

POP superstar Michael Jackson and his family are set to star in a reality TV show that will follow their attempts to fit into a small English fishing village.

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,26278,23482743-10388,00.html

The family will move into a rented five-bedroom holiday home in the quaint town of Appledore, near Barnstaple, in May, for the hour-long Channel 4 documentary which will capture their every move.

According to BANG Showbiz, Tito, who is a judge on BBC 1 talent show Just The Two Of Us will be permanently based at the property.

His troubled sibling Michael, sister Janet, brother Jermaine and parents Joseph and Katherine will fly in for visits.

my mistake - it is 1204 you need to look for!

thanks khem!

ok massive, i have a hugggeeeee favour to ask! would anyone be able to DIGITALLY record channel ten tomorrow, at 4pm??? I need a copy of the show...

YES its my termites n mineral exploration episode, gonna be embarassing! I'd record it myself, but cant get my digital tuner card to pick anything up

Hey has anyone seem Man vs Wild on Fox?

That is seriously some good shit mateys

does it have to be digital?  i can tape it on my vcr?

ooh it'd be nice if it were digital, cause we want to upload it to uni...if you don't mind taping it for me tho, that;d be great!

grrr cant believe the tuner wont work here

well i'll tape it on the vcr, just in case no one can do it digitally!

thanks babe!

Flight of the Conchords - Absolute gold!

Nice pick Josh

 

Haha I was telling Mustafa about it tonight, spreading the word 

Nice. I've been on a mission ever since I saw it to spread the word so it's good to hear others are doing the same.

Episode 4 is my fave atm although this is constantly changing.

Ep 4 is just starting... woohoo

"Yoko"
"Ono, I just said it again."

GOLD!

I hope everyone is watching Totally Wild - Our little Anna Chica will be on shortly! 

This better be worth missing It's Academic for otherwise there will be hell to pay!

 

I'm tuned in!

Yay for Anna!! 

Hahahaha thanks guys!

Noddy, I hope you weren;t disappointed, you do realise TW is FOR kids, not ABOUT kids

Oh I missed it?! Are you only on once?

yeah just this arvo

Hi 5 babe!

"Girls gone totally wild!"

 

cool show on abc2 about homeless people atm.

Been flicking between that and Gordon Ramsay.

Kinda pissed that these homeless cunts can get better drugs than me but.

that was really fucking interesting, it was good to see some of them getting their lives back on track by moving into their own homes and getting off the drugs...sad to see some of them deteriorate like that though, especially that Haley chick, $600 worth of herion a day!! farking suprised she's still alive...but yeah, Paul Moulds is a saint, the kind of guy that will go straight to heaven...

did anyone catch Enough Rope on monday? it was a mental health special, and was also really interesting...

she's a lawyer though. she can afford it.

huh? maybe i missed that bit, maybe you are taking the piss. she lived on the streets. yeah that paul dude is a saint. the old guy (can't remember his name) was fucking gold, whinging about shit and trying to move the trailer 

edit - just got it 

you're a bloody clown tim. you know that?

i have many blonde moments, trust me 

like the time we got dominos at work, i said "why are there dice on the box, and why does it add up to 3?" everyone pissed themselves and told me that they were dominos  not dice

man i could go on and on and on..

i believe you may have outdone me with the blonde moments timboh bimboh 

serious case of bull right there.

 

NEEEEVVVERR!!!!!!! 

hmmm starting to regret admitting my blonde moments 

for all you 30 rock fans season 2 ep 11 is up on ezytv

and i thought i was the only one with a crush on Gordon. my cup of tea. mmm...

anyone got a copy of the ABC2 program on homelessness by any chance? any chance at all?

  @ "Yum! Every woman loves a ruff and ready bastard"

haha, some of the shit I post, where do I come up with it 

 

Love Me If You Dare is on SBS this weekend. One of the best French films ever IMO!

i caught sensing murder late last night after workies, did anyone catch it? freaky!! the grass blade moving around like crazy as psychic was led to the scene of the murder 

yeah i watched that!!  i like that show!!
pretty crazy shit!

 New season of Rob & Big on MTV has been hilarious so far.

i missed it!!! apparently its awesome, i will have to track it down. oog i have almost finished watching season 2 of big love

yay a new show on sbs...sounds pretty cool...

Funland 10 pm sbs monday 21st april
Funland is a six-part disturbingly funny series and resulted from the collaboration between BAFTA award-winning East Enders writer, Simon Ashdown, and Jeremy Dyson, multi-award-winning writer of The League of Gentlemen. Set in Blackpool over one long weekend, Funland plunges you into the black heart of the resort town, bringing the saucy seaside postcard screaming into the twenty-first century. Funland is a mysterious journey where nothing is quite what it seems. Carter Krantz arrives in Blackpool to avenge the death of his mother. (From the UK, in English) (Drama Series) (Part 1) (Rpt) MA (L,S,A) CC WS

yeah i don't mind that.

oh jesus that is my favouritest show EVER! I am in stitches from beginning to end - each episode.

Right this moment, I'm watching Breaking up With Shannen Doherrty i think its a rerun of an older series cuz its on ITV2 here (the home of re runs! Seriously hot shit man:


what i've seen so far is pretty hot, possibly even hotter than cheaters!!!! Seriously, she is such a fucking BITCHMOLE and to see her shoot shitty boyfriends into a squillion low self esteem pieces is super rad!

that sounds awesome!! shannon rocks!

Oh... I HAVE to see THIS!

no, u have to see this...

from dlisted.com...
image not archived: julywillbemagic1.jpg
Some dumb bitch better not be playing a bad joke on all of us. This is not a laughing matter, because my soul needs this to happen. A Wikipedia page has gone up for a new Vh1 show called "I Love Money." The show is supposed to debut this July. It's a spin-off featuring the skanks, whores and douches from "Flavor of Love," "I Love New York" and "Rock of Love."

    This co-ed battle between reality stars will throw contestants from each of those shows in a mansion in Huatulco, Mexico and have them battle each other. Similar to MTV's Real World/Road Rules Challenge, these reality show stars will be fighting physically and mentally to take home $100,000. Production started in early February, 2008, and is wrapping up in March.

They had to film in Mexico, because you can get a Valtrex there without a prescription. The US Center for Disease Control also banned the producers from bringing all these disease-ridden skanks together in one house in the US. That scenario has the makings of a Super-STD!

