  1. What a wonderful achievement and indictment of the talent we have in Australia. Shame shame shame channels 7, 10 and 9 for the disgraceful decisions you made to gut investment in childrens television. It’s dumb and disgusting. Imagine if you hadn’t been so short sighted and risk averse and totally lacking in ambition- you might have stumbled across your own Bluey! Still failing to see the value… thank god or the taxpayer for the ABC!

  2. The sign was episode about the necessity of change that switches abruptly to being about chance. The we’ll see story also occurs in Northern Exposure S5 Bolt From the Blue. And in the end caves and hits the reset button to preserve Disney+’s streaming revenue.
