Charlie is recycling lots of stuff; Steve Vizard (Fast Forward), Judith (Rove), Gleeson (This Week Tonight). Not to mention the who concept and the previous backdrop which is all Last Week Tonight. ---

Judith Lucy is just so unbearable. She’s not funny at all. ---

The whole show is different this season (I haven’t watched since S1 so do correct me if it changed before). The format is a lot different, and less John Oliver-ish. It’s almost a bit like Charlie Brooker’s shows now, the new set is interesting. Not sure what to make of all the changes. ---

Forward guides show that the season 6 final will be Wednesday 3 June meaning there will be six episodes in the season. ---

Is Charlie going to wear the same ugly tablecloth shirt every week? Is this because of ABC cutbacks? 😜 ---

I like Judith Lucy a lot as a stand-up comedian, but both her segments for The Weekly so far have been woeful. I don’t know who thought wasting the time of a public health academic at this point for this week’s segment was a good idea, but it was both un-funny and awkward to watch. ---

The whole ‘what about me’ thing for the Judith Lucy segments is just falling flat and annoying. Luke McGregor on the other hand has been a good addition ---

So Charlie found a jacket this week but still wore the same ugly tablecloth shirt underneath. WTF? Is he trying to do a Karl Stefanovic and wear the same shirt for the whole year? 😜 Or is he in desperate need of another shirt? Where can I donate some of mine? 😜 ---

Is that just a hunch? Idk, I’ve enjoyed it – although the last couple of seasons were better than this one, largely due to not having a studio audience ---

Admittedly, the very first thought which came to mind (especially with the recently announced ABC budget cuts) after reading “special announcement next week” was that it might be the final episode. ---

I feel like it’s really lost it’s way this year content wise. The sad contestant stories of Millionaire Hot Seat, and Bolt’s whiskey segment were funny the first couple of times, but is that all they’ve got, week after week? And Judith Lucy’s interview devolving into madness every single week really isn’t funny anymore either. The Study segment and the news parts are still the strongest parts of the show, I just wish there were less of the same filler.
