Goldberg, Goldberg, Goldberg…
Aaaah, the memories. That’s right – tonight after 74 episodes we FINALLY discuss the wrestling!!
So BRING IT!!! It’s Showtime. This week:
We lay the smackdown on some craptacular Crap TV nonsense from Channel 7.
We reveal a huge Trump secret (an exclusive if you ignore all other media reports).
And we bust a chair on some News, before throwing some Quotes and Pork through some tables, but only if you smeeeeelll what the Boxcutters are cooking.
Also this weeks audience poll: Ratings discussion, should we? Ratings yes, ratings no, let us know.

Here it finally is. We are back in our usual form.
James Talia joins us on the phone from London to talk about the world of a European Correspondent and how Nine have managed to maintain their international edge. There’s some talk of ratings and a review of the Sunday night shows as well as a discussion of ACA vs TT and the Schappelle/Jody/Mercedes shenanigans.

Roll out the barrel….
Hey all – Join us as we leisurely pick our way through the bits and pieces of television whatever for the week.
There’s News, so you are informed and update with all TV’s doings. It’s that time of year again so we take a look at the big ratings wars, focusing in on Monday and Wednesday showdowns. We lift the embargo long enough to rant and rave and rant some more about the insidious new footy broadcast deal. We dive into the somehow life affirming crapness that is The Con Test. There is a sneak peek at the new Series 18 of The Simpson. All this and a generous helping of Pork.

You asked for a longer show and you got a longer show. 62ish semi-solid minutes of non-stop Boxcutters. We talk about the Superbowl ads (which you can find here), Ross doesn’t buy Pensioners Insurance, Brett finally reviews So noTORIous, and there’s a look back at the Summer of Sport.
Of course there’s Pork and the News as well.

Look out! Bring in the fans! Because things get a little heated in the studio this week.
We continue our ongoing local content debate with special guest and prominent local writer Marieke Hardy weighing in.
Luckily we couldn’t get rid of her, so Marieke sticks around for a discussion on 24 and the usual helping of pork.
Add in some News and you have the big show.

Another fun filled ep on the old radi-ola. But for those of you not yet across this radio wave transmitting technology we are putting the show up in the more traditional, old fashioned podcast format too.
Lots of fun here. Our special guest: Corinne Grant drops in to give us the inside goss on the Glass House and her other TV projects (both involvement and watching).
There’s a Raywatch where we exposing a Today Tonight scandal that goes all the way to the Mayor’s office (which unfortunately was empty).
And a bunch of other stuff.
All this plus on the radio we had music (and possibly do on this if there is a technical error).
