The Sun-Herald

I would like to see a category for "Concept in decline" aka A show which was once interesting but has "done itself to death" through it's own hand.. examples Spicks and Specks over the 6-12 months the 4 guests tend to picked from a pool of half a dozen B listers .. Hamish Lee, Meshel Laurie etc etc and very few "outsiders" aka visiting international personalities or people from outside of the B List set. Good News Week suffers from the same ailment although Adam Hills still has something to offer unlike Paul McDermott.
Although it is similar in some way to Jumping the shark or flashing the breast, I tend to think that those two terms relate more to drama/comedy/storyline shows rather than ad lib/comment/quiz shows.
In line with this sentiment I would also like to see a category for shows which effectively keep B and C listers on our TV screens aka Shows which are either contests involving B/C listers commenting on something of little note or competing in a wacky zany quiz/game show usually for a charity but mainly to boost/maintain/achieve public profile.
examples 20-1, DWTS, Singing Bee (I think), Hole in the wall, Australia's brainiest z lister and almost anything featuring D. Koch .

One category I think should be there. Is biggest fall by a TV station.
One presenter who must be in the most annoying category would have to be BEN DARK. How this guy is not already on there i don't know. In a country which has some really annoying people on tv. BEN DARK actually makes me turn a tv off. To hear that voice over and over again. Ben Dark in the amazon. I really don't know how a camera crew can go on tour with the guy. Surely they must get extra money. Imagine hearing that voice on a 24 plane trip.

Australian TV is crap. There isn't a single show worth watching. When purusing channels to find something to watch I often find myself saying "there is nothing good on and this is the best on offer." Bring on IP TV I say and spare us the pathetic slow death of Australian commercial television, we are all over it already.

most wooden presenter, most unnecessary personalitly and most annoying person should all really go to one person. Fuzzy from video hits... the fact that she got the job because she has a crazy hair style and name to match is a joke already. but to watch her ask embarrassingly naff questions to overseas artist and then try to throw in the cool comment just to show the guests thats she hip and down with the lingo, is cringe worthy......please remove her from air and employ someone who actually knows something about music.....

Most repeated: Inspector Rex. There would have to be a few other overseas series around, by now.
Most offputting: The "Impotence" one. I have written to SBS with various suggestions as to what I would like to do to their instruments, but to no avail. Each time it comes on, my finger jumps to the remote. At the rate of maybe 5 times in the course of a night, how often for the past ten years or more?
Most embarrassing: Biggest Loser. No politically incorrect comment here, thank you very much.

Oh Deadwood, where are you? Shall your plot lines be forever unresolved? If we're allowed to put external links in here (can't remember the rules) try this:
http://therecapper.blogspot.com/2009/02/open-letter-to-producers-of-deadwood.html
I'd say it's funny but since I wrote it I shouldn't self-promote. I know some Deadwood fans have wrong me in appreciation.

Tribal Mind asks: Are there rules? And your last line seems to have become garbled. "have wrong me in anticipation" doesn't sound right. Care to correct?
And while I'm asking questions, does any reader know what accent Melissa George is supposed to be doing? Sometimes she sounds Australo-American, sometimes Anglo-American, sometimes southern.

Okay, this is from both me and Mr TQD because he watches far more crap on tv than I do so had far more opinions about all our celebrities. (Whereas, the phrase "who on earth is that?" got overworked by me when I was reading him the nominations from the dead tree edition on Saturday.)

Well we get all the American shows like Grey's, plus downloading helps. As for the Aussie shows, I get to Sydney about once a month and that gives me plenty of time to decide how much I hate Channel 9... and Natalie Bassingthwaighte. She drives me nuts. She is everywhere and for what possibly good reason I don't know! Oh and thanks for the shout out re: me being one of the two who miss Big Brother! That was sweet :)
