| Favourite TV Monday Milk Moment | July 7, 2009 | The cup of tea Keitha made Big J on Flight of the Conchords last night. It was a sight to behold (especially the use of the leftover cereal milk). If you missed it, you missed out in a big, funny, New Zealand kind of way. |
| “we’re not invincible we’re vincible” | June 28, 2009 | I’ve spent the last week or so rationing myself to one episode per day of Flight of the Conchords Series 1 and finally finished today. I never managed to catch it before due to Channel Ten’s poor programming and my lack of TV recording equipment (a situation that we are all aware is now remedied). […] |

| beauty and tosca | June 12, 2009 | These two performances made my Friday evening of television memorable. Firstly, Elvis on his own. And then, Renee Fleming singing this fabulous aria from Tosca. This is one of the very few pieces of music which has ever moved me to actual tears. (The other was a live performance of Britten’s Ceremony of Carols after […] |

| Black-hole humour vs it’s all about the song | June 6, 2009 | This being a blog that describes itself as all about televsion I should probably say something about the whole Chaser controversy, so here it is: I don’t care. I don’t watch “The War” because I don’t find it funny and never have. CNNNN was a far superior effort by this group of so-called comedians. I […] |

| What Wendy Watched: Sunday Morning Coming Down | May 30, 2009 | Did I really hear the host of Collectors use the term “intarweb” last night? I just don’t know that the target audience for Collectors would be familiar with that word. But then, perhaps I am mistaken about the target audience for Collectors. Maybe I was drifting off as I waited to watch Elvis Costello on […] |

| "I’m Shaun either way aren’t I" | May 26, 2009 | Many years ago, I wrote my Honours dissertation on something I very grandly named “Postmodern Satire”. The clip above from The Micallef Pogram was one of my central examples. At the time I had to rely on vhs recording technology and the coincidence that I just happened to be watching the ABC on the night […] |