This is the supposed cast:

Host: LaLa

Pumkin (Flavor of Love, Season 1)
Hoopz (Flavor of Love, Season 1)
Toasteee (Flavor of Love, 2)
Nibblz (Flavor of Love, Season 2)
Bootz (Flavor of Love, Season 2)
Sinceer (Flavor of Love, Season 3)
Thing 1 (Flavor of Love, Season 3)
Thing 2 (Flavor of Love, Season 3)
Chance (I Love New York, Season 1)
Real (I Love New York, Season 1)
Heat (I Love New York, Season 1)
12 Pack (I Love New York, Season 1)
Whiteboy (I Love New York, Season 1)
The Entertainer (I Love New York, Season 2)
Midget Mac (I Love New York, Season 2)
Heather (Rock of Love, Season 1)
Brandi C. (Rock of Love, Season 1)
Destiney (Rock of Love, Season 2)
Megan (Rock of Love, Season 2)
Kristy Joe (Rock of Love, Season 2)

This is the greatest cast ever assembled for a television event. Bootz, Heather and Pumkin in one room? I can already smell the delicious aroma of whore blood, weave glue and sperm spit.

breaking up with shannon doherty was nowhere near as good as cheaters!

perfect show for her tho, being the sour faced mole bitch that she is.

Is it just me of does the guy (or is girl hmmm) on the right look like the midget version of 50 cent?

 

30 rock. oh my god i fucking love this show. ep 13 season 2 is gold!

Just been watching New Order live in New York on ABC Digital. Damn they're looking old now and Bernard is as bad a singer as ever, but when they play all the New Order classics and a heap of old Joy Division tracks you let it slide.

Had kind of forgotten how important the music they have written was. Amazing.

there is a cuntloada Breaking up With Shannen on youtube

ooh have to hit up youtube then!

and new order live in concert eh, will have to checkit.

Cheaters is on tonight, yeah!

Holy moly, I'm watching Millionaire Makers and I am SO buying lottery tickets now. I want to be freakin' rich!!

Fuck being rich. The only thing I'd do if I was rich is move to the country and buy heaps of records.

Fuck being rich!?!?!?!

Money buys happiness. Oh yes, siree.

Bah Humbug.

30 Rock about to start!

I thought that's what Griff is?

easily my fav show atm...download it mate, well worth the megs

Yes, Kurko.

I just watched some on jewtube, pretty funny, but it's no cheaters. I've never heard of Shannen getting stabbed either = fail.

Cheaters RULES.

Watched Gordon Ramsey last night

I seriously think that episode was letting the team down a bit

Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen looks fucking awesome...basically him going insane at a bunch of stupid fat American chefs can't wait...

I'm not quite sure when it comes on tele though, the ad said Wednesday 9:30pm, but my tv guide says something else is on...so maybe its next week

indiana jones is on 7 tonite! and hot tipoff from spacey, watch sbs at 8pm to hear about what our army reserve heroes have been involved in, over at the Solomon Islands

Also for anyone who's interested, although i think Indiana Jones will take priority for most people, SBS is showing The Eye 2 at 10:30 tonight...i really enjoyed the first one so I'll be checking this out, although it probably won't be as good...

japanese one? i havent seen the first! dammit.

indy starts at 830, should be over by 1030 or so

I think its Chinese actually. The first is pretty cool, i reviewed it a few months ago on here, somehow i had seen it a few weeks before i found out it was coming out as an American remake so weird... and i don't even need to see the Alba version to know that the Chinese one is 10 times better, they just have a way of making films seem so much more realistic, i'm not quite sure what it is

Asian horror flicks are so much more scary than their stupid American counterparts with their beautiful actresses and jocky douchebag heroes...

my 2 cents..

coolies. looks good, i need to see it, just like i need to see Ju Doh (the grudge) - korean films rock!

I have The Grudge on DVD babe

Hell's Kitchen is on NOW!

I've seen this ep....

Intense.....

Anyone been watching "Canal Road"?

I don't mind it.

Holy crap, I'd forgotten how scary Ramsey really is!!


I'm watching this right now and feeling a little creeped out already. Between this and reading American Psycho before bed, I just may not sleep tonight

I have ALL Hell's Kitchens, US series and UK series,  on my spare HDD, along with Kitchen Nightmares and some other series.

Obsessed much?

I'd say so.

yay i will ahve to borrow it from ya, lexy! The Grudge, that is

I am watching the funniest 70s soapie drama from oz, its on on 7 i think! its called Young Ramsay..classic!

Yes, of course sweets!

Well, The Eye 2 was certainly very creepy. Thankfully I'm not having major wiggins though.

cool show on fox atm called intervention. all about druggies. this guy heated up a glass tube pretty fucking hot and snorted a line of meth and blew out smoke never heard of that one before and no i don't live under a rock 

 Love this show.

 The Heroin ones are awesome

Big ups channel 10 for reminding me just how awesome Revenge of the Sith was. Up there with the best of the Star Wars.

So dark and tied everything together so fucking well.

joking much??? natalie portman and her fucking crying, her pregnancy bump getting bigger n smaller the whole time...haydn christensen defintiely peaked with his surly emo performance in attack of the clones, i was so over his emo-ness by the end of the film i LAUGHED when he caught on fire after obi-wan cut off anakin's legs.

it was pretty damn funny..

that being said, i DO like the film, but it just wasn't QUITE good enough to be awesome

Not joking at all. It is an excellent film in terms of the Star Wars franchise. Acting really plays no part in any of them so that side of things doesn't come into any review.

Storyline though it is easily up there as one of, if not the best of the 6 films.

no if u disregard acting, it IS a great storyline. BUT i dont think it has the personality or style of Empire Strikes Back, or even the original star wars.

ALSO what gets me at the end of Revenge of the Sith...It takes em THIRTY YEARS to build the original death star, but only 1 year to make the second one featured in Return of the Jedi??!!!

Watched the new Jerry Springer show last night - Nothing But The Truth. They had some guy hooked up to a polygraph and asked him in front of his wife if he had ever paid for sex while on an overseas holiday. He answered yes and she was just like "well he goes to Amsterdam every year..." and barely batted an eye lid!

Don't tell me you're one of those people who look into such details with the Star Wars movies.....

