Phil Toinby’s ties would never be allowed on television these days.

Back in the 90’s Southern Cross aired a sketch show at Christmas which had a skit like this with Steve Titmus doing the news and I think there may have been a cross to other reporters (or reports filed back in that time) - e.g. “Today in Hobart, nothing happened. In Launceston… nothing. Two birds crossed the road in Burnie.”
It was a sketch show that was done by John X (Xintavelonis) and Craig Wellington and would have been around 1994 at a guess.

Does anyone else remember that breakfast TV show sketch I remember they were lampooning American shows where they would all continuously say good morning to each other from in studio to crosses? Was it Full Frontal. SNL. Comedy Inc or other?

The sober moron did make me chuckle.
I just can’t get over the actors looking and sounding nothing like the people they are sending up.

I found it incredibly repetitive; most of the jokes had been made last week. Couldn’t they come up with some new material?

Also cause I’m into that type of content I pick a lot of the jokes punchlines before theyre even made.

You’ll likely see the same shows being sent up most weeks - they’re not going to go to the effort of sets/locations/makeup for a one-off 30 second parody.

Exactly. those sets would be most of the budget so they would have had to justify it by filming several things on it.

Was a bit better than last week. But agree that it is very repetitive. But agree that it is very repetitive.
Glad that they’re teasing some Seven shows, like First Dates, and MKR. With teasing MKR, at least they’re acknowledging that contestants are using sob stories to get through onto the next round…
It’s rubbed off on you.

I think the variety in shows was still pretty decent last night. The Play School from the archives sketch is absolutely hilarious, I wish they had more of those clips.

Big ratings drop for episode two, down 90,000 to below 300k. Is that sustainable for a 7.30 show on Seven?

Wasn’t Big Brother getting those figures last year in the same timeslot?
