Just catching up after Easter...

Re the "serious complaint" against The Chaser: perhaps it was the repeat on the Friday of the Marcus Einfeld bit, because that was also the day of his arrest.

"I axed you pacificly..."

Re Ross' rant about the Logies nominations: as I've asked before, how the hell are the finalists determined? Is it just random selection by the networks, or a program or personality they want to push? The examples of John Wood, Blue Heelers and Backyard Blitz really do highlight how ridiculous it is (although I reckon John Wood should be nominated every year for the Gold until he dies - it's a tradition, after all)

Ross, you're an advertising apologist.

I think rove. on Sundays is a good spot for it - the rest of the night is pap or soap, and it's light enough to soothe you into Monday, but as a BB non-viewer I doubt I'll be watching for the next 12 weeks. And brown works well for chocolate.
Josh, do you think you should also consider the size of the studio in your argument regarding desks and guests? If you're at a desk in a smaller studio - like Larry King where there isn't the huge audience, as opposed to Letterman where there is - I reckon the guest is more likely to lean in to the conversation. It's more than just whether there's a physical barrier between them.

Jared - get stuffed. *grin*

Minnie [Driver] is a childhood nickname - her real name is Amelia.

Thanks Ross.
I think it's a combo of: sick of complaining, 9 don't care and channel BT has a wider audience.

Hey Paul

No idea re:Survivor. Last I heard was around Easter, but that has come and gone. I am surprised it hasn't popped back up in its 7:30 getting thrashed by Star Dancers Tuesday slot.

It is interesting though given the fuss at this time last year when Channel 9 delayed Series 12 I think it was for the Pepsi Olympics. This time round nobody seems to care as much. Survivor disinterest? People sick of complaining? A rise in those torrenting? Who knows?

Whatever, it is pretty shabby treatment by Nine.

Hey I know you guys have mentioned it, but I forget, does anyone know when Survivor Fiji is due to be aired here in Aus?

It's not for me, it's for a friend, who doesn't have channel BT.

Paul Boxcutter.

re: YouTube

I think you should avoid the technical hassle and copyright issues of posting actual TV recordings.

Instead, you guys should wear jumpsuits, and use mime and interpetive dance to illustrate the TV shows being discussed.

Of course, that's exactly what the video podcast is like, but it would mean people could just download the best bits.

Wow, I just listened back to the show and we're pretty up for it this week.

When Josh says I Don't Buy It (Lite), he's talking about the subject of the ad not the quality of our discourse.
