If you do nothing else this week as far as television viewing goes – watch the finale of The Block and the first episode of Underbelly Razor. The former so you can be sure it finished and the latter because it is simply brilliant drama and will have you hooked for the rest of the 13 weeks it will air. A delicious run to the end of the year for Ch9, with Farmer Wants a Wife starting on Monday as well. That said, Ch7 are starting Packed To The Rafters again this week (bumping the finale of Winners and Losers to after it – ratings generating gold)… so who’s going to win Wednesday?

It’s all eyes on Channel 9 Sunday night, starting with the finale of The Block. Given the depressed housing market in Melbourne at the moment, will the work and promotion be enough to give the four couples a dream ending of a decent sale price? Find out tonight from 6:30pm, leading into Underbelly Razor – which I cannot talk up enough. It’s just brilliant.
Farmer Wants a Wife ride back into town on Monday to Channel 9 with a special 90 minute episode introducing the farmers and their potential dates. It’s must see for fans, and the early eps are amazing examples of what some women will do to get their face on TV.
The first episode of Joy Of Sets is now in the can, and soon to be seen on Channel 9. Another Zapruder production, and featuring Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee, this is sure to be a hit amongst comedy nerds and general TV tragics alike. IT will be good if it gains wider appeal, as it will likely include some of the smartest sketch comedy going around. Airdate yet to be announced, but KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES…
What are your thoughts on Friday Night Lights? I’m loving it – Friday nights on ABC2 are better than ABC1 these days. On that, any news on when/if Breaking Bad is coming back?
