Hey all
This week not one but two, count ’em two big special guests. Our first ever guest Ed Phillips makes his triumphant return to celebrate Temptation’s 300.
And Jess McGuire returns (more a correspondent than a guest, but we haven’t seen her for a while) to bring us up to speed on Idol.
Plus more Crap TV ranting against Channel 9’s blatant stupidity with Sopranos, a few little Raywatches, our continuing Fall line up preview, as well as news and pork.

This is where all the TV news is. Ross talks about another bank ad in I Don’t Buy It. Brett talks about the dodgy dealings of Fox News in Raywatch. Josh gets very angry about Free TV Australia. There’s a discussion of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Heroes in our ongoing look at the fall schedule from the US. Ross fills us in on Britney and Kevin: Chaotic and then we finish the whole thing up with some pork.
Nobody could ask for anything more.

You wanna know stuff? About TV? Well, you’ve come to right place.
On this week’s thrilling installment we solve the mystery of the two version of Rome (Of course we don’t solve why the bbc butchered it, or why Channel 9 showed the bbc version or even why Channel 9 thought it apt to axe it just hours after the first ep went to air… sigh…).
There’s not 1, not 2 but four “I Don’t Buy It”s, focusing on pasta, sweat and other unmentionables.
We take an extended look at the real good HBO drama “Big Love“, as well as a smaller look at some of the newies in the US Fall schedule.
Plus news, pork and more pork.

Remember Boxcutters episode 49? Oh, how we laughed and laughed and laughed.
It was the week when Dicko‘s Australian Celebrity Survivor and David Tench Tonight started and RoBo and BreBo laughed about them. The Crap TV and Raywatch were such a hoot!
And the Ratings report and TV/Internet crossover episodes – I couldn’t stop chuckling.
All that and the News and APT too. I’m still laughing now… oh, stop it!
