Whats wrong with commercial music you say? Just about everything. I like to listen to artists who write their own songs. If you are happy listen to pop songs with no substance littered with autotune vocals between inane ads, then good luck to you,

@ John : Commercial music is vaccuous – some of us like a bit of depth and substance to our music hence bands like The Arcade Fire or Animal Collective are making music that still sounds rich and exciting years later.

I’m sure all the pre pubescents tuning into JJJ will be besides themselves until their attention spans reset. In 5 4 3 2 1……

@ Stan – I think Hey Hey is the biggest pile of garbage ever produced. So if it was Hey Hey with the Dr I still wouldn’t have watched it.

Also, I think most of us a referring to the attitude that comes from most uni students – I doubt anyone has a problem with people furthering their education.

Unfortunately you cannot break everyone’s viewing habits down into a formula – too many peeps with too many different tastes.

Geez! This month ABC has been giving Nine a run-for-their-money in the Axe Happy Awards of 2009.

Also, from most of the comments here, because it wasn’t ‘Hey Hey With The Doctor’ it wasn’t worth airing. How dare some people go to uni? And love it!

Without Jay there to pull his head in The Doctor is absolutely awful. This show was unwachable.

John Bailey, in a word: everything. Some of us like music created for art, not money.

Good riddance
I hate the whole Triple J “alternative” vibe.
What is wrong with commercial ( ie:music that is popular and sells) music.

I found it really irritating too – same vibe as Hungry Beast – we go to uni therefore we are soooooo cool and smart.

Much preferred the Hack half hour. I loved Recovery when it was on but don’t think Dyaln Lewis can do ’serious’ so if he took over from Lindsay I’d say the show would be much the same.

Pretty much given up on Good Game now too – bloody Hex!

JTV was great and I always watched it but this incarnation Really lagged and I switched off, especially with them not showing it on Saturday mornings. And I actually like The Doctor.

Jesus, what’s with you guys? The show was solid and absolutely at its best after The Doctor took the hosting reins. Disappointed.

He was awkward listening on the radio and a little less awkward on television however am very surprised he had 4 years of employment (well it is the ABC, not monitored by performance). So glad to see the breakfast team on JJJ replaced too….. They we just so obnoxious and very rarely funny however i think they cracked themselves up..

I just want a better show. Its pretend alternative, uni-student stylings have not made great viewing. I hope it comes back with a host like Dylan Lewis in a different more serious format with a comedic sharp edge.

I found the show terrible, but love to watch a standalone version of Hack – that is excellent on the radio!
