| there are no bodies being dissected before your very eyes | April 26, 2009 | Right, by accident I discovered a Billy Connolly travel show at 6:30 on Channel 7. I will watch Billy Connolly do just about anything. Last night he travelled up the east coast of North America as far as the top of Newfoundland. It looked cold and wet. His jubilant approach to anything and everything is […] |
| television in the 71st century | April 25, 2009 | I am working an article today and it connects to something I have previously had published. So going back to that article for the first time to quote myself (as you do!) I noticed that the whole way through all the “2s” have been printed as “7s”. So in the introductory paragraph there is a […] |

| I already have enough cooking shows in my life | April 24, 2009 | Dear Channel 10/ producers of The Biggest Loser/ producers of Masterchef/ Too clever for their own pants promotion people, I know that television is all about the advertising, the branding, and the all round marketing and promotion. But please…the BLATANT INSERTION of a Masterchef style challenge for last night’s contestants under the guise of “seeing […] |

| it’s not “must see TV for me” | April 23, 2009 | Mad Men…ummm. Still in undecided mode about this one. I’m just finding out all too cliched, predictable, and dare I say it, a little bit dull. But is that the point? If so, then I don’t think it’s very clever. If not, well then it’s just not very good. So far though, it’s not “must […] |

| surely reality couldn’t be rigged? | SAD for me I only caught the last 10 minutes of The BIGGEST LOSER last night. Really, though it was all I needed to see as TIFFANY won the Escalator CHALLENGE and won the POWER OF THE WALK. This apparently, is a walk that will CHANGE THE GAME FOREVER.

| The pointy end of the game | April 21, 2009 | Apparently we are now at the POINTY END of the GAME. Suddenly last night, things got moving because it seems (according to my mother) that FINALE is next Monday night. AAAGGGH. That’s choir night. I am now in a terrible quandary. Would I really skip my duties at choir to watch THe Biggest Loser? I […] |
