I don't know if I have just gotten older, and my expectations have changed, but has anyone noticed the sorry state of television lately. I use to have a love affair with my television and I would often say that Television was my husband, while Cinema was a rent boy I frequented often.

But reality show after reality show, has killed my passion, and when I fondle my remote control, I have begun to feel as though I am 40 years into a bored, heterosexual marriage.

So.. I have started thinking of suggestions to make television better.

1. Survivor- Long Bay. - A group of dangerous felons, are put on an island, and every week they compete for weapons. The last person standing, has their sentence dropped.

2. So You Think You can 'done"- Set in a methadone clinic. Every week contestants try to out do and out 'done each other... whilst dancing.

3. The Biggest Losers meet the Biggest Gainers:- Picture this. A house full of ten obese people trying to lose weight, must endure the hi -jinx of having three anorexics put into the house with them. They must team up, and teach each other techniques on successful weight gain/ weight loss. Bring on the cream cakes and caffeine enemas....!

4. "Big Sister"- an 8 year old boy puts a CCTV camera in his older sister's room, exposing her as the "blow job queen" of her entire suburb.

Stun me with your suggestions.....please!

LOL

Argh I totally agree! I was a TV junkie then when I moved here we didnt even turn it on for 2 months.... and now that we have, the novelty wore off in a day or 2. Its all crap.

I rarely watch TV these days due to the crap shows so I don;t really have any comments though I do like your suggestions.

Once again, thanks for cheering this bitch up

'So You Think You Can Ponce?'
Twelve gay boys are groomed by a panel of celebrity gay men (Ian Roberts, Joh Bailey, Anthoney Callea, Tim Campbell, Carson Kressley, Todd McKenney, Morrissey) to speak, dance, sing, cry, walk, etc, to be the biggest ponce!
One gets voted off each week by the Aussie public for being too 'hetero'.Like it?

I watch Oprah and Dr. Phil before work. By the time I get home some nights I'm lucky and get Room for Improvement - otherwise it's just infomercials.

Foxtel in a month me thinks...

You'd end up rounding up a bunch of Carson Kressley wannabe's... which in turn would make me want to stab myself in the eye with a fork.

How about we bring back "It's a Knockout" ?!

Australian Idle - 16 unemployed people, 1 job up for grabs, 1 person eliminated weekly.

Just get rid of the ADS - that's what drives me crazy!! I watch the TV a lot but its all DVDs (movies and TV series) - much less aggravating.

Sounds like my life at the moment

Romper Poo- Room- A show where scat loving perverts hold up imaginary, magic mirrors, and pretend they can see your children.

Well now that Natasha Richards is dead (please I hope this means no more merchant ivory films) I want to see her and the the fat lady from the two fat ladies that died strung up marionette style and making a turduken of a Jamie Oliver stuffed with a de-boned Gordon Ramsay who in turn is stuffed with a de-boned Nigella Lawson.

The Biggest Midget.- Follow this week to week show, that tries to find the world's biggest midget.

Someone needs to stand outside her room with a portable cd player and just as she climaxes, play the Canadian Anthem.

A reality show - 'Bogan Swap'.

A family of bogans in Blacktown get to swap houses with bogans in Cronulla to see if the degree of *boganhood* is geographical or genetic. The family who is the most *bogan* wins.
Kieran - I know you're originally from Blacktown - no offence.

or

Another reality show - 'Knight Call' - the gay brothel in Kellet Street, Kings Cross. 12 young gay rent boys vie for the title of *best whore*. One gets voted off each week until a winner emerges. The rent boys are judged upon gag reflex stamina, lap dancing, presentation, personality & pillow talk.

Meh I was more offended by the prospect of going to Cronulla, the term of Phrase "God's country" would strike fear into many that grew up on the hellmouth.
And I know you mean no offence because unlike most fags you don't tremble with fear at the thought of setting foot past ashfield, you worked at the Vegas of the west FFS Ash.

I don't think there are any true bogans left in B'town these days, given that boganhood denotes a certain us and them mentality, the concept does have merit though.

Can you please choose some dirty doony bong rats to go be Shire bogans

a sitcom where the main character has progeria.
i think it would be a scream

OMG I would watch every week.

I miss Becky

I loved that show!!!!

Now we have to deal with channel 9 Wipeout which is a dumb down version for individuals and not state against state.

Maybe we can have a queer version hosted by Bob Downe & Julie Mcrossin

If I had the money I would produce and Australian Version of Queer as Folk, for a couple of reasons;

1. We have had US and UK version so why can't AUS have one too especially considering we have one of the largest gay populations on the planet.

2. I would also make the series alot more full on in regards to gay issues ect. Not just sex related either.

I think with the right story line and cast an aussie series would do well. Even in the US and UK.

Which Aussie actor is hot enough (and brave enough) to play Brian?

I doubt very much an Aussie version would take off.
Straight actors in this country would fear being type-cast - and the gay actors clamouring for a part would all want to play Emmett...lol

umm well Alex Dimitriadis played a gay role in one of his films and even won a AFI award for it. Hugh Jackman played a gay man on broadway......so I think there is def boy's out there with open minds whom would be willing to play gay roles, especially if the money is right lol

Oh and another thing..... I wouldn't have the same charater types as the previous series. Completely different people would be involved, especially the ones that show off our diverse community.