You could pick every single one of them apart if that was the case. They are kids movies at the end of the day and thats all they ever have been. People take them way too seriously sometimes and let that ruin what they actually are.

yeah and the chick that throws up in zip lock bags and leaves them in her cupboard for an entire week till she can take them to a dumpster

oh yeah i know that noddy. It IS pretty funny tho. Lucas really tried too hard to get people excited bout em all. I DO appreciate the attention to detail that would tie the films together better, instead of being so lumpy...I mean, the films have made him SOOOO much money, and he loves making a point about how he is serviing the fans, and tying together books and graphic novels etc...so why do such lame things as not tying stuff together properly???

Anyways!

Anyone catch Louis Theroux last nite?? NUTS! His doco series is SOOO awesome, last nite he was hanging out with the God Hates Fags loonies in the USA...Checkit:

I think its on every week at 11 or 12 on channel 7...What a time slot! He deserves better than that.

[video: www.youtube.com]

Easy the engineering design work would have been a bitch, they just pulled the plans off the shelf the second time around.  The Empire have a damn good procurement team tho 

they prob had a few workers strikes to content with also, until they replaced em with mind-controlled clones

reminds me of Randall talking to Dante in the original clerks

[video: www.youtube.com]

fucking awesome movie..

yeah! classic

Anyone watching Insight?

Very interesting!

insight rocks! its about the 'working poor' isnt it? disgraceful!

Yep, it was good. I like Insight!

For the Foxtel kru, I recommend checking out John From Cincinnati.

A quirky comedy/sci fi/drama from the makers of Deadwood.

Another good tv series apparently is Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, meant to be very dark and weird! and stars danny devito, woo!

[video: www.youtube.com]

apparently its on channel 7?? i will have to look for it, late nite tv rules!

I caught an episode of that where De Vito took acid and got locked in a toilet cubicle, he also spiked someone else's drink with acid and he was seeing shit. Needless to say it was a fucking gold episode... havent seen much more of it tho.

I think I saw some of that... De Vito runs a pub with his kids or something.
Looked alright. Now I know what it's called I might have to check the IQ n record some.

aweeessssssssssssommmeee!!! i think some more downloading is in order!

gosh there are so many good shows, freaks n geeks, arrested development, curb your enthusiasm, and now this!

If anyone cares or has forgotten, Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom is now on seven...

Nice, they had Raiders on here last weekend...

yeah that had it on here last wednesday as well....probably airing the trilogy worldwide around this time to amp anticipation for the new one

Used to be awesome watching that baked a few years ago when it was on 9 at about midnight....I grabbed the entire series torrent last year and watched them all...gold, gold, gold!

I wonder if it would have lost it's appeal if it continued for more than one season, there was an interesting end to the season which could have progressed nicely...

ooh yeah thats it!

bigups the mawson doco on abc just now, turns out the dr tingay who examines the dudes re-enacting the trek is my friend's brother!!

big up the abc doco's last night in general.

the mawson one was pretty good, but the compass one on alternative medicine was bloody great. pretty much summed up that all it is at best is a placebo. not such a bad thing (as long as people feel better), but it also went on to show that people's unbacked beliefs and how easy it is to become qualified in those fields was ridiculous in comparison to an actual scientist or doctor. also showed how people are not listening to science anymore and following these alternative methods (i.e. parents not giving their kids mmr inoculations anymore).

some of the people that were knowledgeable in these alternative medicines were absolutely ridiculous. they had no proof, yet could not get their head around the scientific standards that the interviewer was trying to explain should be met. it was all well you might not believe that, but i do, type rubbish. his response was always, i don't have to believe it, science has tested it again and again and again whereas you haven't had one study carried out.

these alternative medicines are heavily funded by the british government too, meaning tax payers are forking out for them every week. i hope to god australia isn't following them too far on it.

btw. anyone who is into homeopathy is a clown!

Richard Dawkins has been doing some great work lately. I think his basic point that it is alternative because it hasn't been proven says everything. All medicine is alternative, until subjected to rigorous testing, proving successful, and then becoming mainstream.

I want to kill Deepak Chopra as well. "Science is arrogant, it thinks it has all the answers". Bullshit, all science says is that for the innumerable things it can't answer it will only try to answer through rigorous testing and peer review, and if it can't answer certain things through testing then there is no acceptable answer for that question yet.

I loved that doctor of homeopathy as well, who basically told Richard that it made no sense to him either that water could heal through molecular memory. You could see the pain on his face sometimes as he resigned himself to the fact that this people would rather remain ignorant of fact.

His book and documentaries railing against religion are worth checking out as well.

might have to look out for those books then.

really enjoyed the way he went about that doco last night.

yeah, that deepak chopra guy was a wanker. i can't believe he asks $75000 a lecture about the lies he spins.

richard dawkins is pretty nutso aggressive in his viewpoint, but i think the show really does highlight how much 'belief' dictates our daily lives. I must admit, I like to think that 'belief' has a vital role in our lives, i mean as much as we hate to admit it, how well-proven is it that placebos are often better than taking some drug? cause if a person BELIEVES it will help them, it may well. i am not saying that we shouldnt take drugs or whatever instead of the alternative medicines, but the power of positive thinking shouldnt be underestimated, even in medical situations. in daily life, we really should try to be more positive anyways.

i really do recommend tuning into compass on abc sunday nites, they have some great docos!

cant wait til skins is back on! one week yeah

up to season 3 of deadwood too, on dvd, cant believe there wont be a 4th series or carnivale, either! will have to rewatch my faves,

i didn't see dawkins as being nutso or aggresive in getting his point across last night at all.

he had a couple of disagreements about the difference between real and alternative medicine, but even then the people he was speaking to did enough on their own to look like complete wankers.

he also went on to agree with your point about placebo's.

i thought he covered it from both sides pretty well considering he finds alternative medicine to be a joke normally. 

yeah for sure, i didnt mean he was agressive last nite but he is very outspoken in his books and media articles

ahh ok then.

i think i'm really going to like him then.

ooh checkit:

Well I'm quite enjoying Ladette to Lady... all that vomit last night was great 


Did anyone see that doco last night about a kids home in Bulgaria? It was so hard to watch, the saddest thing I've seen in years 

yeah ali was watching that. was horrible. i physically felt terrible watching it.

ali however went onto the internet and enquired about that kids home and you will be relieved to know that it has been shut down. she felt horrible after seeing it too.

i felt sorry most for the boy who was blind. actually i feel sorry for them all really. just because you can't walk, does not mean that you need a nappy.




also. love ladette to lady.

classic show!

