Ads | Glee | Packed To The Rafters | Police Ten 7 | Shortland Street | The Cult | TVNZ 7 | Raves
Some random thoughts on TV lately
- Anyone notice Libby's hair on Shortland Street lately has been to die for? Amazing!
- Oliver = Joey 2.0 on Shortland Street, but Oliver is nowhere near as good as Joey. Oliver = medical professional who secretly experiments treatments on patients to aid his research and doesn't mind if they die. Joey = medical professional who secretly operated on patients to aid his skills and doesn't mind if they die. Both had dead ex-es.
Joey was better because: 1. we got to know (and like) him before realising he was secretly Mr. Evil. Some of us even felt sorry for him. 2. there was huge mystery and suspense.
We know Oliver is bad right from early on, before we've really got to know him. - There's now two "cults" in the news. Heh. Makers of The Cult will be hoping it helps their ratings.
- I love Packed to the Rafters and wish they were a real family who lived next door. (Except I have lovely next door neighbours.)
- That Pacific Blue ad gets stuck in my head something chronic. Meh.
- I really love the new "This little light of mine" Telecom ad. I want to slow the ad down and take a closer look at all the cute drawings. Their scribble logo doesn't look nearly so bad as I thought it would at the end.
- I'm not sure what I think of TVNZ7's ad with Bill English. Sometimes I think it's super clever, other times I'm wary of it being a political ad. Did he get paid? Whose idea was it do have him in there?
- I love Glee!!! It actually makes me cry and laugh most episodes. Can't wait for it to start on TV3 and everyone else can rave about it too!
- I'm sick of ONE News script writers using: "we can reveal" and "exclusive".
- TV moment of the week: women on Birdland telling presenter Jeremy Wells that a TV3 reporter accidentally dropped and killed a beloved penguin when doing a story on them.
- I've actually rediscovered Police Ten 7 thanks to the Blowing on the Pie clip. Man there are some crazy people out there!!

The NZ release of television on DVD is often the result of a relatively informal discussion between the broadcaster, the DVD distributor of the series and the original distributor of the series for television. (Some deals with bigger companies may be more structured and have specified windows.)
The parties usually work together to ensure the DVD release does not happen until after the NZ on air premiere, though occasionally things fall through the cracks and series accidentally get released too early.
I don't believe Supernatural series 4 has been released locally yet though, which is why I suggested Amazon - particularly since the NZ dollar is good against the USA at the minute!

Isn't there a law saying DVD companies cannot release a TV series on DVD in New Zealand until it's played on television?

Supernatural series 4 is available on DVD from Amazon if you have a multi-region DVD player -not sure whether it's out here yet. That's one show that just keeps getting better and better!

Did anybody see TV1 Fairgo last Wednesday on TV1 11th?
What a real unprofessional effort I dont know how many times I heard the word "pick" almost as if the word had just been invented. it made the whole Fairgo team look like a lot of sloppy slurppers

I just finished watching last nights episode of the Jacquie Brown Diaries. There was quite a few laugh out loud moments, mostly at the expense of Claire Chitham aka Waverly.
And next weeks episode looks classic.
If you don't find it funny, you must be dead.
some dick watching tv3
The TV3 female sports reader still has flatulence

aaroninmpact - i noticed that as well. you have too wonder why they even bothered starting season 4 if they were going to take it off after a few weeks.

Three episodes into Season 4 of Supernatural and TV2 are taking it off after airing next weeks episode.
Give me a break.

You'll find COPS way more fun than Police ten 7, I know it's nice for a bit of home action, but man the stuff they find on the most innocent of people is hilarious. So many people do crack over there!

Agree with Packed to the Rafters I love it!! and season 2 is even better.

There's now two "cults" in the news. Heh. Makers of The Cult will be hoping it helps their ratings.
I bet the producers of The Cult are rubbing their hands with glee.
Oh wow, see what I just did there?

I love Glee too. It's about time we had a musical-ish tv show. Sue is brilliant. She's my favourite.
I have also noticed the Shortland Street ones

"I've actually rediscovered Police Ten 7 thanks to the Blowing on the Pie clip. Man there are some crazy people out there!!"Yes, but how many days do the camera crew have to tag along with the police before they get the footage they want?

Totally with you on Libby's hair and Packed to the Rafters.
