  1. Oh dear. Looks like Graham Norton has been bumped by TEN. Not listed for this coming Sunday night (as far as I can see). Anything been announced by TEN as yet, please David?

  2. Looks like Law & Order Seasons 21 & 22, the original series will finally be shown here on the Foxtel One channel.
    Listed on their coming soon web page for 21st November.

  6. Was any part of the old houses required to be used in The Block this year? Whilst this is the only ep of the series I watch, simply looking at the before and after shots tells me this is no longer a reno show, it’s a new build show…

    2. It’s definitely one of Netflix’s better offerings. Never dips below being ok but is consistently great. It’s a deep show that tackles a lot of taboo subjects with clever writing and excellent acting. I can’t help feel that along with Big Mouth that I wish I had a show like this when I was in my teens… the internet was in its infancy back then so the stuff I leant about sex was organic… I would’ve liked a heads up on a few things haha.
      Anyway, I have to admit though that the most misleading title of a show still goes to PEN15, because that housed an incredibly deep show that went way beyond anything I was expecting.

  8. I’ve noticed a few days ago that the Foxtel TV Guide App no longer has any FTA channels listed on it , it was a good app to set reminders for shows but it’s all now just Foxtel programs, anyone know why this has happened.

      1. No , mines just the app I downloaded for the FTA programs, I don’t have Foxtel but it was a good guide to have ,thankyou anyway for the reply 👍.

  9. Ever since Binge added the news channels to stream, casting any live tv from binge to the tv is dropping out every 5-10mins making it unwatchable this way. Anyone else having the same issues?

  11. I can’t find a date for Gilded Age S2 on Paramount Plus. Last year it was only two days behind the US. David, do you or any of your readers have any info? I know it was included in their upfronts the other week for Paramount shows. First ep aired Sunday US time.

  13. Yes, I know that its most recent host, Shelley Craft is very busy as a real estate agent and as a co-host on The Block, but should a revival of Australia’s Funniest Home Videos be possible today?

      1. Yes, but even the many international versions of the show still airing, including the USA version, have even incorporated viral videos from YouTube et al.

    1. What you find offensive isn’t offensive to others. What you describe doesn’t breach any guideline and a classification indent is shown at the beginning of each episode re its theme. The onus is on the viewer to exercise control. Should one find material offensive on broadcast television, use the remote control supplied with your tv. A broadcaster shouldn’t need to excise scenes because a minority take offence.

  17. A truly bizarre thing very late night on 7 last night-a Swiss made series called ‘Tschugger’, entirely in a Swiss German dialect! Something like ‘Death In Paradise’ but set in the Alps-one could imagine it being a filler on SBS but how on Earth did it end up on commercial FTA?!

  20. With the growing number of FAST channels, I wish there was a direct way to access them all from one source rather than within multiple apps. The Samsung TV Plus app has a few good news channels, but I only have access to that on the newer tv in the bedroom. Surely with internet enabled TV, they can be shown as normal channels the guide.

  21. I have never watched Bluey (I know/my bad)…but reading a 2021 interview…I would say the music is a big part of its appeal…classical…..Much of Disney’s early success was for the same reason.

  22. Memo Ch 9. If you are going to produce a real estate show based on beachside living, I would think that direct access to, or at a minimum, views of sand and / or open water would be mandatory component of the show. I’m not sure showing us houses 3 miles up a hill from a river can be classified as beaschside…

  24. Hi David, or anyone if they know,
    I haven’t seen the Adelaide Christmas Pageant in more than a decade since I moved. Given the advent of streaming, I was wondering if anyone knew which channel it would be on so I can see if I can change the location on one of the BVOD streamers to watch it next weekend.

  25. Email newsletter…..Celebrity Gogglebox was even worse than anticipated….and the media feeding frenzy around Melissa Leong was just plain shocking….

    1. What was wrong with it? It was great better than the normal. But was it only a once off? Is there more? I love the British celebrity version too, it’s a hoot.
