I taped the first episode of 'the wedge' lastnight (ch10) while i was at work.
put it on when i got home, and my wife and i sat through it. didnt laugh once. i don't think i even cracked a smile. that would have to be the most random collection of rubbish ever. I mean, it even had "Hotdogs, starring(???) as himself". It appeared to be a bunch of rehashed sketches taken from early 90's skit shows.... one program i'll never be watching again  |

I must admit I didn't watch it, but if the best it had was on the ads, then I don't think it deserves to have a very prosperous future.

yeap pathetic and wont last a month.
God and did they hype it up! The only marginally funny bit was the guys cutting the cords. IMO, there has not been one good aussie comedy show since Full Frontal!

Anyone here seen Bush Mechanics? It was about a bunch of aboriginals who fixed their cars with whatever they could find (sticks and bits of rubbish they just found in the outback). That show is great I love it. They are so funny.

Best ones i remember were when they ran out of brake fluid, mixed up a batch of omo and water, did the trick. Then the fuel pump was on the blink in the old VB, so they rigged up the fuel to be pumped through via the washer squirter, also stuffing the flat tyre full of spinifex to get home. But the best one was when the band were travelling to a gig, they didnt have enough room for the drum kit, so they cut the roof off the car tipped it upside down and towed it behind them! |

Another vote for Micallif, and any of the things he's been in; Full Frontal, Shaun Micallif show, Thank God Your Here etc.
Another original Fat Pizza Fan. Series 1 and 2 were great. Its always something special stopping at the Fat Pizza shop in Chullora with visitors interstate and having a slice there. |

Jeez dont you guys think you're being a little harsh?
It was the first episode afterall, maybe it will get better as time goes on. I'm sure when Full Frontal debuted, alot of people thought it was crap aswell. I thought it was pretty funny though. |

Was pretty ordinary. I managed about 10 minutes before I switched off. Won't be watching again. Lacked humour..............

yeh took a peek last night, but really didnt do anything for me...
Ronnie Johns Half Hour, and Comedy Inc were abosolute ****ers i reckon. Expecially Chopper Reid on Ronnie Johns... Choppers driving school was a classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckoN0...iving%20school |

So very disappointed. The ads looked great. The concept is fantastic - reminded me of the old comedy comapny sketches where ian mcfarlane (no - not the chair of the RBA) did david rabbitborough's documentaries on the suburban australian. I mean, stereotyping the heck out of everyone and then taking the pi$$ has so much potential.
The characters they picked for the wedge looked spot on. Lol - woggy schoolgirl, disgruntled farmer etc. But HOW did they get it SOOOO wrong?!?!?!? Wasnt funny at all, didnt flow. Extremely disappointed. Should have been more kath and kym style with dedicated actors as opposed to one actor playing various characters. At this point id like to second rodderz. Bring back ANYTHING with shaun michalef and i'll watch it. Even if it's re-runs of the shaun michalef show. "This is David McGan.... saying these things to you"

i must admit i didnt watch it, but i thought the whole sandra sultry on the ads was funny, but then that add was shown for weeks and i couldnt give a stuff about bothering to watch the show.
Full frontal used to be a wicked show but i do recall sensing they were running out of ideas before it was later discontinued. +1 vote for the Shaun Michalef show!! anything that man does is gold. other than that i guess its back to Rove. |
