AimzsterReality TV on Ten. Seriously.
August 27th 2006 06:56
What happened to my lovely Girlband show? I just checked tonight’s TV guide and it’s not listed! Ohmigosh why not??? Did they take my comments that seriously?
Since not many of us knew the show existed (until I brought it up), this week the girls were going to finally showcase their talent in an actual show! I was hankering to see if they can sing and dance at the same time without missing a beat. But sadly, TV Guide says no – only to be replaced by another episode of the Simpsons that the timeslot definitely deserves.
Ooh! Turns out they decided to broadcast the show at 1130am on Sunday instead of 6pm. Don't they know everyone is too hungover to watch it at that time? Perhaps they are trying to target the young tween market...
Which brings me to the next planned hour of reality TV. Meerkat Manor – this is a joke right? After a few weeks of mild promotion for this show making it sound like a big deal (but I’m not buying it obviously), this show has to be a joke. Bold and the Beautiful meerkat-style? Who knew meerkats in southern Africa to have such entertaining lives than Brooke from B & B carrying on her incestuous affairs?
Anything for cheap TV I guess. But after a quick check on You Tube, it turns out the stupid voice over chick makes the show look bad. It's actually pretty decent without the awful narration from that girl. Here's the preview...
And the next show up for cancelling is It’s Me or the Dog. Anyone have any idea what this is about? Neither do I but a quick summary reveals this tantalising tale…
“In just one minute dog behaviourist Victoria Stilwell can take control of any dog and she's determined to bring even the baddest dogs back in line.”
- Australian TV Guide
Whoever wrote that copy should be shot.
And then we are finally brought back to real reality with Australian Idol. Is it just me or is Lydia Denker the same chick who sang ‘One Perfect Day’ for the movie of the same name a few years back. My…what has she done to her hair....?
I haven’t gotten a favourite just yet. I haven’t seen enough of them to make any real judgement on the actual talent that the judges have picked. Methinks the voters are gonna get it wrong this year, even after a lot of biased judging we’ll still get it wrong.

Perhaps you should get a blog and lament about TV!

Then Mike Goldman (how he got to be in Cleo batchelor of the year I still don't know) rears his head up and says something like 'you got to watch your housemates in the bb house this year, now you get to see native housemates in the wild' Then up pops a meerkat's head. - wtf?
Ten may have all the bad publicity going for them at the moment with thier will they/won't they cut the show. But, seriously ten?
