Outland on ABC TV….I f***ing love it!

Why the hell isn’t anyone watching this show? Or maybe I should ask “why the hell did so many of the people who watched the first episode not return?” The ratings for TV’s Outland are in the toilet and I have no idea why it isn’t at least a cult hit. The characters are just [...]

What were you watching on TV in 1976?

You’ll need to click on the image above to see the full sized version and to read the program listings. This is an actual scan of a TV Guide issue dated May 8, 1976. TV Guide was an Adelaide-only magazine that competed with the national magazines – TV Week and TV Times. It was smaller, [...]

Hey, Hey Harry Connick Junior…piss off home!

A B-Grade actor. A C-Grade Frank Sinatra impersonator. Yes, it’s America’s Cultural Advisor to Australia, Harry ‘Mammy’ Connick Junior. Harry, here’s a tip: the day Australia needs race relations advice from you, it will be a cold day in hell. Now do us Aussies a favour and catch the next plane back to America.

Oh my gawd – is this Packed To The Rafters’ Hugh Sheridan?

Goodness gracious. Is this really the fabulous multi-talented Hugh Sheridan from Packed To The Rafters when he was a bit younger? Or am I on bad drugs? Check out the video below: The hair is different but flippin’ heck…the facial features look like him! I’ve tried to find out from the internet if it is [...]

The Robinsons on Waltons Mountain

Sometimes there just aren’t words to describe the things you find on the internet.

You need Uncle Sam

Yoda and I had an afternoon of watching classic TV commercials from our childhoods yesterday. It was sad that we actually still knew all the words to these adverts over thirty years later. But we looked at the screen and sang along and laughed our googlies off. Do any of these ads mean anything special [...]

Boy oh boy it’s a Lincoln toy!

When you’re a Channel 7 star you can do anything.

It was bloody hilarious

On Wednesday night I laughed so much I induced a little asthma attack. The furor surrounding the Chaser’s War on Everything and their ‘Make A Realistic Wish Foundation’ is just pathetic. The show is meant to shock and provoke and push buttons. It did all that with this sketch. Yes it was in poor taste [...]

What do you mean ‘white trash Aussies?’

Some raw footage from a TV camera crew interviewing people after a shooting incident in Sydney’s notorious Kings Cross area. Famed for drugs, prostitution, sex clubs, strip joints…and that’s just the nice side of the street. Let’s see what average Aussies have to say about the shooting…

Parker, Well Done!

How uber-camp is this song! I actually have it on a record somewhere. Vinyl of course! And how can you argue with something that was filmed in ‘SUPERMARIONATION’. Oh my god, I loved that word when I was a kid. I had a crush on Virgil Tracy although some people thought his acting was rather [...]
