Can't get the ABC to see "the bill" unfortuantely.
Some aussie shows like "secret life of us" have been quite good. But there is far to much bloody sports esp AFL on here, and a lot of the long time running shows could do with a boot out the door not just a revamp.
I hate reality tv, so I don't watch it. "ground force" and "backyard blitz" were two of the more enjoyable ones. Bugger "big brother" and "the block".
Most american stuff is crap. Best thing to have ever come out of the US was a show in the late 80's-early 90's called "Thirty something"

Oh yeah, and all the live UK soccer matches as well.
We only watch terrestrial for a few shows, BHG, (and Bourkes backyard before it was ditched), the news a 6pm, a current affair, who wants to be a millionaire occasionally, and a few trashy stars in their eyes type programs.
Oh that Glass Houses program is quite funny (a rip-off of 'Have I got news for you')
I really don't know how to rate it. It fulfills its purpose I suppose.
Uhhmmmm
7/10 for the terrestrial stuff. Cheers,

Re: Australian TV
Seeing as Aussie TV has more sport, the same reality shows, and has all the good exports from the UK, and SBS - a real gem in my opinion, one of the best channels I've seen, that all makes up for the advert intervals.
I didn't watch enough Brit TV to form a real comparison.
No real complaints.

Re: Australian TV
The Footie Show on 9 is good, I like that. I'd say 3 out of 10.
I think I am sad cos I do like GMA with old Moonface - oh and Moira!
And what is it with an ad before the end captions! Whats that all about?
