It's Television: Dissected
TV News, Reviews and Interviews
Great big Episode 64 {aka ep 2 via the waves}.
Some News, some Pork, more Crap TV care of Channel 9 and Weeds (or should that be Wds given the amount they are editing), a look at regional tv and James Talia, Boxcutters’ European correspondent in a north bound train, somewhere in England, via a very dodgy phone line.
What more could you want?

(This is my first go at this, so be gentle!)
Having listened to the Radio Show/Podcast, I thought, how about we start a post with some Tv Song related music.
I’m sure there are enough out there for the summer-fill.
my first two are:
1. Disposable Heroes of HipHoprisy – Television, the Drug of the Nation
2. The “A” Team Theme (because it would be fun to hear) – it’s on the Napolean Dynamite Soundtrack
add more…….
Our first week on radio and… well, WE HAVE A FANTASTIC SHOW.
Now with 50% less news, we get a chance to bring more wonderful segments. Brett looks at My Australia in I Don’t Buy It, Josh looks at guest roles in television series and Ross takes a look at a very special Amazing Race.
We also talk about new Channel 9 shows for 2007.
Love it in different ways:

I was going to do this after each episode, but on second thoughts, I might shift this back to Fridays. It doesn’t seem right on Tuesdays…
One show I took off the list was Australia’s Brainiest Radio Star [7.30pm Thu, 10], as the response would’ve been fairly predictable (“NO: it contains Jo Stanley!”). The only thing I wanna say about this repeat is that the winner was a radio star when the show was taped, but was boned by the time it aired!
Simply copy the following, paste it into the comment box, and edit where necessary – even explain why you made your choice if you like! Dunno what the show’s about? That’s what the links are for!
1) The King Of Queens [7pm Weekdays, 9] – YES or NO
2) Weeds [9pm Tue, 9] – YES or NO
3) Life As We Know It [10.30pm Tue, 7] – YES or NO
4) Australian Princess [7.30pm Wed, 10] – YES or NO
5) Da Kath & Kim Code [repeat; 8.30pm Wed, ABC] – YES or NO
6) The Loop [8pm Thu, 7] – YES or NO
7) 2006 AFI Awards [9.30pm Thu, 9] – YES or NO
Movie: Blast From The Past [9pm Fri, 9] – YES or NO
9) How The Hell Did We Get Here? [7.30pm Sat, ABC] – YES or NO
10) Movie: Flashdance [9.30pm Sat, 7] – YES or NO
Bonus Question: Who should replace Naomi Robson as host of Today Tonight in 2007?
3 Lbs which we spoke about recently has been pulled from American screens.
After weighing the latest Nielsen numbers, net execs confirmed Wednesday that the Peter Ocko-produced medical drama has been placed on hiatus effective immediately… Skein’s low ratings dropped each week it aired, with its overall young adult average of a 2.7/7 down 16% from that of previous slot occupant “Smith.”
– Variety
Meanwhile, NBC has given the thumbs up to 30 Rock and ordered a full season. The series was moved from its Wednesday night timeslot to Thursday 9:30 were it could be surrounded by other comedies. The move worked and ratings were up 13%.
… Tonight’s the night.
Tune in to 3RRR 102.7MHz in Melbourne or listen through http://rrr.org.au/player/rrr.ram if you’re out of town.
Alternatively you can wait for the podcast.
Update
That would be at 7pm tonight on 3RRR. Thanks, Loyal Listener Lyndal.
Just a quick reminder for all those expecting to download an episode tonight or over the weekend.
We’re taking a break for this Thursday and will be back live on the air this Tuesday, 5 December. That’s right. From 7pm AEDT (that’s GMT +1100 for those who can do the maths) you will be able to listen to Boxcutters live on 3RRR.
The show will still be podcast for those who can’t get to a radio or maybe some of you have one of those special radios that only pick up the cricket.
Those of you who are not within range can still listen live on the web.
Go to http://rrr.org.au and click on “Stream” on the left hand side. Brett has mentioned an alternative to Real Player. Maybe he can help us out in the comments.
Naomi Robson has quit Today Tonight. The details are at The Australian‘s ‘Media’ section.
But remember people . . .
Here’s the footage from the club where Michael Richards ‘flipped out’ – to use his own expression – and a snippet from the apology on Letterman. The CBS site has the full apology here
