I have just read on the news Channel 9 Australia has cancelled that truly awful copy of a brilliant show, Top Gear Australia :cheer::cheer::cheer:

On behalf of Channel 9 Australia (who I must point out I do not work for), I apologise to all those peoples of other nations who have had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing Australian TV at its worst (other than Home & Away and Neighbours).

Good idea at the time.... Actually, no it wasn't. You can never copy a great show like Top Gear UK. It's not the name, it's the people and their own personal way of doing things. I think I watched the first 2 episodes of the first series, then that was it.

You think that's bad? Try watching any of the truly putrid "The Real Housewives of XXXXX [insert major American city here]" on the America cable network, Bravo.

Seriously it makes me want to beat all of the people involved with those shows - the people/actors, the producers, etc.

I switch it off or complain obnoxiously if I catch my wife watching these atrocious abominations. Like there aren't enough petty, catty b****es (men and women alike), or enough personal drama, in the world already, without us having to be subjected to a bunch of rich white women complaining about their privileged lives.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming. :)

It dissapointed me that they didn't kill that Chery.

How long do you think it would have lasted with Jez, Jimmy & the Hampster?????

I'd bet on less than 3 hours :D

Any links, so I can see how terrible it is?
