I don't think I intend to have a running commentary on idol every week - but this week i have alot to say the show opened with Emilia - regular readers will know she's my least favourite - she sang Anyone who had a heart -- I love this song -- I love this song when it it sung by those soprano 60's singers with hig voices -- Emelia doesn't have a high voice - it's very low - and this song was bad imo - the judges disagreed with me - but i think they want Emelia to be the next Cosima - so th...

After many many years being more then four years behind the United States Days of Our Lives and Young & the Restless are playing catchup Today at 1pm (and tomorrow at 1pm) there will be a one hour special where they catch up the last four years storylines and tie up all the loose ends before screening episodes that are only 6-9months behind America. Last week on DOOL - Abe agreed to adopt Marlo's baby making Lexie (and Stefano) pretty happy, Kate is having an affair with Nicholas -- whi...

I was watching Neighbours last night for the first time in a couple of weeks and they were introducing a new character - who was clashing with Sky -- and Nick walks in the room and says "Oh it's the lesbian" and I said What? What are you talking about? He's like "yeah I read it on News.com.au - she's a lesbian. I thought - News.com.au reported that Neighbours was going to have a lesbian character? This isn't news -- It's not even new. Home & Away had lesbians like 5 years ago (Shan...

For the last three night's I've been forgoing all my usual tv programs and watching a tele-movie on the ABC. I watched the Oscar's earlier this year so I heard a little bit about Angels in America (hereafter referred to as AiA or Angels depending on what I type try to keep up) when they were talking about the nominations it received. I knew it would be a quality movie looking at the cast - Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Emma Thompson, Mary Louise Parker - the list goes on but I had no idea th...

Oh my gosh - you guys I'm way excited. Okay so last week was the series final of Strictly Dancing so this left me with a hole in my schedule what would the ABC put on to fill that timeslot. the answer classic MOTHER & SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh that show is like so classic -- think keeping up appearences but zanier. It's about this eldery woman who's going senile - sometimes - it's selective which is FUNNY and she has two sons - Arthur who lives with her takes c...

I just found out they're repeating early episodes of Neighbours on channel 10 at 11:30am weekdays!!! Very exciting - not to mention the Blue Heelers repeats at 2pm and the Nanny repeats at 3pm.

I was thinking about Teegs eyebrow thing and Harold Holt was brought up - and I described him incorrectly - i said something about him being slightly balding and pudgy. In the photo I have in front of me from the March AWW he's quite slender - no skinny but you know muscular - and I couldnt see his hair it was under a snorkel - but his eyebrows are very non-distinct. So then I said I was thinking of a different Harold who drowned. Harold Bishop (Neighbours) back in like 1992 (???) went t...

Okay that was so long but it was going to be longer - these are some of the Australian movies your should watch if you haven't already. Bad Eggs Blackrock (look for a very young Heath Ledger) The Castle Dating the Enemy Doctors & Nurses - THIS is SOOOO classic - it's kids pretending to be adults and anyone who's anyone in 1981 makes cameos like Bert Newton. Hercules Returns - another absolute classic with Mary Coustas "Effie" oh man I can't even describe how good this movie is go ou...

**Edit*** -- Inspired by Muggaz' Australia the 53rd (although he possibly meant 51st?) State article I wanted to update this blog an highlight just the programs that are still being screened in bold and the programs being repeated in bold italics. ************************ I was watching Rove Live last night and I fell asleep typing this blog in my head. Anyone who knows me knows I'm like a total tv nut. My mother-in-law tells me I'm wasting my talents and should be an entertainment journ...
