I think I must be the only person in Australia who doesn’t watch Packed to the Rafters or Underbelly, hates Rove and loves Two and a Half Men…

Tony, the public and shows like TT and ACA glorified Underbelly not people who watched it they just thought it was an excellent drama made here in Australia

I enjoyed the show Very Small Business more than The Hollowmen, I think most people have forgotten that show existed though

Leaving aside the technical merits of Underbelly, I have a real problem with a show that glorifies a bunch of dumb thugs and killers. I never watched a second of it.

Thanks for the results David. I have been looking forward to this post.

The Hollowmen were a very well deserved winner of best comedy. Along with Underbelly for best drama. Both got my vote.

It was also great to see The Amazing Race win best international reality show. Just ahead of Survior in my book.

100% agree with Kyle Sandilands as worse male. I cannot stand the man.

And as for the biggest story my vote went for the Underbelly ban, however I agree that FTA scheduling in 2008 was the worse ever however 2009 may be even worse. God help us all.

Finally, lol at “A significant number of votes also chose “Foxtel” as Best Subscription Channel. Go figure.”

Thanks for another great year David!!

Although i do find melissa doyle annoying.

Did anyone see Vanessa Gray on ‘The Strip’?I mean I know the storylines and dialogue were ablosutley disgustingly bad, but i mean she displayed the worst acting i have ever seen on austrailian television.

To johnny1.5 (weird username there ) in category of Favourite Female, Julia Zemiro getsmention.
Rockwiz like Spicksand Specksare 2 shows worth watching most weeks.
Great hosts, great entertainment – perfect fits for their networks.

Is it wrong to think that stoners voted for a lot of these options? Border Security as best factual? What are they smoking?? Anyway, I’m glad Lost got 2nd place in best int. drama, its miles above Dexter I reckon. Well, Dexter season 2 wasn’t half as good as the first season I thought whereas Lost has been consistently enjoyable apart from a slight dip in quality in season 3. And I agree Ben, Office and Sunny are great shows, they deserve better recognition. I’m also surprised to see 30 Rock winning best comedy, I thought for sure 2.5 men would get it (along with worst comedy), but anyway.

A pity RockWiz never got a mention or Julia Zemiro, there is always the end of this year I guess to vote for them and get them into runners up at least, however I will not hold my breath and probably cast the one lonely vote for both again and live in hope that this fine show and host one day get recognised by the general public.

I’m curious, how come channel 10 is written in capitals like ‘TEN’ but channel 9 is written like ‘Nine’?

Kinda like you all the time?

I’m glad Survivor won 2nd place. Maybe those programmers over at ch 9 will sit up and take notice at the results!

Andrew O’ Keefe as worst male but Deal or No Deal as best game show? Hmm.

Thanks David. Interesting results there. At least I got 4-5 categories right.

*nudges knoxoverstreet* as you choose t post in this thread.
Suppose you voted for The Strip as best drama, Hole In Wall or Monster House as best comedy.No surprise your first comment here is dig at another network show (working for Nine’s PR dept must be hard work mate)
2 and half men your best comedy,is that why you flogged it to death.
Ihave worst shows and presenters across all networks – strange how you can only find fault with 7,10,2 & SBS.
Worst show for me was ACA closely followed by Todat tonight and Monster House.
Worst presenters – Jackie O, Kyle, Jules Lund,Karl Stefanovic, Andrew O’Keefe etc..
knoxoverstreet, what wwre your own best and worst ?

P.S. still no surprise neither you nor the 3 other similar pro nine plants have not posted in programming threads about Gossip Girl,Temptation or Flashpoint.
At least I post here without bias unless some others.
