I think this is the first time I’ve seen Mad as Hell be rated PG instead of its usual M rating. Certainly shows that it was a more tame episode this time with the current government not giving them as much content to satirize, but they still did an excellent job.
Was Highway Patrol a new episode?
Brain Estedford was quite good, watched it unintentionally after Neighbours.
I watched the whole double ep of ‘Ghosts’, but won’t be back-was very unfunny and predictable-I like Rose McIver from ‘Once Upon A Time’ and ‘Masters Of Sex’, but that was awful…
I hoped after last season that Nine would learn B&G makes a painfully long hour and a half.
Nine would stretch the #1 show of the night to 2-hours if they dared. It’s all in juggling the numbers and stuff the viewers.
The return of Mad As Hell was glorious! Tosh Greenslade certainly earned his keep. Beauty and the Brion (Pegmatite), anyone?
