Boxcutters Episode 8

Yes… who could believe that we’ve already done 8 episodes? We’re almost at our landmark 10 which we will call our Decisode of Telly!

For the moment, though, comfort yourselves with another great show. Raywatch is back with a vengance. We’ve also got an interesting look at Letters to Boxcutters and the ratings system. We take a quick look at 24 and The Surgeon. Ross has some new shows, Brett has some reviews and Josh has some news.

Ooh, there’s also more I Don’t Buy It because we know you love it so much.

Boxcutters Episode 7

There’s the usual batch of news, a whole world of anger with I Don’t Buy It followed by continuing anger about Channel 7’s Five Decades of Laughs and Legends/: The Naughty Bits and Princess Mary of Australia.

We have a new segment of Letters to Boxcutters which gives us a chance to justify what we do and beg you to love us.

All that and so much more (or maybe not but it just feels like it sometimes).

Ep 1: It’s our first show

Hosted by Brett Cropley, Josh Kinal and Ross McQueen, Boxcutters will take you on a tour through the world of television once a week.

While the team likes to think of it as broadcasting on the internet (because of the high ambitions of radio potential) the show will take the form more commonly known as podcasting (a.k.a. computer-magic radio).

Where can you find such a delightful chocolate-box of tasty nougat information about television, what’s on it and how it could be better? Well, we haven’t worked that one out yet.

This week we’re talking about Dancing with the Stars, The Amazing Game (The Mole), Sensible Funerals, MDA, the Green Guide (a reputable TV/media guide in Melbourne), Blue Heelers, Last Man Standing, TV advertising, Raywatch and heaps more.
