Enemy of Average PART TWO - Australian TV + the Logies


It came to my attention whilst I was in West Hollywood recently how extensive and wonderful American TV is, major actors have moved from the big screen to the small screen (Kevin Bacon, Glenn Close, Kathy Bates (See will be on American Horror Story: Coven later this year) and various others), new shows are popping up and succeeding (yes there are failures 666 Park Avenue & Last Resort)and getting (sorry to use this word with all the recent series based on them) cult followings.

Unfortunately yesterday a great show I just discovered Enlightened was cancelled after two seasons, however on the horizon is a BIG new series of Game of Thrones, yes the dragons and violence are back for series 3 at the end of the month and True Blood & Dexter return real soon.

But to the real purpose of the story today Australian TV and it's horrid downfall.  Last night flicking through before popping a USB into the side of the TV to sit down to watch the latest Following episode I was less than thrilled to see the major networks showcasing, Biggest Loser (I lost interest 2 maybe 3 years back), The Block (shoot me now, that bogan that hosts it, enough said, and the casting go Channel Nine and your white Australia) & MKR, OMG I really feel when I have been requested to watch this show, what brain cells I retained from being a bit of a party boy from years 19-23 I lose every time Manu or Pete opens their mouths.

Now we have been a reality TV nation with Celebrity Splash, The Great Bake Off, Australia's Got Talent, X Factor & The Voice all on the way, hooray more talent competitions, more cooking shows and I think OMG another renovation show is on the way, Winter is going to be so good with all this quality viewing, I wish Dexter and True Blood weren't on so I could focus all my TV viewing hours on random fuckwits who think they can cook, sing, entertain or lose 50 KG.

So I think you get Australian TV (currently) sucks giant big balls, and the Logies for 2013 only put this front and centre with the Most Popular categories being dominated by Home & Away, Packed to the Rafters (can they axe this already) and House Husbands.  The Most Outstanding categories voted on by industry people is a little more enlightening at least recognizing programs like Redfern Now, Tangle & Go Back to Where You Came From.  At least ABC is trying with the new Josh Thomas show a bit of fun, a second season of Redfern Now on the way and promising shows with a little more edge than the mundane Packed to the Rafters story lines.

So wrapping up cause it's breakfast time, Australian TV is really rubbish right now so maybe do yourself a favour buy Girls Season One on DVD or get Foxtel and support some super new US shows where at least they are putting money into decent dramas which challenge you and require some thought. Yes trash like Dallas and the now cancelled 90210 are even way more interesting than another mind numbing hour of Loser or MKR.

Why indulge in Fefleshlight when one can easily transmute this most potential source of energy into more creative uses is not
that easy: you'd need to know who invented Fahrenheit? At the time I had been grinding my pillow again.

There has never really been any solid evidence for this idea
of 'something out of nothing' concept. Indeed, Malaysia could not have realized its environmental goals without the cooperation of the industry.
By adapting the latest in computer software, parts are now removed from

To digress for just a moment, I have approached the use of game bibles
for story development solely from the perspective of the hero thus far.
It differs from others in its use of informal language and lack of descriptive analysis.
The entire game story should be built around what the main character or hero wants and
needs.
