I am so tired of watching Aussie TV channels. No quality material and full of shitty content. For even news- 9news, 7news, ABC all kept going on about Taylor swift all day. No quality news reporting at all. Thanks to YouTube , my go to channel for news now is DW and France 24. European channels are the best in my opinion.
Local channels are required to show 55 percent local content between 6am to midnight on their primary channel.
What’s the cheapest content you can make? Reality television. Great bang for buck there. Practically writes itself, and plenty of fools will go on it for free for the slim chance of a prize at the end. Just provide a few locations/sets, some alcohol to get the drama going, and Bob’s yer uncle.
Hence we have:
MAFS - seriously, how many times can you repeat an ‘experiment’ before you deem it a failure? Every season all I see is the miserable failure of alleged ‘experts’ in matching people.
SURVIVAHHH - JAW DROPPING CHALLENGES AWAIT OUR CONTESTANTS AND OMG BACKSTABBING, EVERY WEEK.
I’M A D-LIST CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE - As above. Less backstabbing though, that’s nice.
This is closely followed by game shows, so we also have:
DEAL-OR-NO-DEAL
TIPPPPING POIIIINT
THE CHASAAH
Finally, news and “current affairs” can then be used to plug the gap.
So we now we can run:
I used to think that ABC/SBS were a little dull. But now I’m glad of them.
"I’M A D-LIST CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE "
That’s a thing in Australian TV? I knew that it was filmed in Aus but I always thought it was exclusively made for Germany…
Edit: Nevermind, it seems like there are a dozen different versions of this crap internationally

The UK version is also in Aus. Makes sense as it’s aired in the UK winter so summer time in Australia. They sleep outside.
Reading up online it was originally a UK show but now also done in United States, Germany, France, Hungary, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Romania, Russia, Australia and India.
Oz TV Sucks balls
Good summary.
Its the people that work at these channels and production co’s that baffle me. Their work lives must be so vapid.
I can’t imagine what they must think to themselves when they’ve reached another end of their work day. They must derive a satisfaction from it that i can’t envision.
Please explain for those who are not up with the show acronyms, what the fuck is MAFS ?!?
Married At First Sight. It’s as bad as it sounds.
Does everyone remember how that stupid degrading fucking show was launched IN THE MIDDLE of the same sex marriage debate!? Seriously, it was.
Think about that for a minute.
Thanks. Will continue to skip : -)
