Agree Rush deserved a mention. Top show. Disagree with their choices for Int. Dramas.. FF wasn’t good at all. NCIS is my favourite show from the US.

This story is unlikely to change the low opinion many have of local TV critics.

PS: I could never work out the point of Sarah Wilson on MasterChef – until the celebrity edition, and she was suddenly missed. The chefs are poor hosts and should stick to judging.

I have to agree that Rush should have got a mention and I thought the first Underbelly was far superior to Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities.

I also love Satisfaction so thought that would get a mention. I found this series of Packed to the Rafters not as good as Season 1 either.

Who cares what critics think.

Most are usually frustrated film makers/musicians/producers/writers that could not actually make it within the industry so now all they can do is “comment” on the industry. Critics = Losers.

Where was Good News Week.That is one great show particularly for those of us fed up of the crap SBS shoves at us in the same timeslot on Mondays and during ratings seasons the people who don’t give a crap for Crime Shows or those Desperate Housewives/Brothers and Sisters largely aimed at female audiences nonsense kind of programmes.

Pathetic choices in factuals.

Jesters and 30 Seconds both excellent? Couldn’t disagree more. They were mildly interesting at first but neither was funny let alone excellent. I don’t rate any of these critics’ opinions.

in an interview on ebroadcast ch7 said that TVburp was coming back in a new timeslot. and with a few other hints at the same fact earlier i think it is pretty much confirmed for a 2nd season. looks like it might be a pet project for 7.

i hope it does well, not just for TVburp but for comedy in general. people complain that there is not enough australian comedy on tv but there is not much motive for the networks to do anything about it when Australians do not watch good comedy when it is handed to them.

I thought Rush might have rated more of a mention here as well. I don’t quite understand the huge praise over Underbelly 2, I thought it was lukewarm at best. Not helped by Newton Junior.

And nobody mentioned The Gruen Transfer?

And I’m going to put it out there:
Hidden Gem of the Year The 7PM Project. I know it’s had plenty of critics but particularly in more recent weeks the show has improved from the confusion it tended to suffer in the beginning. Maybe now H&A and 2.5 Men are out of the picture for a few weeks, 7PM might start to pick up.

Do these people know their genres? Home and Away gets a mention in drama, Border Security and Recruits are considered the same genre as docos, and they can’t think of anything better than John Safran for comedy. In fact I don’t remember being amused once in an episode of John Safran’s Race Relations. I would have picked Good News Week for comedy, despite the fact it runs for too long. And TV Burp, while I would have thought making it cheaper would result in the show not existing, is not too bad actually, though I would have put it in Comedy rather than Gem of The Year.

What? Double Take was one of the dogs of the year?

But it was the best sketch show on Aussie TV since the Micallef P(r)ogram(m)e.

I’m joking of course,Double Take blew
