I tuned in for a bit of this program. My immediate reaction was that it reminded me in some way of the Drew Carey prgram “Who’s line is it anyway”. Albeit in a someone modified format. At this stage I’d give it the benefit of the doubt and stick with it to see how everyone settles into the format.

I enjoyed it though I thought it started slowly for me but it definitely improved as the show went on. I will be watching the rest of the series.

I thought it was quite an interesting show. I never minded O Keefe as such but since it’s only the first episode I’m willing to give it a few goes. And thank god 7HD have some alternative programs that I haven’t seen following after it. Getting so sick of the other stuff that doesn’t interest me on Ten and the normal 7 Digital channel.

I’m willing to give this a show a few chances, but it will be interesting to see how long before they’ll pull it off the air.

I thought it was actually quite good. His interviewing skills are great and it’s original with it’s concept. A mix between Denton and Thank God your here.

Channel 7 will never be able to do a comedy hour. After years of “cute” laughs on Sunrise and co., they will never be able to make a real cutting edge hilarious program. It will be the same tired manufactured jokes about easy targets such as Michael Jackson, Shane Warne and Paris Hilton. Ho hum…that’s commercial reality for you.

I just can’t believe this was able to go to air. In the words of Ron burgundy…What is this, amateur hour?

I agree with Harrison, lucky no HD for me.
I am O’Keefed out. He comes across too smarmy for me.
David, you say in control, I say arrogant and a big showoff.

i thought it was ok, did 7 intend on this being a late night show? it seemed a little toned down and light for 8:30. i was expecting a rove type set but instead it is a just-before-u-go-to-bed/wind-down type.

more suited for late night (10:30) i thought. out of the question replacement maybe?

andrew o’keefe was also toned down and handleable so for all of u that can’t stand him on deal should be able to handle him here. he did a good job interviewing the guests i thought

The Thank God team were never signed to Ten, which is why you see Shane Bourne on City Homocide.
I thought the show was really good.
But I’d like to know what happens to Daniel Cordeaux… I went to a taping where he was replaced with Russell Fletcher…?

Didn’t watch as i don’t have digital but from what i’ve read i’m glad. From what i’ve heard it was absolutely cringe-worthy bad.

I agree with Mac that it was forced and unfunny. I have to disagree with David regarding the final scene. I left the room during that birthing sequence as it was a pretty immature attempt at comedy. I don’t particularly like O’Keefe as he seems quite insincere.

probably a show that should be on ten.

I agree with Ben Tree. I love AOK and really love 7HD trying something really different. But this felt forced and painfully unfunny. And yup, terrible name, too.

How did the Thank God extras get on? Aren’t they signed to Ten?

mostly agree with you david. its not ground-breaking or hilarious tv but at least we’re seeing something different.

I’ve loved Andrew O’Keefe since I first saw him on the brilliant Big Bite. He’s one of the very few Australian personalities that I like. I always wanted him to have his own chat show. From the screencaps and descriptions, it looks like it needs some work but if 7 give it a chance, I’m sure it’ll get better. It’s not the parts involving Andrew that I’m having a problem with. It’s the other people, although I do like Rebecca De Unamuno

I hope that I can get a set-top box soon so I can check it out for myself but I have a feeling 7 will scrap this fast.
