October was 'loopy month' as we were shocked by a 'blackface' skit, Letterman's affair, plus Virginia Trioli, a giant seagull, 'Balloon boy' and a fight within Good Game.
A busy month as we lose Patrick Swayze, Hey Hey returns, Kanye West hijacks the MTV Awards, the cast of Glee arrive, Rafters is blasted for spicy storylines.
MasterChef stormed to a mammoth 3.74m in July while other reality contestants wins went unnoticed. The Chaser ended the War, and Nine finally put down THIS afternoon.
In March we sang for Sound Relief, watched a soapie storm over a kiss, learned Julie Rafter was pregnant, laughed at a YouTube Freeview send up and welcomed ONE HD.
February 2009 was dominated by the Black Saturday bushfires including Nine News having to report the death of a colleague, Underbelly's huge ratings, and the end of an era on Neighbours.
