Reality Bites on Aussie TV when there is a drought of good drama

Australian TV is at an all time low, anyone knows me knows I love Australian music, Australian film and even yes Australian TV series.  In the past we have had the amazing "Love My Way", "Tangle", "Satisfaction", selected "Underbelly" series and then even some trash with "Rescue Special Op's".  The sad thing is most of these are on pay TV.  And now commerical TV still thinks "Packed to the Rafters" speaks to regular Aussie I am a little unsure the commerical networks are thinking outside the box.

It is a little sad that this week a carbon copy of Packed to the Rafters is launched on Nine and among these two dramas we are jam packed full of, wait for it, reality TV.  TV which besides obtaining the rights for the said series the costs of these shows are so small and mean no new dramas are created.  Why if these shows are so cheap to make?  Because the cost to obtain the rights for the Voice are so outrageous and the judges (mainly the international ones) are paid a fortune!

So am I being a little silly about reality TV?  Well tonight let's take a peak at what's on.

Masterchef
The Block
The Voice

And Seven has decided not to battle it out and will in turn play a movie from the last decade.

So what else have we got on offer this week:

Dancing with the Stars series 470
The Shire Revealed - FUCK ME!
Australia's Got Pretty Much No More Talent to discover after 17 series of this show

And the main issue I have is Australia's got Talent and the Voice, similar concept and so overdone now and not well like the UK X Factor and can I hear a BRITNEY Spears!  Yes Britney has signed onto to be a judge of the US X Factor, hello Britney in place of Delta stop sucking Seal off in the ad breaks.

Good Grief!

Also these shows are not just on once a week, Masterchef and 7 O shot myself @ the Block is on every week night.  Thank god for the movies this week as I will avoid the abortion that is prime time TV.

Rant over, Channel Ten, Channel Seven & lastly poor old Channel Nine, wake the fuck up, produce some quality drama's or bring some decent HBO, Showtime or American cable shows over as your currently line up blows more than a gay pron star in a 14 jock group orgy.

Have a super day all and thanks for reading!
