Other Shows That Suck

Dead Set

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:30:06 GMT

You've heard of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? Well, this British series is Big Brother with Zombies!

Now, some unkind people might say that some of the Australian seasons of BB have had their fair share of brain-dead morons, but this series is the real deal:

This BAFTA-nominated, five-part zombie horror thriller takes place on the set of the television show Big Brother. Britain has a big problem: the dead are returning to life and attacking the...

Good Game

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:19:03 GMT

Anyone ever watched this? There's a massive shitstorm going down over this program.

This is the ABC's program for computer game people, on ABC2 and repeated weekend mornings on ABC1. They do play tests, reviews, news segments etc.

For a while it has been pretty blokey and has featured a couple of young guys as main presenters, including a fellow called Junglist. Junglist definitely knows about computer games but, well, isn't the world's most attractive...

Fearne and Paris Hilton

feeds@yuku.com (JoelsBigOne) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:08:19 GMT

A good documentary about Paris where you get a really good look through her mansion. Her wardrobe is just insane and is multiple rooms. Its basically the size of my house. Impressive. Download here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2WB2G64K

Man vs Wild

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:46:00 GMT

Anybody seen any of this show on SBS? It's a bit of a giggle.

English fella Bear Grylls demonstrates how to survive in various tough wilderness environments around the world.

Tonight's is the Australian Outback (Kimberley) and I understand he shows you how to drink your own urine. Yum!

In recent weeks he's done the Florida Everglades, where he's shown how to avoid crocodiles and eaten live frogs, and Copper Canyon in Mexico, where he lit a fire...

Momma's Boys!

Is anyone watching this? The best guilty pleasure! I think one of the best dating shows there has been.

The show is your typical dating show, however there are 3 guys. The twist is that the guys mothers live in the house with the girls, which makes a real interesting dynamic as they get to see what the girls are really like, and try to pursuade their sons away from girls they don't like (or to get with girls that they do like).

This show has had so many good moments....

The Amazing Race 15: Episode 4

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Lance and Keri are gone!

In other news, apparently nothing says "Dubai" like... snowmen? Thanks for yet another Moment Of Cultural Irrelevance, show.

Modern Family

Anyone seen this? I'm watching the first episode and its pretty funny.

The Biggest Loser Season 5

feeds@yuku.com (Kolosomo) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:15:59 GMT

It was just announced that former swimmer Hayley Lewis will be the host of the new season. Thoughts?

The Amazing Race 15: Episode 3

feeds@yuku.com (raceguy120390) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:27:59 GMT

So, to recap: The contestants fail to learn from Toni and Dallas that losing your passports doesn't help you win the race. Frankly, Zev and Justin deserve to be eliminated for that.

How is it that only two of the teams managed to identify Jackie O? Even I knew it was her!

The Amazing Race 15: Episode 2

feeds@yuku.com (raceguy120390) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:20:30 GMT

Don't quote me on this, but I think the producers are thinking the Vietnam War is a lot less controversial than it actually is. It doesn't bug me so much about the choice of the Reunification Palace as the Pit Stop, but -- especially when you have a contestant whose father was shot down -- why the hell would you give them bullets as clues?

This season had so much potential after last week, and it's just... not living up to it. Sigh.

Nurse Jackie

feeds@yuku.com (AirPrang) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:49:01 GMT

A week or so ago inthe Flashforward thread Moo mentioned a number of new medical shows coming out that were all, from what he'd heard/read, rather rubbish. I'm no fan of medical dramas, but disagreed that all the shows were rubbish because:

There was an interesting medical drama on Ch10 after Little Britain USA the other week: it centres around a nurse and was very funny, black and bleak in equal measure. She's in her early 40s, has a couple of kids, a husband,...

Best show ever? Discuss.

Beauty and the Geek - Australia

feeds@yuku.com (mirandaspicnic) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:34:03 GMT

Beauty and the Geek - Australia

For the first time in Australia, a group of beautiful women who have relied primarily on their looks and a group of geeky men who have relied primarily on their intellect are paired up to compete as teams in the ultimate social experiment. Hosted by Bernard Curry.

Flashforward

feeds@yuku.com (DimitriaK) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:20:44 GMT

Did anyone watch last night?

It was quite a fast moving 'quick' episode with an interesting concept. I'd love to see how its all explained...as long as it doesnt take too long to get there! these sorts of series should be limited to 2 seasons, so that they dont end up sufferring from 'Lost' syndrome...previously known as twip Peaks syndrome...

Initially I was thinking it was some sort of alien thing, but then there's that bloke who was awake...

Hey Hey it's Saturday reunion

feeds@yuku.com (Survivoreviver) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:17:00 GMT

Hey Hey was an Australian institution. Around for 20 years or so in various forms, it was incredibly popular even though it was incredibly shambolic and, mostly, incredibly crap.

They are doing a couple of "reunion shows" bringing the old team back together (well, most of them) starting this Wednesday.

Hasn't got great crits as it seems a good part of the shows are recycled clips from old shows so it's really more like "Hey Hey By Request...

The Apprentice Australia: 100% Trump-free!

feeds@yuku.com (raceguy120390) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:36:37 GMT

Starts in three hours, at which point I'll probably stop even trying to give off the impression that I'm doing uni work.

The Amazing Race 15 - Episode 1B

feeds@yuku.com (raceguy120390) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:47:51 GMT

One of the best legs this show has seen in a while, certainly since TAR12.

The ducks are officially one of my favourite tasks ever. Loved it.

Are we ever going to see a Detour?

The Amazing Race 15 - Episode 1A (Japan)

feeds@yuku.com (raceguy120390) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:43:19 GMT

Hurrah for live streaming, woo!

The Japan half of this premiere was one of the absolute worst legs this show has ever, ever seen. A bloody disaster. I... really need to calm down before I talk about it.

Little Britain USA

feeds@yuku.com (AirPrang) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:10:09 GMT

Saw this last Sunday night after Rove and it's pretty much anything you've already seen in Little Britain (Britain) but now in the US and with a few new characters.

Carol ('Computer says no') was working as a receptionist in a children's hospital, with all the ensuing emotional trauma you'd expect.
Andy and Lou were checking into a motel with a pool. There's one lady swimmer who'll never be quite the same again.
Marjorie (Fat Fighters) led a...

Inbetweeners

feeds@yuku.com (Twwig) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:10:41 GMT

I caught this show in UK, and bought the Boxed Set back as it was very funny.
Its pretty rude/crude, and risque, but has a cult following. Its called the Anti-Skins, and rating really well.
