Friday-
Waleed,Gorgi,Meshel Laurie and Becky Lucas on the show,also interview with Rove.
What I like about The Project is itās pace. Packages are under 3 minutes (and are often comical) and interviews are lively. This new opener is a part of it- love it.
I like it but the music is too LOUD!
I canāt hear what theyāre saying in parts of it. It would be better to turn it down while the headlines are read out.
I agree. But donāt get rid of the music all together (even during the 7pm headlines) as it keeps things snappy.
Iām not saying get rid of it. Again, all Iām saying is itās too LOUD!
Get your walking stick out grandpa and hit that screen
Itās probably like the trick they do with commercials, put the sound up to get peopleās attention that the show is on.
FFS. Iām saying its too loud and you miss the headline or the snippet of comment they play.
Iām not saying I canāt hear any of it, you recalcitrant.
ADORE this opening. Itās bang-on the direction they need to be going - offering an alternative news broadcast, with a side of humour.
Itās basically the CBS Evening News package with its use of still photography:
My Grandfather uses ear plugs sometimes when watching tv. Perhaps that might help
Only when youāre around. Maybe thatās because he canāt handle listening to you any more. I know how he feels.
I have been wondering why he always falls asleep when I am around.
In all seriousness I do agree that the music could be dialled back a notch when they are reading the news. I like how they are doing it to grab the attention.
I donāt like the music playing while their reading out the news headlinesā¦and shock horror lām agreeing with @JBar itās way too loud .
It was bound to happen againā¦eventually. Buy yourself a lottery ticket because today is your lucky day.
Thursday-
Peter Van Onselen is filling in for Waleed tonight.
Dare I say as an American that The Project does it better than CBSEN.
What kind of idiot does a somersault with a gun in his pocket?
It was just a general question after watching that CBS Evening News clip.
