  1. Out of the 22 shows, I hadn’t heard of 2 and didn’t make it to the end of the first episode of 16 of them. Though I did watch the 2nd and 3rd season of Janet King (mostly because there wasn’t much else on at the time).

    I did watch four all the way through. 2 were short miniseries and two were series that had aimless second seasons, because they didn’t have a plan for after the first season, which caused them to be cancelled.

    1. Now Pertinax, you’ve got me trying to figure out which shows your talking about. Any clues?

      I watched six or seven of the above shows all the way through. They were; The Slap, Paper Giants: The Birth of Cleo, Puberty Blues, The Time of Our Lives, Never Tear Us Apart, Love Child and possibly Sisters, although I can’t remember if I watched that all the way.

  2. I forget to vote for The Hamster Wheel, which was very good (in the spirit of The Chaser’s War On Everything). The Hamster Decides was another good one, even though it was only shown during an election. There was a Chasers’ election show earlier this year, it was on ABC Comedy and I don’t think many people noticed it. And I also would’ve put down Sammy J but forgot all about it.

    1. What was there? Damn I didn’t know about that. Would definitely have watched it. Why didn’t they promote it? I always loved watching the Chaser at election time.

  3. Yes, very true. I did forget some of those. So much so, I couldn’t make five Aussie shows, so I included Wentworth, which I only watched the first season of. I think I would have added Paper Giants and Puberty Blues, if I’d seen this article first.

  4. I did put Love Child. Most of them I either didn’t watch or had forgotten. Some were on the extra digital channels in the early days before I had them. Back in the days of analogue. Remember them?

    1. A lot of people had digital by around 2010 when the analogue signals begun to be switched off, starting in Mildura and finishing in Melbourne and Remote Central and Eastern Australia on 10 December 2013 (I watched the analogue shutdown on Seven here in Melbourne). And I think Foxtel switched off analogue in 2007.

      1. From memory I got the digital channels just before Neighbours switched to 11. I remember thinking thank God I got it just in time. I still had an old analogue TV but bought a recorder which had the digital channels on it.
