  2. The newest SVU eps seem to always end on a cliffhanger. What did the jury decide? Guilty? Not? Sentence? Nothing, before 10 crashes into the next program. Thankfully local library has seasons 1-19. Some 400+ eps.
    ABC News Breakfast only 36,000 behind Today, which is 101,000 behind Sunrise.
    Loved how the Hanoi schoolgirls mobbed Michael Rowland last week for selfies. “He big TV star from Australia, we watch him”. (On ABC Australia- Breakfast Couch which are compiles). He didn’t get the answer he expected when asking “so what’s your favourite Australian show?”. “Home and Away”. Oops.

  4. I love SVU, but haven’t watched it on Ten for years. I would 100% watch it on TenPlay, but I don’t think it’s on there, and I haven’t used TenPlay since my HTPC died and I’m only using my PS4.
