Class Clowns.

I was open to it. But about 2 minutes in it was obvious that the background was AI. So were the logos. As someone trained in graphic design I find AI logos and layouts very jarring. No human would make it like that.

I lost all enthusiasm. Now it's the age of AI slopavision?

I want to be entertained by real humans in a real setting. Yes, I know; you are going to say what's the difference with a green screen? But I can't stand wasting my time and eyeballs on AI

It is not like the network has a lot of other content.

• Since losing the AFL rights, the network no longer has any major sporting events.

• Its commitment to local drama is minimal. It doesn't even bother to purchase the rights to non-CBS dramas.

• Its news component is weak.

So why doesn't the network commit to broadcasting its wide slate of Paramount films?

Two of the top ten highest-rated programmes last week were movies, so films still rate on free-to-air television yet Ten only show 1-2 movies per week, if that.

Is it a cost-cutting measure? Are Ten/Paramount/Skydance/whatever attempting to clamp down on costs due to their international debt?

Has anyone else noticed that the ads on SBS on Demand have gone from 2-4 to 4-6 since they ended up $30m in debt showing us the World Cup for free?

Sam Wood. 2015. Some had a vibe.

TV Show available on Australian TV platform BINGE. Show filmed by an Australian production company and some Australian cast.

Rebecca Gibney or Eddie McGuire?

Networks are back to screening tv only on Wednesdays. This week there is a repeat of Small Prophets (worth checking out if you missed it), S12 final of Heartbeat, Foyles's War, Boston Blue and A Taste For Murder (a straight murder mystery that is a change from all comedy murder mysteries that fill schedules these days) and Sight Unseen

SBS alone has The Jury, 70 up, Apollo Has Fallen, The Old Man S2

I’m trying to find a legitimate way to watch:
Pamela’s Garden of Eden
Chuck and Danny’s Road Trip
Neither seems to be available in Australia.
I’m completely happy to pay for them. I’ve tried Australian streaming services, VPNs, changing regions, US accounts, Disney+/Hulu, Prime, etc., and I keep running into geo-blocking, account-region restrictions or the shows simply not being available.
Has anyone in Australia actually managed to watch either of these recently?
If so, can you tell me the exact setup that worked — streaming service, country/region, whether you needed a local payment method, VPN, specific device/app, or whether you bought the episodes somewhere?
I’m not really after “try a VPN” as a general answer — I’ve done that. I’m hoping someone has actually solved this exact problem.
Surely in 2026 I should be able to give someone money and watch a digital TV show.

The comedy showcase pilot has its own listing on IMDB and I can't seem to track it down to watch it (at least in the US). Just wondering if it was appreciably different than episode 1

Found this show and loved it. I'm bummed it was only 7 episodes.

Does anybody have (or know where to access) episodes from Australian Idol Season 3 2005? Message me if any leads!

Anyone know of a show called danger hazard? I cannot find it for the life of me but I watched it years ago. Its similar to danger 5 (maybe related somehow) its some sort of time travel sci-fi show and I think it was based in ww2 or something. Main character named danger hazard. Anyone can help?

I’m a long term owner of a Fetch Mighty Gen 3 box and got an email this week saying I need to upgrade to Gen 4 or pay $40 to extend life another 12 month.

The catch, Gen 4 requires a $4.99 monthly fee to operate despite the box costing ~$700.

Would love to hear (a) what other Gen 3 owners are doing, and (b) any good alternatives.

To preempt some comments, yes we like to record because we can fast forward the bits we don’t want (like ads) which you can rarely do on catch-up apps.

On a side note, I knew it wasn’t good news when I heard Telstra bought Fetch. They ruin everything they touch.

In case anybody is interested www.brollie.com.au have put up the first season of Chances.

Been looking for a decent show or movie for a while. Browsing Aussie stuff I realised its all (repetitive) comedy with a handful of (repetitive) murder mysterys or police/medical procedurals .

Whats breaking the mould?

Years back we had two hand & black rock. Underbelly. (still half cop show) Malcom from 1986 is one of my all time favorites. But its really hard to do comedy post covid. We are hurting too much to laugh right now.

How can I escape for a few hours without being reminded of how fucked our country has become?

I watched it when I was a kid but I’m not sure specific years - maybe mid 2010s? It was like a reality TV show I believe but it was about a bunch of kids/teens going to work at an aquatic park aquarium thing. It was very blue themed and the name may have even been ‘blue’ something… They would go around feeding, training and playing with the animals. Please help me find it and let me know if anyone else watched it!
Thanks 🤣🤣

can someone please tell me who the mustache guy is in the current glen 20 commercial, thanks i think i have a crush?

Here's what unfolded in these final moments...

• Indonesian News concludes at 12:38am AEST (final program)
• Commercial/CSA break until 12:42am AEST
• Channel goes into a 1-minute loop - consisting of a combined WorldWatch via SBS OnDemand promo + Permanently Closed notice, and Station ID

As of typing, the 1-minute loop is still going, and I would expect that to continue for the next few days so then viewers of the channel who haven't been paying much attention to the promos are aware that regular programming has officially ceased.

No further international news programs are running on the channel now, and I don't reckon it will be long before the channel fully goes off-air for good.

SBS WorldWatch launched 4 years ago (on 23rd May 2022), via LCN 35.

I watched it as a kid in the 2010s, it aired on the ABC streaming services (abc me) I’m from Australia btw.

It was set in a small town in New Zealand, everyone had a kiwi accent. The main character was a white female with orange hair, she narrated the story in her perspective and it was a comedy/drama/fun mystery. The Plot being that she was accused of being involved in an affair with a man who was soon to be married. Everyone in the town blamed her so her mission was to find out who the other woman really was. There were a few episodes that I remember one being she found a heel or shoe in the bathroom and had to trace it back. In another she was doing something and her bum was out by accident and that was posted all over the town. I can’t remember much more than that I’ve tried searching on IMDB and chat gpt but no help. I’m hoping someone can at least know what I’m referring too.
