I am having trouble getting excited over anything much of TV these days…even SBS my last resort, has gone off the boil….sad..
I am too lazy to go back and check each and every day for the last week or so but from memory, seven news in Melbourne has dropped off and seven has been beating it for the last two weeks. Again from memory, sevens increase is not a corresponding increase rather, fewer people watching news in Melbourne….
It wouldn’t surprise me if the evening repeat of a decade old Letters and Numbers episode rated about the same as the new episode last night.
It seems that the production crew and/or SBS have learned nothing from the last two seasons. Same old “comedians” who just ain’t cutting the mustard. I didn’t mind Dave Thornton last night, but the others… hooooo boy… and once again, my man David Astle is the wittiest guy on that set.
Hamish Blake and Mark Humphries are a couple of others who I wouldn’t mind seeing again (both are back this season). But Hing is still overreacting with his trademark histrionics over the mildest of comments (which he can’t seem to do without leaning back into his chair and/or straightening his cue cards on his desk).
I’m also sick of them padding out the show in the third act with some excruciatingly tedious routine. Just give us another batch of games… please…
I’m clearly masochistic for being so persistent. Love ya David and Lily.
