The Wedge (2006–2007)
1/10
Some alright material surrounded by a lot of cr*p

A lot of current Australian sketch shows are terrible. Actually, they pretty much all are. When I first heard of the Wedge, I didn't know what to expect, I didn't even know if it was a sketch show. I only heard about a few hours before it premeired, and so, I watched it. The first episode was alright, having a few laughs. It also introduced that girl on the webcam, easily a contender for the most unfunny recurring sketch ever. But, all up, it wasn't bad. It was about a 5 1/2 out of 10, looking like it would get better.

Unfortuanatly, the good slowly left, and the webcam girl remained. There is more then that that ruins the show, but I really hate that sketch. Anyway, It really just stopped being funny. There are some good and funny bits, like cooking shows which has a different host each week (A famous character/person), though a lot of the time, it's just the same jokes about the people who are hosting it as everyone else is saying, such a Bono and his wanting to get rid of poverty.

I'll be fair, the show is alright at times, but unfortunately, most of it is just plain bad. It's a shame shows like Fast Forward, The late show etc. aren't being made, at least not in sketch form they aren't.
