MolksTVTalk – the Podcast (S01E17)

Million Dollar Drop

2011 - the year that television kept on giving. And taking. But mostly giving. But when it took, it took HARD. For this very special review episode we were joined by Scott Ellis - media writer for Fairfax newspapers including the Sydney Morning Herald.

It wasn’t quite a Knockout

It's A Knockout title card

I held high hopes for the reboot of It's A Knockout. It was never going to be able to match the fond memories of the original 80's version featuring Billy J Smith, Fiona Macdonald, and later, Ricky May. After the first ten minutes I was thinking this updated version was a massive mistake. HG Nelson usually has such a good nose for television - it didn't feel like it. His all-in, balls-and-all style missed the counterpoint of his usual screen partner in Rampaging Roy Slaven. Brad McEwan was too straight a straight man, though his role was to keep the show rolling. Then there was the continual double entendres, intentional or otherwise. It … [Read more...]

It's coming... just like I told you last week. It's A Knockout will return to Australian TV screens over summer on Ch10, hosted by HG Nelson with added Charli Robinson & Brad McEwan.

This week, we're celebrating the first season of The Renovators and the finale involving the sale of all 6 houses tonight (Wed 12/10) on Channel 10. SteveMolk & Josh get their fanboyisms on and talk up a storm with the judge with the best asian goatee ever, Peter Ho. There's also a great disagreement about who's responsibility it is to advance expectations around television advertisments, with particular reference to the numerous ad breaks in the Bathurst 1000 telecast and the complete lack of creativity therein. Yes, "therein". In this fully renovated episode: News Of The World (??)... Everybody wins at everything. All the time. … [Read more...]
