2012 Report Card - Ch9

2012 was Channel 9's best year in a long time (and they needed it to be after the annus horribilis of 2011). A lot of their reality and drama product delivered very strong ratings and they held charge with the number one show for the year - the breakout hit that was The Voice Australia. Their NewsCAFF products improved its position under new leadership, and their newest addition to their morning schedule took up the challenge and beat the reigning champion a couple of times - something even they wouldn't have predicted. The network even ended the year on an incredible note with what looks to be a done deal over their debt equity issues (all … [Read more...]

Wil Anderson - host of Gruen Sweat

The Olympics cometh - and so this week it means the bulk of the finales and the start of a few shows to tide over those not watching "That Big Sporting Event In London" for the next couple of weeks. Downton Abbey & Revenge finish up for Ch7 - both of them hits for the network, delivering solid ratings and heralding the return of both period drama and prime time soap opera as successful TV. Following the final episode of Revenge, the new Christina Applegate/Wil Arnett sitcom Up All Night kicks off on Monday and it's pretty funny. A better insight to the egos of TV than it is a parody of parenting. The Shire is back for another delightful … [Read more...]

Cast - Dumb, Drunk & Racist

Short of the launch of The Voice Australia this week will be the biggest we'll see this year - the season finales/grand finals of both Dancing With The Stars AND the two-part finale of The Voice Australia. Amidst this chaos, Man vs Wild pops back up, and Pictures Of You has one of the funniest men alive in Ross Noble on to talk about his life reflected in his photos - it's such a great series. This week, one of the most important series since Go Back To Where You Came From starts on ABC2 - Dumb, Drunk & Racist. Made by the same production company in Cordell Jigsaw there's definite comparisons and yet Joe Hildebrand adds a distinctly … [Read more...]

Hamish & Andy's Euro Gap Year

After an underwhelming start it found it's feet once the stars spent more time out of the studio. With Hamish & Andy's Euro Gap Year the boys in question will be out and about more often which will make all the difference. How funny it will be is up to Hamish & Andy. We'll be watching, if only to get the answer to the question about his "timeslot tatt" from last year - different time in 2012, so has it changed? From the press release: After immersing themselves in American culture last year, Hamish and Andy have decided you can never stop learning and it would therefore be irresponsible not to take another gap year in 2012. The Nine … [Read more...]

MolksTVTalk the Podcast – S02E13 – Logies Live Event

Hamish Blake - 2012 Gold Logie winner

Congratulations to Hamish Blake, winner of the 2012 Gold Logie award. Blake beat out an impressive list of nominees including 2011 winner Karl Stefanovic, dual 2012 silver Logie winner Adam Hills, 2012 silver Logie winner Asher Keddie, Carrie Bickmore and Esther Anderson. It capped off what was a VERY long broadcast filled with the usual lengthy speeches, gaffes, mediocre performances and controversy. The Logies is always enjoyable though halfway through you realise it's very late and there's still so much of it to go! Certainly Channel 9 need to look at broadcasting the program live in future years so as to save from spoilers (be they … [Read more...]

Raising Hope

Oh. Em. Gee. Boy do we at MolksTVTalk know how to jump on a bandwagon. You may look in One Direction, but we'll point you in the other One Direction. #1D. And so forth. With the Logies all but upon us there was lots to talk about there, including the recording of our very special Logies LIVE podcast this coming Sunday night. It's sure to be fun, so if you're in Brisbane/South East Queensland make sure you come down and watch the show and join in the podcasting fun. There's also a crapload* of new programs about to start and we had to make sure you were aware. So be aware, people. Foxtel also did some stuff worth mentioning, some people … [Read more...]

2012 Logies Nominees

2012 TV Week Logie Awards

The Logies are back for another year, and there's the usual batch of surprises - both for the inclusions as much as the omissions. Given his 'nice guy' status Hamish Blake was always going to be lining up for a raft of awards this year, and the Gold Logie nomination isn't outrageous. Not one nomination (especially a Most Outstanding one) for Angry Boys seems incongruous with the critical acclaim heaped on the series by the industry. The nominations for Asher Keddie and Rob Carlton for their roles in Paper Giants are thoroughly deserved, as is the nomination for the telemovie itself. Can Karl make it 2 for 2 in 2012? Keep an eye on Ch9's … [Read more...]

Hamish & Andy's Gap Year

We all knew it was coming. We all knew it was gonna be in the UK and likely into Europe. What we all didn't know was that it "consistently won it's timelsot" - and for 9 of the 10 weeks it aired in 2011, it did. It will indeed be interesting to see what shenanigans the boys get up to, especially in light of Hamish's Gold Logie nomination. Those deep pockets at Channel 9 will certainly provide lots of opportunity... From the press release: After immersing themselves in American culture last year, Hamish and Andy have decided you can never stop learning and it would therefore be irresponsible not to take another gap year in 2012.

PREDICTION: The Misses of 2012

10/01/2012 by 3 Comments
Lisa McCune - Reef Doctors

Listing shows here is not intended to be venomous. Not everything works (Live From Planet Earth, anyone?). Some shows need more 'time in development'. Other shows are simply misguided from the start, or on the wrong network. Either way, I'm sure we'll see our share of misses in 2012. I hope for the sake of TV being made in Australia that I'm wrong, but let's start with these shows... ABC1 Auction Room - Hosted by William McInnes, it's a look at Australia's thirst for antiques and auctions, and smacks of Antiques Roadshow. While there will be a market for this kind of program it's not going to be massive. Photo Finish - A reality show … [Read more...]
