ABC airs wrong episode of Mad As Hell, and Shaun Micallef is, well, you know…
Shaun Micallef has something new – well, old – to be mad about, with the ABC accidentally airing an old episode of Mad As Hell last night.
Micallef, who seemingly couldn’t get the issue resolved, tweeted #idiots, while his wife did things the old fashioned way and called the ABC switchboard.
My wife is ringing the ABC switchboard. I rang ITV. Hopefully we’ll at least get the right one up on iView. It’s a good episode too. Nice and topical. Maybe they’ll play it next week. #madashelltv #idiots https://t.co/FzYRHuuISv

I regret to inform you that the correct episode of Young Sheldon aired tonight. #MadAsHell

Dr Mumbo understands a production error by a single staffer led to the mix up, and that dwindling resources prevented anyone from fixing it for its later airings in South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Fans can now contain their rage, however, with the correct episode available on iView, and running on TV screens tonight (allegedly).
Last week’s Mad as Hell is still better than anything on the major networks.

Friends of the ABC will probably mobilise and declare the incident shows the ABC needs more staff, all paid more.
Poor $110,000-average-wage-per-year buggers….

what does he expect with all the cuts the righteous right keeps making to the ABC, I’m surprised they even had one worker in the building

.. all the comments seem to have failed to grasp the fact that the ABC outsourced their on-air presentation to Bruce Gordon’s WIN years ago, All that’s left at the ABC itself is a news department.

Could you be more obvious a right wing shill? The ABC has had its funding cut by the destroyers year on year since they won government six years ago, and they’re looking to cut another $14.6 million to be cut this financial year, and I can guarantee they will look to make bigger cuts in the next three years – nothing to do with the budget, everything to do with ideology. So when stuff ups like this happen, it’s not hard to understand why; they’re effectively running on the smell of an oily rag these days. But cool story bro.

Robbo, you are to be commended for your impartial, politically centrist views. So refreshing in this post-modernist, I am a lefty and therefore I must have a lifetime supply of adult Huggies, nihilistic world.
