    @Sam. I could see her shaking a Domino’s Pizza sign on the side of a major road.

    These shows should only air 40 weeks a year, as with Media Watch, as for 3 months over Summer they can get away with the same gutter jouralism without proper scrutiny…

    I love Samanatha. comes across as a top chick on W/E Sunrise…. but i still wont watch TT
    Whenever I see Leila all I see is her telling Corey to “take those glasses off”
    Classic

    That is for the east coast’s version of ACA, I don’t know if the current hosts here in Perth or Adelaide will change over summer.

    lol @ franz chongs idea, how can someone possibly want more Two and a Half Men?

    I have a better idea for Channel Nine.In the absence of a game show over the summer that follows ACA for this year Extend the Charlie Sheen Marathons and have them start at 6;30pm.Twenty One Years Ago They Tried My Two Dads in the same timeslot and it worked so I don’t see why they can’t do the same today for Two and a Half Men.

    Why do they even need Summer Editions of Current Affairs Shows.

    Let them be put to rest and put on something everyone wants to watch like a good comedy or cooking show

    …and the quality level will remain the same. Non-existent.

    Gotta love Leila McKinnon’s on-screen expression in that pic, by the way. It is the very definition of the holier-than-thou right-wing tabloid-current-affairs-host look. You can literally feel the outrage.
