Wasn’t I so lucky ! I missed the first programme ! Please read ….Between the Lines… How on earth could anyone be expected to watch that

rubbish Channel 9 calls entertainment.

Its a shame that a few very talented athletes have to put themselves through that 60 minutes of television trivia.

Don’t worry champs, you’re athletic achievements will live on. That won’t.

I’ll give it a few more episodes before being dumped from the screen or abandoned to the sometimes waste bin of GO.

Pilot – more like a certainty. Eddie just can’t keep his mug out of the camera’s way, probably his own idea.

Prediction, Flop – try as you will Eddie, no one has ever been able to walk on water.

Why do they keep giving McGuire a gig? I don’t know anyone that doeskin switch off their TV when he comes on. Hell I’ve changed the channel when an advert showing him comes on!

National sports shows don’t work in Australia simply because you have to alienate either Rugby League or AFL supporters.

With so many great focused shows around that cater for so many sports, why would anyone tune into a show that barely grazes over as many sports as possible.

This all might have worked in the 80′s when people had no access to see sports they loved, but in 2009 you can watch any sporting league from anywhere in the world via cable or the internet.

‘Between the Bogans’ would be a better title.

I don’t hate Eddie. I don’t hate sport. I do hate over exposure of anyone or anything. Channel 9 is not a dedicated sports channel yet they are drawn to all things sports related even when it doesn’t make sense. I just don’t get it.

They’re obviously doing this because they have seen how well Hey Hey has done through crazy stunts, live performing acts and audience participation in the variety format. To that I say, good on them. Australian television needs more variety. I see this possibly being more of an earlier version of The Footy Show which was really good and fun.

We need more fun on our television not stupid crime shows like Bones, Castle, City Homicide, Criminal Minds.

With Nine announcing that its 2010 schedule is predominantly crime-themed, it is really good to see them balancing this schedule with variety shows like Hey Hey, Between the Lines and The Footy Show. Maybe even Top Gear Australia might head in this direction as well, I certainly think that a variety format would make the show better.

Why would Mick go back to Nine – the home of so many disasters – when Ten has given him a format and group of people that actually works for him?

Of course, I realise the answer is money. But what happens when this mess is axed in a few weeks?

I don’t get it.
I think he’s a pretty good talent.

Mick Molloy back to Channel 9?? I think Mick said it best himself, to Shaun Micallef many years ago – youtube.com/watch?v=Xe4q5UX1Zu4

Maybe wait and see what it’s like before bagging it. Mick does have a way of presenting rubbish on 9 but maybe he’s learnt something from the experience i.e get a decent script and panelists. Finch is no doubt there as eye candy only.
