The Playlist talks TV
If you're a fan of telly, you should be checking out The Playlist, especially tonight when Seven's Tim Worner has news on Lost.

One of the few Australian television shows to actually discuss TV is Showcase’s The Playlist hosted by critic Andrew Mercado (pictured, left).
Mercado, who writes for TV Week and appears on Mornings with Kerri-Anne, knows plenty about telly and his book Super Aussie Soaps is still the definitive read on Australian soap operas.
Airing every Friday and Monday at 7:25pm, he is joined by various critics and media personalities as this photo indicates with Tracey Spicer (Sky News) and Byron Cooke (TripleM).
Despite being on Showcase, the interstitial discusses both Pay and Free to Air programming and is given freedom to discuss rival programmes or even speak up if they don’t like a show on Showcase itself. Kudos guys.
Tonight Seven programmer Tim Worner is guest and has some news for Lost fans that could be worth catching.
On Monday night GO! Programmer Les Sampson will reveal a new title that’s coming to the channel.
The Playlist can also be seen online via its own website theplaylist.com.au

Can the Go programmer please be sacked?
Does anyone know what the new announcement that that Les Simpson from GO! made?
theplaylist.com.au hasn’t been updated since 01/01/10. Hopefully it will soon
Damn. I dont have Showcase (or any movie channels). Pity they dont have it on E! or something..
The Playlist is a show not to be missed. I have it on series link! Funny and full of people that actually know their TV.
Will need to IQ that one! Thanks for the heads up.
