TVT Awards: ….most bizarre responses

The Cash Cow is TV's Most Underrated Performer and there should be more Bull Fighting on TV. Apparently.

At least that’s according to some of the more colourful votes submitted to the TV Tonight Awards.

  1. Oh love this…?….. one of the side benefits of running a blog…..
    I love ABC News Breakfast…unfortunately…I am not an early riser…unless I pull an all nighter…so I tend to catch up with the Breakfast Couch…

    1. I love News Breakfast too, although I am surprised to see it poll well as the ratings don’t reflect that. However, being a pure news channel means that the show gets very repetitive over three hours, so I jump over to 9Life for a while, and watch Good Bones, House Hunters, Texas Flip etc for a palate cleanser.

  2. Breakfast news television should take note of the opinions that people don’t watch, would rather sleep and that they’re all terrible. I agree. I haven’t watched any morning news programs in years as they are a bland and depressing way to wake up to. They should be replaced with comedians, like The Panel. Aerobics Oz Style should make a comeback or there could be a meditation or yoga themed program, along with more variety, like Good Morning Australia but without infomercials.

    1. I agree. A long time ago, there was one hour of news in the morning (actual news). Now it’s three hours of entertainment and cash giveaways and sometimes concerts to disguise the fact that there is pretty much nothing apart from the window dressing. And most of the other news programs on the commercial stations is pretty much the same thing. I think that they should only cover the news and get rid of the Cash Cow and whatever character Today has now that gives away cash.

  3. Hilarious stuff. I’ve already laughed enough for the entire week reading these. Thanks for posting David. Thanks for being so clever fellow readers.

    My favourites were Best Morning TV Programme: Sleep & Best Aussie Reality: Parliament Question Time.

  4. You really don’t want to see bullfighting. I went to one in Spain last year. The end of the bull’s life is incredibly graphic (so graphic, YouTube won’t let me post the video).
