To Do List: The Office Season 8

0 comments

(Minor season 8 spoilers) It's hard to believe, but the Office has made it to an eighth season, and while it still ranks among the top comedies on TV- both ratings and critically wise- it is showing some natural signs of wear and tear. And with the exit of the most central character and star in Steve Carrell's Michael, will the show be able to find a new spark, or will it be the show's ...

Teaser: The Office new boss to be a new cast member?

0 comments

Surely, after all this stringing out of the new Office boss talk (which realistically began soon after Steve Carrell's departure was announced), they wouldn't introduce another outsider into the mix? Well that seems to be the case, as, in addition to James Spader, there will be another addition to the cast, who may step into the boss' chair.  Here's the quote from NBC Chicago: "...they've kept a lid on the revelation of a SECOND major cast add, a mysterious someone who'll step into ...

A quiet word on last night's Joy of Sets

0 comments

OK, so we've all had a night to stew on the Joy of Sets... The show itself was a unique beast - at least in Australia- as there has been no show with so much critical acclaim, and the biggest madly devoted cult following, as that of Get This (or the team of Tony Martin, Ed Kavalee and the late Richard Marsland). This show was almost never going to live up to expectations, and even ...

5 Second News: Geelong vs West Coast to be live across Australia on Ten

0 comments

The match will kick off at 2:20pm, and AFL fans should consider themselves very lucky with this news, as Ten have shown nothing but contempt for Footy fans since they lost the AFL rights. And, as is the case with the Grand Final, it most likely won't be broadcast in HD- so tune into Channel T ...

Review: At Home With Julia: Style with not much Substance

0 comments

While this new ABC comedy based on the life of Prime Minister Julia Gillard is superbly acted, it isn't as funny as you would hope it to be.  So, no one knew quite what to expect coming in to this show, but the big questions were; "Is it necessary?" and "Is it a unique, comedic look at our flagging leader?" Well, let's start with the positives: The show looks great; from the actors, ...

Heads Up: The Joy of Sets to premiere Tuesday September 20

0 comments

At long last, Channel Nine has decided on an air date for the much-anticipated show, The Joy of Sets... Or the televised incarnation of Get This. It's September 20, where it has a timeslot of 9pm Tuesdays. Don't know about you guys, but I think I have some unrealistically high expectations for the show, but if it's even half as good as Get This was, Tony (Martin) and Ed (Kavalee) ...

News: Wild Boys beats Underbelly in its premiere, but Australian drama the big winner!

0 comments

Australian drama seems to be in the best shape it has been in in recent memory, with the top two shows on Sunday being Wild Boys and Underbelly. Wild Boys pulled 1,674,000 for its premiere, topping the night, and giving Seven yet another hit Australian drama. Its early time slot in 7:30pm didn't hurt it, and Nine didn't put up much opposition with a fairly weak 60 Minutes. However, Nine wouldn't be too disappointed, with Underbelly:Razor grabbing 1,550,000 (though Seven still won the night). ...

News: The Big C Renewed for a Third Season

0 comments

Showtime has decided to renew quirky drama The Big C for a third season. While this while please fans of the Laura Linney show, as well as Channel Nine, who broadcasts the show on their digital channel GEM, other people will be a bit puzzled by this news. I for one am one of them; the show started off as a fairly decent drama about a woman with cancer, but has developed into a show with bizarre plots and a revolving door of guest stars that would leave many wondering where the show is going. Nonetheless, ...
