You’re right. Not sure why I was noticing it more this time.

Sheldon Cooper’s virtual presence device was more convincing than Russel Howcroft’s.

They could just do the show without Russell, couldn’t they?

Does it matter? You can only tell he’s not there in the wide shot. Generally his contribution is the same as when he is in the studio with them.

Season 12 Finale

image

Wednesday 16 December at 8.30pm

It’s the year everything stopped… except advertising. So, Gruen didn’t stop either. Gruen’s season finale continues as marketing secrets are unmasked faster than a conspiracy theorist in Bunnings.

Joining Wil Anderson are advertising insiders Todd Sampson, Russel Howcroft, and their expert panel.

The whole world may have changed but one thing remains true: as long as there’s advertising, there’s bullshit. And if you can find a better bullshit detector than Gruen, we’ll beat it by ten percent.

Gruen - Series 13

Wednesday 13 October 8.30pm

Australia’s most loved and only show about advertising is set to return for its 13th season.

Same show, all new ads. Host Wil Anderson is joined by a crack team of experts including Russel Howcroft, Todd Sampson, Dee Madigan, Karen Ferry, Christina Aventi, Sunita Gloster and Priya Patel.

The team will decode and expose all the messaging we fall for, skip through and report for inappropriate content. Whether it’s a juice label that thinks it’s your long lost best friend, a gorgeous white line design on a Kmart plate, a branding crisis for Delta Air or a national broadcaster that suddenly wants all your personal data, nothing will escape the Gruen gaze.

Gruen, the multi award winner (and loser, because truth in advertising matters) is back to enjoy another season of broadcast television before inevitably being reduced to a 7 second sponsored #ad on TikTok.

Production credits: A CJZ and ABC co-production. Executive producers: Nick Murray, Wil Anderson and Polly Connolly. ABC Executive Producer Nick Hayden.