Those royal bachelor douchebags were the biggest fuckin turds though

"Whats the time, oh i'll just check my rolex"

Narrator - He woos her by quoting Shakespeare
Prat - "Oh ahah, to be or not be ahaha..."


RICH TOSSERS! 

whats ladette to lady?!!!??!!!

checkit, looks like a cool doco:

TV Highlights
Death In Santaland
9.35pm - 10.24pm  ABC1
Thursday 15 May 2008

America's North Pole is a town that claims to be the true home of Santa Claus, but North Pole Alaska is actually 2700km south of the real North Pole. Founded in 1953 to attract the toy industry and tourism, each year thousands of letters addressed to Santa arrive and are handled by a small army of Santa's helpers. But the town has a darker side. Last year six of the town's pupils were arrested for plotting a mass murder of students and teachers on the anniversary of the Columbine school shootings.

It's hilarious

It's about a group of girls who are terribly, terribly behaved and they put them in a girls finishing school to learn how to be a lady.

I missed this weeks episode cos I watched something on the Green River Killer instead I think.

yeah u just checked it out, sounds cool!

Bought season 1 of Dexter in Thailand and Peachey and I are totally hooked.
Only have 2 episodes left before we've finished the season. Is there a Season 2?

ooh can i borrow sometime nat?

yep heaps of season 2 on ezytv.

absolutely! 

yay, thanks! woohoo new skins on tv tonite

OH NO!!!! It clashes with Louis Theroux

Here are tonite's recommended viewing, by Trashy

Unfortunately, the plan fails but they have Plan B which is successful. Clyde is number one, but Kyle is at the bottom of the list which he takes very badly.

Skins
   
10pm – 10.50pm SBS
Maxxie is trying to manage problems with his father Walt, who is desperate for him to be a builder, despite his dream of being a professional dancer.

Louis Theroux
African Hunting Holiday
   
10.30pm – 11.40pm Seven

Louis Theroux investigates the elite world of well-heeled American hunters who pay top dollar for a chance to shoot big game in Africa. Lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, hippos, even rhinos are up for grabs for those with the right kind of money. Along the way, Louis meets a seven-year-old boy ready to bag his first springbok, a CEO intent on bringing home the head of a hippopotamus, and an evangelical hunting guide who compiles videos of his most spectacular kills.

If anyone here likes anime, there is a 50-minute short film called Blood - The Last Vampire on SBS tonight at 12:20. It was Japan's first anime to use a mix of 2D and digital animation, and it is by the people who made Ghost In The Shell...I hired it a few months ago and enjoyed it

Blood is super cool, it was meant to be continued into a series but never was

When i was checking the movie out on Wikipedia i found this article though,



This is the link to an article on the series
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood%2B

  I haven't ever seen the series anywhere, but it sounds like it does exist...

woo!! lets hope so! at the time it was released, i didnt hear anything else about the series. yay for us tho!

Yeah i reckon! The movie is pretty damn cool...I'll check out some places in town next time I'm in there to see if anywhere has got it...Between Shintokyo, JB and Ezy Dvd i think there's a relatively good chance...

I guess you could also see if it's available in any 'car lots' on the net too? 

Just read in Saturday's Advertiser that we will no longer be hearing Gordon Ramsay say 'cunt'.



Damn...

There's this show on Foxtel called My Sweet Sixteen. Each episode follows some uber-rich spoilt brats planning their 16th or other important milestone party. It's absolutely disgusting the way most of these kids behave and the way their parents lavish them with expense despite their attitude. One kid gave out 200 invitations in a personalised box containing a $100 MP3 player recorded with a message inviting people to the party!

It's a fascinating yet frustrating show to watch!

I actually believe it was GITS that had that honour! It came out in 96 I think!


Edit: I was wrong, this was the first : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross_Plus

Oh ok, well i think Blood was one of the first to do it anyway, be cool to check Macross Plus out though


Yeah my friend has Fox and i reckon I've stumbled across that show once or twice...some of the things are just fucking ridiculous aren't they? See i hate rich people like that who instead of doing helpful things for the world - like i dunno, actually donating some of their money or something - they give their teenage kids unlimited reigns and a bottomless allowance...Oh well, daddy's trust fund won't be around forever 

This video cheered me up though -

[video: www.youtube.com]

serves the cunt right (although he probably bought 2 more after) 

 Totally agree. I like watching it so I can get angry at them

just saw this on you tube...my super sweet funeral 

[video: www.youtube.com]

 

Power chuck into the casket!

fuck all to download atm. seems everything is on a break, or am i missing something?

Yeah same.

at the moment i like the watching the real housewives of the OC (or something like that). its just about all these women who are just so obsessed with money and being perfect and tanned and blonde etc its just hilarious. i love watching/reading anything about ways of life i will never experience for myself. this show is certainly a prime example.

Nah, its pretty dry in terms of new shows atm.

I'm contemplating downloading season one of Rome and seeing if it's up to scratch. Have you got into The Wire by any chance? There were 5 seasons of that worth watching if your keen for a new show.

Whilst unfortunately Entourage isn't back till September, I just saw that Season 4 of Weeds is scheduled to air on June 16th which is rather good news indeed. Season 2 of Flight of the Conchords is now looking like January next year as is Lost. Fuck knows how I'll cope waiting that long for both those shows but on the bright side, how friggen good will January be for new TV?

yeah january will be absolutely rocking. haven't checked out the wire will look into it. what was that other show you recommended me a while back? was it brotherhood or something? need some new shiz. i rate tv shows well above movies these days.

Never heard of anything called Brotherhood so that wasn't me. Definitely go The Wire though, it's another awesome HBO series.

I've got 2 seasons of Dexter here I haven't watched yet so thats probably going to be my next tv marathon. Another awesome show if you haven't watched it yet and can handle strange British comedy is The Mighty Boosh. It ain't everyones cup of tea but I found it hillarious.

Fuck yes!

Are you thinking of a show called Band of Brothers Timboh?
Oh gosh, so addicted to Dexter at the moment. Watched the first season in little over a weekend and are now enjoying season 2 very much!

not sure, was having a drunk convo with noddy one night so can't remember the name of the show..

downloading season 1 of the wire now

band of brothers was pretty decent.

love those types of shows.

mighty boosh is funny as fuck but well random

been loving this season of hell's kitchen

 Couldn't get in to Dexter, it was ok.

 Seems incredibly B grade to me though.

Check it dude.

Fantastic series, it's a pity they only made 2 seasons.

rock of love starts on monday night



havent seen it but im sure it will be nice and trashy

celebrity rehab is pretty hot, even if there arent any recognisable celebs in there apart from chyna and briggete neilson (or whatever her name is)

speaking of trash - which is the best season of surreal life?



anyone else been watching hell's kitchen? matt looks like a serious pedo! cant wait for him to die!

i really wish there was an uncut version of whose line is it anyway. would be funny as fuck if they could take it to another level.

Drew Carey is doing The Price Is Right now. Sell-out!!!

rock of love = teh awesome!

so much more trashy than flava of love.

is that the one with brett someone?

 Awesome show!

 Finale is sick

bret michaels, lead signer of poison



just started season one on tele over here... very entertaining!

Jess was Hot! Heather was not!!

bring on season 2 lol

oh yeah! rock of love is on every night... episode two is on now!

omg its always sunny in philadelphis is the FUNNIEST!!!! The Gang Goes Jihad is the best, omg yes so funny. I also like the prom one, with the underage drinking.

great stuff!

I just read that The Prisoner is going to be remade. (link)

Whilst I thoroughly despise the whole idea of remakes, this could actually be pretty good if framed in the right way.

And they make a giant bubble that prevents people escaping

"And why did you think a bubble would stop them?"
"Shut up! That's why!"

looking forward to watching this: Asylum

cant believe i havent heard of it? i need to rewatch spaced...

[video: www.youtube.com]

I've never heard of it either?
is it coming on telly?

nope, i am borrowing a friends copy tho..can burn u it, if u like? its from 1996, predates spaced!!

that would be great, thanks chica

hamna shida!

last monday they had 25 chicks on the show. they have been showing it every night mon-thurs so they are already down to the last 5. cant wait til the finale next week!

scott baio is 45 and single starts this sunday too... awesome!

i'm watching the sopranos again

god i love unlimited downloads!

 boh

 We have been watching the US version of The Office this week, it's blown me away. So much better than I was expecting. I had pretty much held off until now cos the UK version is my all time favourite show so was scared of the US version tarnishing it.

 Woot

 Have just moved on to Season 5 of Sopranos with Sal as well, think this is my third time through

hmmm that is interesting, i have been staying away from it too. love the uk version...

the us version is good, its just american office stuff...but the actors are great, initially people freaked out but i dont see why.

has anyone been watching medical mavericks? (i know deathmaze did..) its AWESOME and if u like medical/history stuff, its worth checking! abc 830 tues nites

 I just assumed they wouldn't be able to pull it off. I would hate to think how many times I have seen the UK version, it's the most perfect TV show ever made imo.  I reckon I introduced about 20 people to the show back in the day (Rob got me onto it actually, nothing risque though).

 The US version is a lot more of a 'sitcom' with more obvious humour even though it's shot in the same mockumentary stye. You are right about the actors, Steve Carell is great in his take on the role as are the people that play Jim (Tim) and Pam (Dawn).  The Dwight (Gareth) character I think lets the show down a bit by being too over the top, hence making it more like a sitcom. It's still funny though.

 Timboh check it out for sure, there are heaps more episodes than the UK version also.

 

 

 

yeahif u dont expect it to be the same, u will have a hell of an easier time enjoying it

will do, cheers guys...surely it can't top this!!!

[video: www.youtube.com]

Nothing in the American show will ever top that, best scene ever I got given the box set a few years back, have watched it so many times...But as hard as i try i can't get into the US version, too slapstick for my liking...

On a similar note, I've been watching Ricky Gervais' other show, Extras, lately...Pretty good shit, maybe not as good as The Office though, but i love Stephen Merchant in it





Also got myself OZ season 5 the other day

the extras is HILARIOUS!!! often awkward, but HILARIOUS!!! specially jean luc picard's appearance, and I also love Kate Winslet and Orlando Bloom's cameo. Who can forget David Bowie's ditty

"pathetic little fat man, the one nobody laughs at"...

I think it was Extras that had Ronnie Corbett as himself being a coke fiend! Twas one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life 

as in the prison show? thought it ended last season as most peeps died a horrible death!! love that show!

How do you mean? There are 6 seasons in total and it finished in 2003, but it's only being released this on DVD this year



and anyway, peeps die horrible deaths in every episode!

season 2 is so much better than season 1!

Yeah definitely man, hired it the other day

'Are you having a laugh?'  SO FUCKING AWKWARD...especially, as someone said, the episode where he's nominated for a BAFTA, the one with Ronnie Corbett...its just so awful some times

Anyone watching Top Gear?

 The one where he is on stage playing the gay character and all his mates come and watch him, I was physically cringing I could not bear it.

 Awesome show. There is a Xmas special for it as well.

 

yeah, they sure did! i thought it was an up-to-date broadcast of each season before it stopped showing on SBS last year - thanks for enlightening me on that one 

my fave part of each show was the philosophical narration by the guy in the wheelchair - deep!

wasn't that michael from lost? i haven't watched heaps of oz...too much man loving lol.

Am loving watching the Mighty Boosh repeats on BBC3 at the moment.

"Eels up inside ya
Findin an entrance where they can
Eels up inside ya

Boring through your mind, through your tummy, through your anus, eels!

Eels!

Eels (x14)

Give it up now!

Eels!

Eels, eels, give it up now!
Eels, eels, give it up now!

I was obselete
I couldn't hear the beat
Staggerin about on me old mans feet
I had one foot in the grave
But now I'm nu rave!
But now I'm nu rave!

It's a mash up!
Pie and mash up!

Elements of the past
And elements of the future
Comin atcha
I'm the hitcher
Let me put you in the picture!

Eels up inside ya
Findin an entrance where they can
Eels up inside ya
Findin an entrance where they can

Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either... "

i caught that song at the end after switching over from rock of love, waiting for family guy to start...

boosh is awesome!

haven't watched much yet...definitely will though.


