I thought the humour on Chaser was predictable and lame. It seemed like a job creation program for presenters from The Checkout.
Much prefer Micallef.
I couldn’t agree more. Just remember though, people also thought “You’re Back In The Room” was great viewing also. *shakes head*
I watched Chaser last night and liked it although it felt weird having other people on the desk regularly chiming in, Instead of the core group we usually see. I assume some of them are from The Checkout which I don’t watch.
I watched Mad As Hell and found it rather tedious, Micallef’s humour is not for mei. I also watched some random vlogging BBC documentary on ABC2. Surprised to find some of them make $4 million a year just for putting vlogs on youtube
Enjoyed The Chaser, they certainly do have the longest d**k. Mad As Hell was good too. “Too Cleverman By Half” said what a lot of people thought about it altho’ I’ll be watching again tonight.
That’s my biggest night of Aus broadcast TV done for this week. All 2½ hours of it (3 if I count news in the background).
Hadn’t watched the project in a while but I watched parts of it last night and thought it was good. I couldn’t believe that 1800 respect story. I’m no expert but it seems pretty obvious and logical that if a person has suffered and is distressed and calls for help they don’t want to have to be transferred, repeat themselves and have to build a rapport with someone else. Why add to their suffering?
