Sea Patrol, Packed to the Rafters, Dancing with the Channel 7 Z Listers, anything with Rove in it

Unfortunately there are only 15 poll options, I needed about 500

No point me voting as I only watch the news and have only heard of 3 of the others.

The 70s Show
American Dad (or whatever its called)

(I occasionally(?) hate having teenage boys)


Australian made wise, anything with Eddie McGuire in it (although I'm sometimes drawn to watch Hot Seat, possibly because its akin to picking at a septic scab)

wise choices dreamster. i should have included an option for any US comedy and another for Eddie.

and how could I forget the Mentalist? Still makes me think of Alan Partridge:rofl:

What about Today Tonight. I'm surprised it didn't get a listing.

Definitely agree with BS's comment on Rove. I'll throw in Merrick and Rosso if they're still going. :thumbup:

sorry, I just didn't have enough options. TT, ACA and 60 minutes are all the same show aren't they?
Agree totally re M + R. add to that Hamish and Andy, plus Roy and HG.

I wasn't reading too carefully. I've seen a bit of 60 minutes but I've not seen more than about 5 minutes of the other two. They're a bit pony.

What was that really crappy programme they used to have in the UK with Frank Bough. Jezz that used to bore the pants off me when I was a kid. And at a time where we only had 3 channels interspersed with welsh-language programmes.

I think they tried to rehash it for the modern era with the One show, which is also total crap

How very flattering to be considered for a category all of my own...


I'd better go and write my acceptence speach... Now should I do the whoop whoop high fives, fake tears or have a wardrobe misfucntion?

Worst show on Australian TV?


tough call - theres so much competition in this category...

On reflection I think it'd have to be the "Harvey Norman" show - I particularly dislike how it gets interupted every minute or two for endless "Law & Order" breaks.

[disclaimer]
I havent actually watched any broadcast TV in real-time in Australia for over 8 years (when I realised it was all unwatchable and took a technological and predominantly illegal alternative approach to my entertainment needs) - my TV doesnt even have an antenna plugged in - so ultimately I'm no judge of whatever crap they put out over the airwaves these days.

Impossible to pick the worst and easier to state what is worth watching which in my case amounts to some SBS films and the occassional British made show on ABC.

I've always wondered how they got that title through the 'truth in advertising' watchdog.

Actually, I have a winner that I did stumble on late one night ... Teenage Kicks ... Adrian Edmondson hang your head.

Personally I really like Angry boys, Rockwiz and GNW.. I hate all Aussie Soaps/Dramas except those with Claudia Karvan.

That NSW Rugby show gets my vote.

You mean they actually have TV shows between the 58 minutes an hour of funeral plan and retirement lifestyle ads.

Anybody see that new UK cop reality show this week, Behind The Force i think it was called. Fascinating.

Re: What is the shittest program on Aussie tv?
 
It would have been much easier to ask what good aussie shows are there. I remember all the hype leading up to the Hey Hey It's Crap TV show... mind bogglingly bad tv.

The footy show has to go down as the most moronic show. Otherwise anything 7/9/10