[video: www.youtube.com]

Fuck I love Mighty Boosh.

yup! and that's what i liked about the show - not the gay sex, but lots of big penises on show = some rare eye candy for the ladies hahaha

OMG 'That Webb and Mitchell Look' is HILARIOUS!!

Specially Sir Digby Chicken Cesaer!

[video: www.youtube.com]

pretty happy with the result with the rock of love finale... bit disappointed with what happened after the show causing a second season to start...

ahh well, season 2 on the download!!



ps: i love money starts in a couple of weeks...

how awesome was it when he asked if he could have both of them?



hopefully they put season 2 on foxtel soon

you could see that was a trick question from miles away tho



get simon to download season 2

 Rock of Love 2 and Flavor Of Love 3 start next week on foxtel

yessssssssssss. love the trash.

we've got 'australia's next top model' season 4 and 'project runway' season 4, on the download. woo!

'farmer wants a wife' starts tonite too, cant wait!

did anyone catch 'the nest' on saturday nite? it was great!

rock of love 2 is pretty decent so far, but it is pretty weird seeing megan from beauty and the geek in it

I missed the semis of Gladiators last night. Did anyone get creamed?

dunno!

what i do know, however, is that I am soooo tracking down this show! sounds cool...

Edwardian Supersize Me



As part of BBC Four's Edwardians Season, restaurant critic Giles Coren and comedian Sue Perkins attempt to eat for a week in the style of the era's monied classes. Chef Sophie Grigson keeps their plates piled high.

How will our 21st-century foodies cope with seven days' worth of huge breakfasts, meat-heavy dinners and rich puddings? A glance at Monday's menu - which in Edwardian terms is a fairly simple affair, being for a private family day with no guests - gives an idea of just how daunting is the task ahead of them.

Experts will be on hand to explain how, among other things, the Edwardians gave the world the Full English Breakfast, allowed women into restaurants (though strictly as decoration) and entertained on a table-creakingly grand scale at home.

To top the week off, Giles is assessed by a doctor to find out what seven days of Edwardian-style excess has done to his body.

World's Wackiest Sports is on in 15

Hosted by Aussie skater Jason Ellis with some kickboxer and a comedian.

Tonight: A look at exotic sports from around the world including gurning and lingerie sky diving.



Seen a few episodes of this and it is pretty cool. The guys watch random sports vids and either a: take the piss out of them or b: actually go out and try some of these freaky sports... quality!

found out the other day my mums cousin is on a reality show starting soon called jack of all trades 

omg the nest, on sbs saturday nites, keeps getting better and better! what a funny show!

http://www.sbs.com.au/thenest/

u should all check it, if you havent already. the comments are gold, at the website forum, also!

Joe Rogan?

Some of those kids are such selfish brats... it's great 

The last episode was so funny when they did the role reversal and some of the "kids" (over the age of 25!) were complaining that their parents would get it too easy and it would be like a holiday for them! Well yes of course, because you're a lazy brat 

I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Anielka is crazy!!!!!!!!!! Seriously some horrid power trips going on there. Jeremy is such a dick too, who talks bout how much their shirt cost??? Wanker!

Love the Wilkinson Family, the next episode needs more Scott!

I just want to throw it out there that Two and a Half Men is quite possibly the funniest show on TV right now. Never used to watch it but recently won't miss it. Friggen hillarious.

Also got plenty of laughs from that Wipeout show tonight.

i think that is one of the highest rating sitcoms in the states atm.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Gold show.

i am surprised it is a gold show actually, not something i would normally watch based on the ads i have seen etc...

i'll second that been on this shit for about a year always plenty of laughs good hour and a half of it on tonight too

who loves charlie waffles??!!?? 

image not archived: two_men_3t6258_20.jpg

I always thought the same but switched over when 10 dropped The Simpsons for Friends. So glad I did because it's now one of my favourite shows. Charlie Sheen's character is brilliant.

Oh, and there is always plenty of eye candy which helps.


OMG!!!!

Need to find the tracklist for the Charlie Waffles album.

he is my role model

i have the being wasted part

now i just need money looks and a house on the beach

And I present the Charlie Waffles CD.

I DRINK FROM A SIPPY CUP!!  

Channel 9 kicking serious goals at the moment.

Curb Your Enthusiasm just came on. That's what I call quality late night viewing.

no shit its on late nite??? COOL!

spacey is hooked on Two and a HAlf Men...She wasnt sure if it was funny or whether she was going loopy with the laugh track haha!

i've actually been enjoying the simpsons of late. the episodes they are showing are some of the best i've seen in 5-6 years. shame i am missing wipeout for it, but can't go past good simpsons.

big fan of two and a half men. have been watching it a lot more over the last few months. some seriously good comedy in there.

I hate Two and a Half Men... I've tried to watch it but can only last a few seconds coz it's not funny and I can't stand listening to charlie sheen's voice 

And speaking of hating people, I can't watch the channel 9 weather anymore because the guy has a creepy joker mouth... bring back Keith Martin

really? I love that show! You have to stick with it though for a couple of episodes  i reckon

Alot of classic one liners in that show

i reckon charlie sheen's great. just living the dream.


agree with you on the channel 9 weatherman though. he looks like he ate keithy!

Been watching it for quite a while now and love it. Charlie Sheen is pure gold.

What hookers, coke and beating up fiancees and ex-girlfriends? 

that's right. hit after hit on the ol box!

Yeah the first season wasn't as good - they tweaked all the characters and made them more fucked up as the show went on.  Definitely worth a look in if your watching tv at that time but I haven't gone as far to download a back log. 

A show that really got me recently as the seasons went on was How I met Your Mother.  Man that show is awesome.   

I saw the first few eps and really enjoyed it. Then I missed a stack of it. Planning on hiring the whole first season and have a marathon but it's been out for weeks. Thinkin I'll d/l s1 and hire the copy of s2 that's taunted me every time I've been there. After season 2 of Shameless that is...

how i met your mother is awesome

yeah i agree on that too.

i love the stalker lady from 2 and a half men. funny as a fit.

Two and a half men is one of the only shows I watch a lot of. Rose is the stalker, she's gold. I also love the Candy episodes. I like how they've gradually made Charlie into more than a 2d character obsessed with girls and grog into someone who actually has problems, so it doesn't all fall on Alan to be the messed up one.

my god the French chick in Rock of Love 2 ism an absolute creature. Face like a bulldog chewing a wasp

i warned ya...

hahah cheers for the heads up



(now thank fuck she's gone)

Ain't that he truth!!   

