Recorded live… from Melbourne, Australia… it’s BOXCUTTERS episode 28.

We’re joined by a very special new member of the family for the first time. She’s funny. She’s intelligent. She’s gorgeous. She’s got the longest legs I’ve ever seen. She’s Jess McGuire and she’s got more salacious gossip than 5 National Enquirers put together.

I Don’t Buy It with these all-singing, all-dancing ads for water.

We’ve uncovered a good Lost related web site that keeps up with the Australian rate of the show.

Crap TV takes aim at the way channel 10 breaks up some of its programming.

Raywatch checks out some suspicious shenanigans inferring that other channels are reporting what they’re not.

Josh highlights some new quality shows not to miss.

And there’s the usual high standard of reportage of TV news along with checking out how channel 9 is going in the ratings, now that their Pepsi Olympics coverage is out of the way.

The games kicked off last night with the military precision that’s reminiscent of any episode of Boxcutters… like this one.

We talk about the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony – one hour of killer content sqeezed into four hours of air time.

Senator Helen Coonan unveiled a discussion document on the proposed new Australian media laws, while bringing up the hoary old chestnut of advertising on the ABC and just in time to be buried by the nation’s distraction with the games. We dig through the 40 page release to find out what they’re hiding.

Ross brings some Crap TV to our attention and Brett finds another reason not to buy those flirt messaging ads.

We take a look at Bert‘s culpability for the ratings woes of channel 9.

And we notice the ABC are ignoring the White House goings-on in favour of all the relationship drama going on around The West Wing – if you believe their promos.

If you’re at a bit of a loose end because Bert’s not on at 5:30 and you really couldn’t give a stuff about the games that have replaced him, send us an email to pass the time at: send us email

We plan to tell you what to do with a drunken sailor earlie in the morning but first, here’s some stuff about TV.

This week on Boxcutters you can hear:

• Some quality news (both kinds, good and bad);
• An interview with recent Late Show with David Letterman intern Daniel Burt;
• Crap TV sees Ross take on the cricket coverage;
• There are some quotes from Australia’s Brainiest TV Star (or whatever it was called);
• Brett takes on the new season of Media Watch;
• and Josh discovers what he once lost about Lost.

How much more could we fit in 70 minutes of TV discussion? Well, there are bits and pieces but you have to find them for yourself.

Like a group hug from a bunch of strangers, Boxcutters is simultaneously comforting and disturbing. Not sure what we mean by that? Then have a listen to this episode and hear:

• All the news about television from the week;
• A big discussion about the new 9 logo and the watermark;
• Those morning news shows and whatever their point is;
• Raywatch is back;
• There is no buying the latest Channel 9 News ad;
• and just so 9 has some company in being bashed, Ross has some words about the Green Guide.

It sounds harsh but it really is a lot of fun.
