The show was entertaining. It’s a pity that commercial TV networks promote people like Pauline Hanson as a celebrity when she attained her fame through saying “Australia is in danger of being swamped by Asians”.
Enough said.

Margaret & David last night on ABC1 was the most enjoyable 30 mins of television I’ve seen in a long time – congrats to all involved!

Ten needs to refresh their staff and board of directors. Because Ten is losing money and they are losing ratings week after week. must stop import american shows and start making Aussie shows with a mix of Action, Sitcoms, Chickflicks and Drama. More tv series and something for everybody only Australian. Offspring will soon to be the only Aussie seires for Ten since this could be Rush’s Final season because of ratings decline in this Fourth Season. Are we seing the fall of Chanel 10 ???????

Seven’s Sunrise was back on top at breakfast time after two successive mornings of decreasingly rare victories for Nine’s Today. GO SUNRISE!! SUNRISE RULES! Hopefully is is “decreasing rare victories for Nine’s today’ . They are too “try hard” not at all natural. even the banter is so contrived and I cant stand Cam on Weekend Today!

Congrats to ABC for running third in Wed’s ratings. They deserve it, as their line-up was thoroughly entertaining. And bouquets to David and Margaret for their 25th anniversary show.
Channel 10 is sailing off into the sunset. Maybe, the first thing they could do is bring back Good News WEEK.

Good luck James Warburton. You certainly have a very sick and sad network to fix quickly. Not only are the audience moving away so will the advertisers. A three hour breakfast and news early morning program!!! Who has three hours to sit down and watch yesterday’s news?

If you have seen the American version of Celebrity Apprentice even not knowing who half of the “celebrities” are it is entertaining and classy unlike the Aussie version which is very cringeworthy. Unfortunatly I know who all the so called “celebrities” are – that is why I wont be watching!

Channel Ten must be bereft of ideas. Not only are they copying Nine and Seven (and the ABC) with a new cornflakes show, they can’t even think of an original title. Ten are planning to call it Breakfast, but the ABC have been using that same name for their show for over two years.