No spoilers please!

Its a spoiler if it's said a day after the show was aired?

Just finished watching the first season of Big Love. It's about a polygamus family living in Utah.
Nothing fantastic, but it's def interesting. Bill Paxton (one of the marines from Aliens) is the husband\father and he has 3 wives with 7 kids.

Might look at hiring season 2 if my d/l of Shameless season 2 doesn't hurry the fuck up.

big love has been on sbs for a while now. chloe svegny or whatever her names is one of the wives.

Have watched a bit of Big Love but I find it drags on a bit. Just seems really dull with very little actually happening.

May be better if you watch it all the time and know the characters but just doesn't seem like one for me.

i LOVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Big Love! Chloe rocks, as does Harry Dean Stanton as the false prophet who kicks Bill out of the compound...Massive personal wars! I cant believe I have to wait so long for the next season Wont be out til next year I think!

Bill Paxton pops up all over the place!  I was just watching Commando the other day (as freaking awesome as I remember it btw) and he had a very minor role.   

Not a fan of Big Love though.

I loved his role in True Lies. Classic sleaze material lol.

It def ain't no Weeds thats for sure!!!
I enjoyed season 1, but it is def lacking in the scripting a bit.

Just when I think it couldn't get any trashier than watching two episodes of Rock of Love back to back, I turn the TV on to find a show called 20 Greatest Celebrity Reality Fights!



Looks like I'll be awake for at least another hour...

nah

jason ellis - skater
kit cope - kick boxer
sam tripoli - comedian

its also known as the wide world of spike

Is anyone else into the Hollowmen?  I fukn love that show...

missed it last night because of cricket. will be watching it tonight. though. bless abc2.

The Smashing Machine

Wednesday 30 July 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sport so dangerous it was once banned in the US, no-holds-barred fighting is undeniably the purest form of human competition. Simple in concept and savage in execution, it is the definitive test of survival - one ring, two fighters, and no rules. In this documentary, the camera takes an unflinching look at the world of extreme fighting through the eyes of the sport's top fighters, including Mark "The Smashing Machine" Kerr, a modern-day gladiator who became an overnight sensation when he claimed championships in Brazil, Japan, and the US. The number one ranked fighter in the world, Mark Kerr's success has brought him money, international fame, and a full-blown addiction to painkillers.

Genre: Documentary 
Year: 2002 
Country: USA 
Language: English, Japanese 

its really sad! we watched it a couple of years ago on sbs...those guys are powerful, but often pretty messed up. i definitely recommend watching it.

Watching this show called Middlemen via teh intrawebs.

It's a bit silly, but I like it.

Episode 1 has a genetically engineered ape obsessed with Scarface running about doing mob hits.

It's that kind of show.

The best bit - the ape is called Spanky 

I'm watching this horrible Gary Busey movie about an escaped tiger that kills a bunch of people in Hicktown USA.

Why oh why did Maja have to leave the remote all the way up on the table!?!?!

How dare you bag anything Gary Busey related.

Although I've just watched season 1 & 2 of Entourage in the last 24 hours so I could be a little biased right now.

Have you managed to catch any of I'm With Busey?

Only just heard about it but havent found much of it to watch...

I caught an ep of a tv series he is in at the moment called Kingdom.  Set in a small fishing village somewhere in the uk. He plays the part of a solicitor. Never seen him acting b4, only on panel shows and in docos.  Not usually the type of show I'd watch but cos he is in it I gave it a go.  Pretty funny actually.

He was absolutely hillarious in Blackadder.

So apparently there is a big push to bring tougher broadcasting rules to ACA, TT and reality television because "the community" is apparently fed up with demeaning portrayals of people and misleading reporting.

http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,28383,25972321-10229,00.html

On the one hand I strongly agree that TT and ACA should be held more accountable for the crap they portray.

But on the other hand, the beeping of sexually connotative words and blurring of sexual content in reality shows is a bit worrying - what's wrong with a bit of T&A?

Tune into ABC1 for a report on the juvenile 'justice' system tonight @ 8.30 pm on Four Corners.

Miss Universe is on Chan 7 at the moment.

CORRRRRR BLIIIIIIIIIIIMEY!!!

STEVEN Seagal is at the centre of a legal battle between rival TV bosses over a new reality show, according to Contactmusic. Production company execs at The Idea Factory say network chiefs at America's A&E network stole their idea to make a show about the action man's life.

TMZ reports they allege A&E executives went behind their backs, after dismissing suggestions for a series of shows - and signed a deal with Seagal. One of the ideas pitched to the TV bosses was a show featuring Seagal, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme all living together. Awesome!

Holy fucking shit. That would probably make the universe implode!

I might watch Under Siege actually.

Yes, the show is real and it's almost here. It will be the greatest TV show ever. Period.

[video: www.youtube.com]

Baaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha, oh my fucking god, this is going to be on a whole new level of awesome. I am seriously predicting this to become my favourite show.

macgyver is on

 For those that haven't seen it, The Wire is starting this tuesday on ABC 2 at 9.30. Highly recommended.

 Def in my top 5 fave TV shows of all time!

COMMERCIAL FREE!!!!!!!

WOOT!

Speaking of ABC, this was on mediawatch:

James Thomas (ACA):... 1938, and this prank radio broadcast caused chaos in the streets of New York, forcing Welles to publicly apologise.

Orson Welles (File Footage): Extremely surprised to learn that...

Orson Welles (File Footage):... had a profound effect upon radio listeners

James Thomas (ACA): And then when he wrote 1984, we thought it wasn't possible that the world could be like that. Again, how wrong we were. [shots of video cameras]

I can't believe anyone could allow this type of error to be allowed to go to air.

I'm loving that EZTV has Spicks & Specks episodes.

Just watched a few I missed recently and I've said it before but it's the funniest show on TV right now.

5 new shows that may be worth checking out...


