I hate it when I am Right


So on July 30 I predicted the wave of new cooking shows would be a massive failure, I didn't know this would be immediate, with Restaurant Revolution going from four episodes a week to two to finally one. Shocking.

Now the biggest drama is the court case between Channel 9 & Channel 7 in relation to the copy cat nature of The Hotplate and MKR. The ONLY winner here (like the Bill Shorten commission) is you guessed it the lawyers for the respective channels. Why in fucks name would anyway start playing Cat videos in place of a new reality franchise and then think, oh let's waste some more cash, oh let's start a legal battle that will get us some PR.

Just out of control, PEOPLE AT CHANNEL 7 & CHANNEL 9 LISTEN UP, who in the fuck does your programming? It is TERRIBLE. Decent B Grade and even quality dramas are on at around 11pm on Channel 7, but Cat Videos from YouTube, oh that's prime time or Big Bang Theory re-runs, oh yeah that's primetime.

Australian networks, next month is September, September in the USA marks the return of their killer drama line up, if you weren't hurting now with ad revenues and pathetic ratings, next month you're gone. If it wasn't for pensioners and stay at home types commercial TV would be dead and buried. The final frontier of sporting events is the last win you have SO USE IT. Drama PEOPLE love it, look at the Walking Dead's Facebook, look at what trends on Twitter and try avoiding a Game of Thrones spoiler.

Reality TV, it's now officially done, come on Australian networks it's time to wake up and to quote the Herd - this country needs a fucking shake up, wake up!
