In a huge episode this week we have our resident Doctor of Lost, Justin Hamilton, in to talk about the season finale. We also have some Crap TV, some Crap Press, the second last Golden Age of Television discussion, and a decent helping of Pork as well as the week’s news.

Episode 96 is crunchy, tasty and goes well with milk:

Tell us what you think!

Trust us - even if you have only got Dodo broadband this weeks show is worth a quarter of your monthly download.

In the Golden Age of Television we look at a couple of ‘the’ shows - namely The Shield and The Wire.

There is also double trouble in I Don’t Buy It focusing on two different types of rip offs.

There’s some chat about reality show On The Lot. Plus News and Pork.

And stay tuned for details of our long awaited Crumpler Beanbag comp giveaway! (see below)

Our long anticipated Boxcutters competition is now underway.

All you need to do is spread the word about Boxcutters, in any way you want - the more creative the better - bring new visitors to the site with your special URL and you’ll be in the running for a Crumpler bean bag of your own.

If you want to enter, send us a message to let us know, through the Boxcutters contact form, so we know how to contact you.

You’ll have to be registered on the site to make your special link so we can make sure we have a unique address for you to use.

How does it work? I’m glad you asked. The link you want to send people to begins with http://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid= followed by your username on the blog. My username is brett, so the URL I’d put out is http://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid=brett

For our unusual users with more than one word in their username, where there’s a space, enter “%20″. So, if my username was brett boxcutter, the links would be http://www.boxcutters.net/blog/index.php?compid=brett%20boxcutter

It seems complicated but remember: you can always get in touch and we’ll explain it some more.

As you spread the word, put a link to where your link is posted, or describe your strategy, in the comments on this post.

The competition is open until 11:59pm on Sunday, September 30, at which point the winner will be decided by the judging panel (Brett, Josh and Ross) based on the number of visitors brought to Boxcutters, with extra points for style and creativity and minus points for shenanigans.

Happy Promoting!

Thanks to David Boxcutter for all the monkeys.

Thursday night viewing (including Sea Patrol, The Great Global Warming Swindle and Age of Love) are discussed. Brett does not buy bad Scottish accents, Ross looks at the politics of Raywatch, Josh professes his love for John From Cincinnati. Also, News, Pork and two network shows in Golden Age of Television.

That’s all in Boxcutters Episode 94. It’s a podcast all about television and all about you.

Send us your comments!

Big ep.

James Talia calls up for a chat and a special Raywatch. We go in depth on ‘Who Killed Channel 9?’. Plus News, Quotes, Pork and other other general good stuff.

93 - made to enjoy.

Emotions:

Thoughts.

US publication TV Guide has just published a list of what they consider to be the top 30 Cult TV Shows of all time.

I don’t know about you but I can’t understand how The Simpsons gets in there but Arrested Development misses out. Then again, they don’t seem to have listed any criteria or even seek to define what a “cult” show might be.

Of course, magazines have a tendency to create lists in the hope they will be talking points. In that way this list is no different to Who Weekly’s most intriguining people lists. Similarly, it was probably created in a half-hour meeting with people just shouting names at someone writing them on a white-board.

For your perusal, here’s the list: TV Guide Names the Top Cult Shows Ever

Well, it looks like the money men aren’t afraid to sack some execs and make some real changes around channel 9.

The Nation has obviously been a surprise hit so they’re taking it out of the soft Tuesday night lineup and throwing it into the high profile Wednesday 10:30 slot. I wonder if Mick Molloy will be able to take the increased pressure.

On its last Tuesday night airing, The Nation pulled 548,000 viewers nationwide.

(Josh says: “Read the article from the Age.”)

Ross is away so Josh and Brett get to play - getting down and dirty with funny-guy and Rove writer, Gerard McCulloch.

Golden Age of Television gets all Joss Whedon on yo ass with Buffy and Firefly.

There’s a couple of big calls as we have a chat about new variety pilots at 7 and speculate on which one will win out.

Rounded off with news and Pork, this week’s Boxcutters is a great part of any televisual diet.

Go get some:

Let us know you think.
