Really is the same concept isn’t it.

When Housos first started, it was good. But as the seasons went on, the jokes and crude humour has sadly stayed the same and got boring quite quickly. Same with Pizza. Great on SBS. Frail on 7Mate. This is coming as a Paul Fenench fan.
Am sure Local Council will have the same actors in it as all of Fenech’s previous shows, and will have the same sort of jokes and storylines.
I will tune into the first ep, but not being optimistic with this one sadly…

lmao 7plus is still showing border security when theres supposed to be mad max the road warrior on 7mate
Mustn’t have the streaming rights.
According to Sunday Herald Sun’s Fiona Byrne, Dermott Brereton and Elise Elliott will host a new show called Cool Cars premiering on 7mate this March. The show, which has been filming around Melbourne in recent weeks, sees a number of well-known Victorians opening up their garages and taking their four-wheeled pride and joy for spin with the hosts.

Going to assume this is what’s airing in non AFL states on Seven, so they’ve just done the 7 - 7mate switch?

It’s because this is the main channel movie in other markets, so the markets missing out can still watch and also register an audience and they most likely don’t want to muck around 7Two or others just because of a genre/target for one night. There’s been other odd fits on 7mate with this same situation, usually Saturday nights though, such as Finding Dory, The Good Dinosaur, The BFG premieres in 2018. And Pretty Woman, Notting Hill to name a couple more. I guess that channel’s demographic in those markets will all be watching Channel 7’s AFL or another channel, almost like those channel’s therefore switch to 7mate for the tiemslot, yes would probably have a weird impact (although small) on weekly demographic shares for 7mate. Like @Nicholas said.

Dunno?
I haven’t heard much of this in recent months.
Scrolling through both Pauly Fenech and the Housos Facebook pages, most references to “Local Council” were made in late 2022/early 2023. Looked like the filming wrapped up in January. Most posts say “coming soon in 2023” with only one post saying that it might air in March. Well, obviously that time has past. Fenech has done some stage shows in recent times. So maybe the post-production of the show is still ongoing?
