CRAM

Even if this show doesn’t rate, this statement is absolutely correct, it’s good networks are investing in comedy again.

This show could be the one Ten is looking for the 6.30pm Sunday timeslot.
Pete will be a busy man since he also co-hosts The Project on weeknights but in Melbourne. He may have to be absent from the show on some nights in order to film CRAM in Sydney.
Also, won’t CRAM and Have You Been Paying Attention? compete to invite the same group of comedians and celebrities?

Ten had a pretty good track record with comedy throughout the 2000s, at least compared to Seven and Nine. GNW, Rove, Thank God You’re Here, Talkin’ Bout Your Generation and so on, and most recently with Have You Been Paying Attention and Googlebox.

Whenever Seven or Nine tried comedy it was either reliably awful or poached from Ten (TGYH) or the ABC (Kath and Kim). Starting to change but Seven proved with that shitty music quiz a year or so ago that they don’t have a clue how to do comedy.

I hope comedy is a way back for Ten. They need more Aussie content as that’s the only thing which rates at the moment. It also lessens their reliance on those US output deals with have basically bankrupted Ten now.

They also have Russel Coight later on in the year, unless it’s been pushed backed?

Is this show based on an overseas concept? I thought I saw something about a new show like this in Britain or America.

Russel’s alter ego was on HYBPA last Monday and confirmed production is under way.

This will air 7:30 Tuesdays at the conclusion of Shark Tank, that is my guess.

Close, I applied for them, but due to ‘high demand’ they were all gone, :rage:

But the tickets website says the show will be filmed at Fox Studios this weekend (same space as The Voice?). Guess the producers need bigger set to cater for demand.

Someone did a good job updating the FAQ form which was rehashed from Little Big Shots, I’d say that the mention of Fox Studios would be a mistake also.

Interesting how they say TEN and WIN network instead of the TEN and WIN networks.

I’m getting a 90s vibe from their design style and the logo, I like it, looks different to anything else on TV at the moment. I’ll definitely give this a shot when it airs on Ten. Ten usually nails comedy quite well. Hopefully the format is interesting and keeps viewers entertained, and can evolve so the format doesn’t get tired quickly. :slight_smile:
