Same production company behind MKR, RR & ZJD. Seven operate in a very base and unsophisticated manner toward viewers by rampant repetition of ads with bright graphics and loud jingles designed to stay in your head like a disease and a great bulk of non thinking Aussies lap it up. The process repeats.

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here is the most disgusting show on TV. Too much arguments and antics.
But this show will come back in 2017.
The Project - used to be good back in the days with Charlie, Dave and Carrie. But the show has gone stale with a lot of dribble coming from some of the presenters. I'm not a fan of Waleed and Pete but they are on too often. But Steve Price gave me the S****ts interrupts a lot towards people. Instead, I watch other things.

Don't watch it then. Simples!

Low grade humans that stole three baby marmosets from a private zoo. Animals are not like stealing a mobile phone. Makes me sick with disgust and I hope the police who caught those two "men" wit one of them, can strongly coerce them to reveal the whereabouts of the other two, even if they have to employ "unethical" means to do so.

Photos of folks with their tongue showing through their lips! I can't ******* stand it! It annoys the hell out of me, even more than a Newton driver doing 35 kph on an open road when running 8-12 minutes late.

Same as Shoudy; sick off all the drivel on the TV these days, so generally avoid watching it.
All the same rubbish with a new sob-story over and over. Talkshows are just soapboxes for washed up commentators who think they're experts (count how many times you hear, "Oh, I agree with you, but...."). Let's not touch Daytime TV, that's been a joke for a long time anyway.

It is genuinely at the point where the endless re-runs of M*A*S*H* and the occasional Star Trek episode are they only good things to watch.
Will stick to episodes of "Keeping Up Appearances" and "On the Buses," thanks :) I have "standards" to maintain - somebody important may be watching!

Perth drivers. Need I say more?

"Your scientists were so pre-occupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think whether they should."
Sums up a lot of our so-called technological "progress" at present.

The floor. This buildup or rubbish didn't seem like it was from that morning I saw it on. It's like having expired food/whatever it was sitting the frame for months, which was the case with 440.

A Current Affair - I know that Current affair show has been on Nine for nearly 29 years with a few presenters being hosted. Some of the stories that the presenters read can be disturbing. The use of hooning, fraud, bad supermarkets and drugs are so overused and I am sick and tired of this crap. There was a petition from Change.org that wanted Channel 9 to cancel A Current Affair. This is absolute bogan type of stuff.
Today Tonight - gone from eastern states but kept the bulletins in Adelaide and Perth. These stories have too much bias in it. I used to watch it but now I don't have the passion anymore.

Why do we have Family Feud on 6x per week + morning as well as All Star Family Feud on during one week? I used to see these episodes but now, it's too much overkill especially with the simulcasting on 1 and 11. Denyer is not a bad host, but the dribble coming from him talking to the contestants during Rounds 1-4 is very long. It's a shame that I change channels and watch Nine News Instead.
The Chase Australia - I know that Andrew O'Keefe has a lot of chemistry on Game Shows on Channel 7, however his behaviour is ballistic. His laugh and voice annoy the f*** out of me. The use of strange Italian, French and German accents is just very tripe.

And later a delivery van came. He had to reverse up the one way mall, as he couldn't get through due to that car. Just because you have a disabled permit on your car, doesn't give you a right to park anyway, & block traffic. Suppose he or she will "run" to the media now & whinge that they are disabled & may have got a ticket if he/she did a ticket.

Are you talking about the insect or the bird (an Emu is technically a bird)?

This morning while I was walking the dog, I saw a car that I thought was someone I knew in my neighbourhood(who I have known for some years and have a nice gold AUIII Fairmont), so I waved, the car then pulled up, and I was prepared to have a chat only to find it was in fact someone else, and they yelled "we don't know you, so don't wave at us", then the young guy behind the wheel gave me the bird and drove off, only realised the rego was different when they drove off.

What has happened to our sense of community?

Did he even give you a chance to explain that you mistook his car for someone you knew?
