#AngryBoys on Twitter: What does everybody else think?
I started to worry that I was among the minority that were criticising Angry Boys for not being funny... at all.I mean, not worried in the sense that "Oh, no-one's going to like me because I don't like the same thing they do..." I mean "worried" in the sense that I was missing some crucial element in the show that made it screamingly hilarious. However, after turning to Twitter, it turns ...

Here's the biggest TV story of the day, the week and even the month; Spicks and Specks will end at the end of this year.

Larry David's back for Season Eight of Curb Your Enthusiasm and this time it's set it New York. It will guest star Ricky Gervais, Michael J Fox and Rosie O'Donnell, among others. This recently released trailer looks fantastic. The TV Addict has assembled the fall schedule for 2011-2012, and it looks to be a tough a battle as ever- though I'm sure people say that every year.

In Australian news, after the Brynne Edelsten controversy, now Manu Feildel is being accused of being sexist on Dancing With the Stars due to his comments in regard to his partner "bossing him around" in his kitchen. It doesn't really warrant much talking about, as even though on the surface they might seem slightly sexist, there is obviously no malice attached to them, especially given Manu's look of mystification after the comments were made. What made it wore, apparently, was the fact that the ...

Angry Boys Episode 2 Review: Not-so-Mighty S.mouse
Source: abc.net.auThis isn't to say that the first episode was terrible, it just didn't live up to the hype generated by his previous track record.

And let me get this clear- I really want to like this series, as I'm sure everyone else does, however, ...

ABC has its music quiz show in Spicks and Specks and its sports quiz show in The Trophy Room. So how does this stack up?Well, first off Eddie McGuire as host : he did the job just fine, there was never ...

Angry Boys Review: Good, but not Hilarious - A Dangerous New Direction for Lilley?
At first, I didn't care if Angry Boys was going to be the funniest thing I had ever seen. The fact is, we know that Chris Lilley can do funny. In fact, he can do it very well, HBO-standard well. He's shown us this by contributing two of the funniest Australian series to ever grace our screens. Lilley could have easily served up Summer Heights High 2. Almost too easily, as it would be another certain hit, given the success of the first. He even could have brought back Jonah, as by definition, he ...
