Title: Channel 10 are pissing me off!
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on March 10, 2004, 04:06:19 PM: What's with Channel 10 these days? Why do they keep changing the time slots for The Simpsons, especially new episodes? I rarely remember to watch these days, and yesterday (that's Wednesday), I nearly missed the new episode until my sister reminded me a minute before it started. Over the last 2 years, I've missed countless new Simpsons episodes, whereas before then I only missed, like 3. Stupid Channel 10, they think I'll remember the new time slot every so and then.

Same with Channel 7 and Futurama. Argh. I haven't remembered to set up my VCR since last year.

Oh, and I would like someone to turn "Monkey Trauma Center" into a animated series!

Simpsons are on at 6pm as always (even though they old episodes), but the new episodes, even if they are crap and Channel Ten knows it, they should leave it at 7:30pm Wednesdays, which is where I'm used to them being at.
And I think the sh*t thing about Ten is that they are showing the SAME old episodes again and AGAIN and AGAIN. I've seen one episode twice this year already.

Post by: RABicle on March 10, 2004, 10:31:10 PM: There's a simple solution guys, just watch Iron Chef on the SBS (7:30 Saturday) and Ali G on ABC (9:00 Thursday). That's all the weeks tv viewing for me.

I DON'T REMEMBER SAYING THAT!

And the only essential viewing on Australian TV is Micallef Tonight.

Oh wait.

I think I'm going to cry...again.

Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on March 11, 2004, 12:17:33 AM: Its just that I rarely watch network TV nowadays (too much reality TV junk), so I easily forget to watch the shows I mentioned. And changing time slots doesn't help.

And I should give Iroooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn Chef a watch!

Post by: Termin8Anakin on March 11, 2004, 12:53:37 AM: Micallef Tonight was cancelled after what, 5 shows or something wasn't it
I think they tried to do something like David Letterman and Hey Hey It's Saturday - that variety genre.

And no, i don't want them to not show the older episodes. I love the older episodes, but they should show OTHER older episodes rather than the SAME ones every six weeks.
The one I would like the to show is teh 138th episode extravaganza

Largo: Twenty. Your move, Mr Bond
Bond: I'll take a hit, dealer........Joker.......you were supposed to take those out of the deck
Homer: Hahaoh sorry. Here's another one
Bond: What is this card.....rules for draw and stud poker?
Largo: What a PIT-TY Mr Bond!"
Bond: BUt....but it was Homer's fault! I didn't lose. I never lose! Well at least tell the details of your plot for world domination!
Largo: Hohohoho I'm not going to fall for that one again

They run the same episodes a lot, I mean a lot. I could probably see the same episode twice in a MONTH.

Post by: Ocarina Blue on March 11, 2004, 08:11:57 PM: Hmmm... Do you guys get teh show "John Saffron'susic Jamboree" over there still? I think it's channel 10. They stopped showing here

Post by: Termin8Anakin on March 12, 2004, 01:22:54 AM: ummm nope
Title: RE:Channel 10 are pissing me off!
Post by: Aussie Ben PGC on March 16, 2004, 12:17:55 AM: Music Jamboree? Bloody awesome show, that. It was on SBS for its run of...twelve episodes, I think. I managed to snag a copy of it on DVD along with Donnie Darko for the cheap cheap price of $40 all up at Borders (which is probably why it's not on TV anymore). Whoo!

There we are. Two disc set. That's the average price, if you can find it cheaper than that, good luck.

Post by: DrZoidberg on March 16, 2004, 01:36:04 AM: I LOVE MUSIC JAMBOREE! and they had awsome acts playing various songs using varying instruments at the end, acts like TISM and Frenzal Rhomb, top class stuff. i'd definatly get the DVD if i saw it some place
