It's Television: Dissected
TV News, Reviews and Interviews
Unfortunately, dear participants, the Boxcutters site has been hit with a lot of spam over the last few weeks. I’m sick of it and now we all have to login before leaving comments. It’s a simple and painless process that should take you all of 60 seconds.
See the link over on the left.
If you have an problems then email us.
I’ve just been interviewed for Hack about downloading television shows and why its good or bad. As we know, it’s a topic very close to my heart (read: I love downloading TV). Listen to Hack at 5:30 today or check out the website over here.
*UPDATE: Listen to the article as an mp3 here.

Pretty uninspired if that’s it.
Brett Boxcutter just got vox popped by channel 7 news about the Jackson Street shootings.
They’ll probably use the snippet of “Nah, you wouldn’t expect a guy to pull a gun on you in that situation” and completely ignore the refutation of reporter-on-the-spot’s claim that it’s gotta make you fearful in St Kilda.
Hey there funky chicken. Got an opinion? Want to share it?
We’re getting ready for our last show for 2005. It’s going to be quite the event. I’m even thinking of buying some streamers.
Anyway, as is customary at the year’s end, we’ll be discussing the highs and lows of 2005 and we want your help.
Tell us what your favourite shows were for this year. What did you think was the worst? What was your least bought ad for this year? We want to know. Also, nominate your choice for Miss Boxcutter 2005*.

Just saw an ad for Will & Grace… 4 nights a week 7 till 8 Channel 7…
Poor headLand – maybe it was just too beautiful for this world.
EDIT: Sorry – a bit premature with my prediction of headLands demise. I must have miss seen the ad. Will and Grace is back AFTER headLand from 8pm. Sorry for the confusion. Although given headLand dropped from 743,000 viewers on Monday night to 613,000 by the end of the week one has to wonder how long 7 can stick with it.
That having been said it apparently ‘picks up’ from ep 15… It would want to.
And also, while Ch 10 are winning plaudits (ok, only from me) about their handling of Futurama, they continue to disappoint in other areas. Teen soap “One Tree Hill” was bought back for summer last Saturday night only to get canned this week for a new show with amazing facts about the human body.
Truly craptv.
Come Ch 10… I know it’s all about rating, but why torture your “One Tree Hill” fans like that?

There’s also some other cool stuff on the SIT website. Especially a fun flash game where you play a deity of your choice and take out your aggression. In Jesus’ special move he throws loaves and fishes. It’s hilarious.
We’ve got a new section on the Boxcutters Website. If you have a look over to the left you’ll see SPECIAL FEATURES. This is where we’ll post a bunch of stuff that is more indepth than the usual posts.
We kick off this section with even more information on the ridiculous world of TV Ratings.