SHOW: Glee
PREMIERE: Wednesday, September 9th, 9 p.m., Fox
THE SKINNY: Glee, from Popular creator Ryan Murphy, is what High School Musical should have been. The show, a comedy about the strange and wondrous subculture of high school glee club, is cheerful and charming, with a surprising and genuine (if not terribly deep) undercurrent of nostalgic melancholy that mixes perfectly with its sour humor. Glee is wickedly funny in the same gonzo way that Popular was, with strange cutaways and almost-cartoonishly manic characters who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Oh, and it has musical numbers! Big, beautiful, clear-voiced pop numbers sung passionately and without any of that irksome irony that's been laid on too thick in most of the things people deem “smart” these days. The cast, led by Broadway vets Matthew Morrison (South Pacific at Lincoln Center) and Lea Michele (Spring Awakening), is attractive and majorly, earnestly talented. And hey, it's nice to see that it’s so gay-friendly, considering that it’s on Fox. Glee is purely what its name implies. If you’re anything like us, you’ll be grinning like an idiot the entire hour. --

SHOW: The Good Wife
PREMIERE: Tuesday, September 22 at 10 p.m., CBS
THE SKINNY: Alicia Forrick has known better days: Her politician husband was involved in corruption and sex scandals, and now he's on his way to jail. Left to fend for herself, Alicia (Julianna Margulies) goes back to work -- as a criminal defense attorney -- in order to support her children. As she fights to win cases in court, she struggles at home to cope with her husband's infidelity and neglect. Politics and sex seem to go together like strawberries and chocolate. (Hey, power is hot.) But after the deed is done, the good wives of adulterous politicians stand by their husbands at press conferences and silently wipe away tears. What happens after the cameras stop rolling? The Good Wife fills in the blanks.


SHOW: Modern Family
PREMIERE: Wednesday, September 23, 9:00 p.m., ABC


THE SKINNY: Modern Family is the next best thing to Arrested Development being brought back from the dead. Packed tightly with smart jokes and timely physical humor, the sitcom follows three dysfunctional families -- a traditional husband, wife, and kids setup, an older man and his younger Latina lover, and a homosexual couple with a newly adopted Vietnamese baby -- in mockumentary style. Phil, played by Back to You's Ty Burrell, is part AD's Gob and Tobias, and is destined to become a fan-favorite. How much do we like this show? I've rewatched the pilot episode five times.


SHOW: Cougar Town
PREMIERE: Wednesday, September 23, 9:30 p.m., ABC
THE SKINNY: Jules ( played by Courteney Cox) has a hot bod and a ragin’ sex drive -- but she’s also 40 years old, newly divorced, and mother to a high school-aged son named Travis (Dan Byrd). Determined to prove to her sleazy single older male neighbor (who beds a new twenty-something girl each night) that she can get a younger guy, Jules goes out on the prowl and gets back in the game. The awkward moments that result are hilarious, and the dialogue is witty, thus putting a new spin on the tired TV premise of suburban life. Cougar Town has lots of potential: Cox is on her way to a triumphant comeback, and Byrd is just coming into his own. -

No more White Castle for me.

SHOW: FlashForward

PREMIERE: Thursday, September 24, 8:00 p.m., ABC


THE SKINNY: With its ensemble cast, sci-fi storyline, and flashbacks, FlashForward will no doubt be compared to Lost. And with Lost ending next season, FlashForward could very well fill the gaping hole that be created when the show departs for good. Heck, FlashForward even added Lost's Penny (Sonya Walger) and Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) to the cast. The premise is simple, yet eerie: Everyone on the Earth blacks out for a few minutes, during which time they have visions of the future. One character sees her marriage falling apart, one sees nothing and thinks he's dead, and another sees a huge conspiracy theory. The future looks like crap, but the question is: How will we get there?




modern family and flashforward sound like the pick of the bunch from this lot...

my favourite episode of the sarah silverman show was on last night. absolute classic about abortion.

Awesome town!

Been meaning to catch this one, cheers for the heads up. 

Hmmm... The Wire was a no-show, literally.

Just finished season 1 and on to season 2... awesome show

Stop teasing!

Well if you were trying to watch it last night on channel 2 then yes, I assume it would have been. This could be because it airs on a Tuesday.

 

Bwhahahahaha...

Thought it was Tuesday yesterday... It's been a long week.

Speaking of The Wire, I've been seeing coming soon ads for it on Go!(99). Strange.

for alana

the wire is on TONIGHT

 Basically screwed once you miss an episode

Ah crap. I missed this again. Will DL and watch it online when uni breaks up. My dream job is SSO work at Elizabeth-Fremont; it will definately play a role in developing my practice wisdom lol.

Season 2 of Sons of Anarchy is up on EZTV.

If you haven't checked it out yet, then I highly recommend u get off your arse and get onto it asap.

We can be heroes has just come through the post and flight of the conchords one and two

yeh yeh yeh DVD pleassuuuurre

new season of man vs wild has been superb.

You know it.

All 4 episodes have been top notch so far.

for those who havent seen it, rock of love is on tonight - ch10@11.20pm

The Vampire Diaries was pretty meh... think Twilight in a TV series.

Grabbed the first 6 eps of Season 1 on Friday - Not terribly exciting if you ask me... infact i thought it was quite poor

Anyone seen Psychoville ??

Interesting show..

Yeah! It's fucking brilliant.

Been watching season 1 of Important Things with Demitri Martin and I love it.

His style of comedy takes some getting used to but I think he's hilarious.

OMFG

i caught this with bel and was both disgusted and thourougly entertained he found 20 of the dumbest sluts possible i loved they were all sticking there tounge down his throat withi minutes

Who the hell is he anyway i never caught that throughout the show

bret michaels, lead singer of poison, glam rock band from the 80s

the skankiness is unbeleivable on this show, but it is hard to stop watching... it gets pretty mental towards the end!

season two is just as gold, i have season 3 here but havent gotten around to watching it yet

The funniest part is, none of the girls are smart enough to realise that all they need to do to win is make him a sandwich.

half of them would struggle because they arent as smart as a sandwich, the other half arent allowed near knives

Vampire Hunter D is on SBS One right now.

OMFG Are you serious. Everyone knows who Brett Michaels is. Those dumb sluts dont just stick their throats down any old make-up wearing glam rocker. 

classic...

I grabbed a couple of eps of the new show Glee the other night - Absolute tripe.. I probably should have read what it was about before downloading!

i am suprised you didnt gather it was crap from the crap adverts they have been showing on tv



flash forward has potential...

I don't watch TV
