Tuesday is TV Day!

As I hear My Kitchen Rules in the background of my one bedroom inner Sydney City flat I really wish the three main Australian Channels (Nine, Ten & Seven) would have zero Australian content, saving us from another series of Australia's Got Talent, The Biggest Loser or X Factor, but no the same old shit gets rolled out year after year, extending the finals to go over to try and beat the other channels new mega million dollar reality train wreck.  And then I look at the last two nights of US TV.

With the return of Game of Thrones all major Torrent sites crashed last night, Marilyn Manson returned on the season finale of Californication and Shameless the US remake lead into the season finale with cliffhanger's a go go.  Not only did HBO launch into series three of the ratings and cult killer Game of Thrones they also gave us a taste of the tasty sixth season of True Blood. Less Alan Ball and hopefully for fans return to it's glory days the preview gave us little but it also gave us hope (queue Barack Obama speech):



With Revenge also airing and now in hiatus till late April the American screens have been hot with new and old drama and non reality based programs. Bates Motel has had a strong start for a new series and aired it's third episode with new season winner The Following almost wrapping up a killer first season. It's ratings have been a winner and it appears everyone loves them some Kevin Bacon.

So really drama is alive there is some great writers and ideas out there, just none of them on our major networks, HBO, Showtime & multiple other major US channels are just killing it, while back home ABC & SBS seem to be the only stations with some creative flair. Thank god for Josh Thomas's recent honest drama/comedy in "Please Like Me", it was six episodes of Steps madness (you'll get it if you watched the series) and really made me smile from episode to episode.

Come on Australia pull ya finger out and put on some decent telly cause right now as I advised my Mummy Sharda there are some killer shows out there right now and now of them are homegrown hits.
