It's Television: Dissected
TV News, Reviews and Interviews
A day late yes, but choc-full of chocky goodness.
This week the man JT, our International Correspondent James Talia joins us live from far away. There are more adventures from the Golden Age of Television. There’s Quotes. And Brett takes us through the weird and wonderful searches that bring people to Boxcutters.
Plus heaps of News, and a helping of Pork.
88 – Late but great:
This came to me from Robert Boxcutter – thought it may help some of you who still use iTunes.
I know you don’t use iTunes anymore but this might be useful to put on the Boxcutters blog for people who have the occasional problem. You know how iTunes sometimes stuffs up and only downloads a portion of a podcast then it won’t let you download it again because it thinks you’ve already got it. Well if you collapse the list of the particular podcast in question then hold Shift on a PC or Option on a Mac then expand it again it will update the list and show you all the ones that you’ve deleted or need to re-download.
Donald Trump has announced there will be no more Apprentice. Despite apparent network keenness Trump is just too busy, although he hinted there may be another TV project in the works.
On the big show this week we have the always fabulous Marieke Hardy, spilling it to us mere mortals about what it is like writing television, writing about television and being on television.
We look at another dodgy scam trying to lure in people with bad credit history and low I.Q.s in I Don’t Buy It.
There is another installment of The Golden Age of Television, featuring two ripper HBO shows – Carnivale and Oz.
And we finally get to the much promised Letters To Boxcutters.

Looks like Jericho is doomed, rumours circulating it won’t be back next season.
Meanwhile 24 has been greenlit for another two season. This should take them through until 2123 in 24 time.
Despite Josh’s understandable reservations, NBC has confirmed Friday Night Lights will be back for a second season.
Hopefully it is good news. FNL is a great show (Not to be confused with local Big Brother spin off Friday Night LIVE which isn’t).
Channel 9 has finally lost patience with Family Feud.
I guess after 18 months of claiming it was ‘building’ when there was no real change in the ratings Nine had to do something. Like the whole Rowe departure you just have to wonder why it has taken this long.
Huge show. Logies wrap, I Don’t Buy Propaganda, Raywatch, Crap TV all top and tailed with News and Pork.
Enjoy.

Last week we heard about a possible Surprise Surprise rehash. Now it appears Channel 7 is going ahead with the Naomi Robson talk show.
It can’t be a coincidence can it? ‘Yes, sure Naomi, you can do your own Springer/Oprah style chat show’ snigger, snigger, snigger.
What other explaination could there be? Surely Channel 7 can’t seriously be considering about a Naomi fronted talk fest.
