Wilfred: Old dog, new tricks.
Australia’s favourite anarchic mutt, Wilfred, is on his way back. Production on the second series is currently nearing completion, and as TV Tonight learned whilst visiting the shoot, the SBS talking dog is more cynical than ever.
Wilfred is already a cult favourite after just one series on SBS. The creation of Jason Gann and Adam Zwar, it began life as a film in TropFest 2002 and aired as a fully-fledged TV series in 2007 under Renegade Productions (RocKwiz, Ned Kelly Uncovered), but …
Jon Olb: Hitmaker
With three hit shows Director Jon Olb has been keeping a frenetic pace lately. But if ever there was truth to ‘making hay while the sun shines’ it’s now. The economic gloom has powered his television gigs, Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation, Spicks and Specks and Thank God You’re Here.
As Series Director on all three -and on three different networks, no less- he has to be one of the hottest properties in television right now. So while all his shows are firing, Olb’s recent workload has been relentless. He’s lucky all three …

Scheduling on thin ice….
Mark it down as change #87 to the TEN summer schedule.
The Wedge is to be pulled from schedule…. sorta….
It’s back for just one night on Saturday December 6th and replaced a week later with a repeat of Ice Road Truckers. Hard to know why it was back in the first place.
The name of the Canadian truckies’ episode is the aptly titled, “Driving on Thin Ice.” Which kinda sums up TEN’s approach to its summer schedule.
Even TV Tonight is pretty confused as to what the hell is on when.
Bogan Pride
Rebel Wilson is easily recognisable from her work in everything from early parody commercials for Australian Idol, to boisterous performances in Pizza, The Wedge and Monster House. So far her persona has been fairly synonymous with loud, cynical, mostly simple, working class characters. It remains to be seen whether there’s more depth behind her cheesy grin.
Now, thanks to her own self-devised series, Wilson has the time and freedom to prove herself.
