This program was just diabolical………The lamest writing and a cavalcade of some of the most unlikable characters ever to grace a TV screen.
The creative would never have been given a shot had Andrew Dentons name not been attached to it.
I quite enjoyed :30 Seconds. I also didn’t mind Stupid Stupid Man and Whatever Happened To That Guy. All aussie comedies on Foxtel that didn’t last.
I’m glad to see Aussie comedies being tried, but sad to see them failing to take off.
Call me old fashioned but I think a “sitcom” should have at least a couple of quotable lines along the way – what we used to call “gags”. Not just outlandish and unlikley behaviour passing as humour. There is no culture that supports a community of actual comedy writers in Australia so everything that (somehow) gets made is written by novices and try-hards.
That’s a pity, it was a good show that was really finding it’s feet. Certainly it was much better than Lowdown, which kept falling over them.
I don’t think it would have made sense to produce a second season, as the story was neatly wrapped up at the end of the first.
They should have made a second season. The show wasn’t perfect but it’d be better to work on improving this decent little show into something better, than to start from scratch with something new again.
Although wasn’t part of comedy getting rid of late night shows to give us more new locally produced shows?
Well where are they?
What’s the point in watches the shows if they only go for 6 episodes and never continued.
They announced new local shows last week.
Had some good ideas, but didn’t settle down. Often felt all pver the place. Mind you, I think I was expecting a sort of Frontline of the ad world. Was funny to see John Batchelor from Sea Patrol in a clown outfit though!
