- No, please, ACMA! I'll do anything! Just don't make me prepare an updated handout!

- Too spooky is the Boxcutter's kiss of death. Who will be next?!? I await with baited breath and will surely take a deep breath next time ANY actor's name is mentioned!
- I think the video podcast (boxcutters.net/vlog) has been doctored! If you look very carefully you'll notice John isn't moving at all. Or is that Brett...?

The Herald Sun this week reported on Channel 9’s end of year line up, under the somewhat humorously banner: Nine’s Rating Charge. It referred to a mess of new Nine shows including the ridiculously over the top Damages, Burke’s Backyard Spring Special (I assume Nine ar

Funny thing is, it's not like Seven is even winning the ratings by all that much - but they're definately more together and focussed.
More interestingly, if Nine continues to go down, expect to see them shed some talent - question is, who would Seven want to draft right now, if they could?

Haven't seen Tell Me You Love Me or Flight Of The Conchords, but I've heard good things about both.
No blog post about the new Ten HD channel?

And the new Ten-HD channel that'll be launching in December sounds excellent! Hopefully this'll mean that season two of Torchwood will get a better run on Ten-HD than it did on the main channel! Seven's planning to launch a multi-channel, too.
Exclusive/differing/compelling content (like ABC2, and Seven and Ten's upcoming channels) will be the *only* way to significantly drive up conversion to digital TV.

On other news... "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?" (why are we using an Americanism for the title?) is another lame duck designed to appeal to the lowest of base audiences. I wonder if they realise that the kids all get the questions before going on air so they actually know all the answers where as the "contestants" get nowt.

See? It's actually a *clever* title.
I agree about the name with "5th Grader", but what are they going to do? "Are You Smarter Than A Kid In Grade 5?" isn't as catchy, plus I assume the format is sold all inclusive - title, music etc.
I didn't mind the one ep of 5th Grader I saw a few months back. Much better than the crap they have tried with quiz shows this year, especially the ones where contestants try and psych each other out.

Having received so much bad press, is it likely that Eddie isn't the viewer magnet he once was? Now that he's synonymous with sleaze and boning?
Also, that line-up would have been shit five years ago. What are they thinking?
