Maybe nobody other than old foggies at Channel 9 actually give a sh*t. That time-slot on a Saturday night is pretty kids/family-skewed. Can’t see too many 8 year olds being interested in rehashed guff of Bert from 1973. Oh, the Muhammad Ali skit! That hasn’t been wheeled out 28,000 times now, has it!

That is true FS. How many more times do we have to see the same Bert gags? As many times as John Farham’s comeback!!!
