Today Tonight

[Import S13]

Couple of young lebs talking smack, senior citizens complaining and saying nothing useful and TT picking the most retarted people to do interviews to make shit seem worse then it is.

Nothings changed in this media 'hoon' bullshit.

I didn't bother to watch the the show when it aired - more important things to do than watch trash TV - but I did see the ads for it. They showed an image of a blue R34 GT-R torn in half in a horrific accident. This accident occured almost 10 years ago and it was in NSW!

True.

They refused to believe at all that they were breaking the law and driving in a dangerous manner. And that wanker of a ring leader, reckons he's an expert driver after driving for 3 years?!!

yeah well if someone has to remind you how good a driver they are, it's because they're still trying to convince themselves, lol

total rubbish they put on tv these days.

which is why i havent watched tv per se for the last decade, f1 gp and footy matches notwithstanding

and i laugh when the tv execs scratch their heads, wondering why people get on the net and download the shows they want to watch - and its not the fact that people are downloadeding the shows and bypassing the advertising feed that is subjected to all tv shows, no... theyre more concerned about the downloaders not being counted on the 'viewed' demographic... seriously

i had a disagreement with kurt sutter a month ago about this - being that we're in australia and his show 'sons of anarchy' isnt broadcast here, delayed or otherwise - so i download torrents of the show (cause the man is very talented and has made an awesome show - he used to write for 'the shield' too) but my argument is, that the show is released in the states and they dont bother to get distribution in aus, whether it be free tv or cable (we have foxtel here so i KNOW its not broadcast)

thing is, ive downloaded loads of torrents for sci fi shows when they came out, and ended up paying for the dvds a year or so later..

so its a confusing situation - tv is shit. why? cos people dont want to spend money on producing the shows - mainly cause their 'ratings system' doesnt do an effective job...

and when they DO spend money, the broadcast nonsense really f**ks their budgets up

its argued that once the shows hit dvd, then they make their production costs back via royalties, but sometimes I wonder about this logic

what it boils down to tho, is we have shows like home and away and neighbours.... 25+ years each of them... vapid, vacuous, nonsensical pity pulp fiction at its worst, and then u get a show like "Space above and beyond" which was cancelled after a single season, and it was 80% aussie produced too...

download Space above and beyond and pick out the aussie actors like colin friels and bill hunter... theres a tonne of local talent in that short lived show

This is why some of us have set up the following Matt - for what it's worth...

...and so, just because we're older, it doesn't mean that we get less annoyed when a copper wants to inspect the car simply on the basis that we've got stove oven lights on the back panel
