Typical Australian TV, 27 September 2012
Author: colbur-1 from Australia

Typical Australian TV: same handful of actors regurgitated over and over like an old boys club (why was Martin Henderson cast as an American when he is incapable of delivering lines in an American tongue?); same self-consciously humorous scripts as subtle as Comic Capers – it's basically the Chaser's War minus a few farts and cream pies. When will our producers dare to lose this cringeworthy jingoism and allow our entertainment to meet world sensibilities? It's as insular as it was in 1960something. And this coming from the ABC! Unpardonable tripe. Like chucking a bucket of pigswill at the proletariat. I'm as embarrassed as I am about the Pauline Hansons and Fred Niles over this kind of stuff.
