TEN to revive Young Talent Time....and it's a knockout?

[RJM]

After watching that footage all I can say is:

FOOTY CHICK TO THREAD!!!

[zipzap]

It was hosted by a vaguely American guy called Tim Evans (obviously not THAT Tim Evans) and I *think* Ron Barassi was involved too. It's one of those weird things - like a COOL Saturday morning kids' show called Jason of Star Command! - that nobody I've met seems to remember...I'm beginning to wonder if I didn't make it up

No, it rang a bell to me also - and we're both right:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_of_Star_Command

Tim Evans, IIRC, also did musical spots on Graham Kennedy's "Coast To Coast" in the late 80's to early 90's, and indeed, Ron Barassi was the referee on Almost Anything Goes.

Nice one CK. 70s / early 80s kiddies TV was the best!

[GWW]

Was Tim Evans also a judge on one of those talent shows like Pot Luck or something like that?

Naahhh...they're LATE 80s - a world of difference from EARLY 80s FC

It's like comparing the Chanel Niners with Dean Davis, Helen Woods & Winky Dink to C'mon Kids when they brought in Winky's cousin Frank with a mohawk! I never quite recovered...

The days when The Super Cartoon Show, Earlybirds, Crackerjack all ruled the morning kids TV roost?

I think the problem with the current show especially for South Australian viewers is that not having state sides means it loses that element of having a team to support which gave the show alot of its excitment especially for me anyway.

Watched it the other night and for me there was no care factor i didnt care what happened because the teams didnt affect me in anyway except for the Maccas team because thats one big running advert for McDonald.

Bring back the states and it may bring back the excitement imho.

[MightyEagles]

I agree, I hate the new version, bring back the state v state version I say.

[Footy Chick]

I may well be the only person I know that''s excited about this but can't wait unitl Jan 22- return of YTT

[overloaded]

What a load of carp!

[A Mum]

What a load of carp!

Seems to be your favourite saying lately OL
Maybe you should just make it your signature...lol

[overloaded]

[Johno6]

i saw an ad the other day and some long haired guy called tyler was "singing" and "dancing" i thought it was a piss take but it was real....

wont last too long u wouldnt think

I liked watching the original, I just hope that this stands up to it, unlike that other comeback show calling itself 'It's a Knockout'

Somehow the pathetic Team Maccas managed to push Victoria on the champions wall, but Victoria scrape home in the 3rd place playoff.

The Grand Final between NSW and Queensland is on Friday night.

I've enjoyed It's a Knockout but having the same 4 teams for the whole series became quite monotonous - exacerbated by the dominance of Queensland and the constant poor showings by Team Maccas.

[Brucetiki]

In what has been a disastrous non-ratings period for 10, It's a Knockout is the only channel 10 show to make the top 100 in both Adelaide and nationally

[Brucetiki]

The Grand Final was much closer than expected, with Queensland taking a 12-10 lead going into the final round, but they had an easy win on the Champions Wall to win the Billy J Smith Cup, ad $15 000 for Surf Life Saving Queensland.

[Brucetiki]

So far I must say I'm loving the new YTT, though did they do the auditions in public housing estates with all the bogan spelling of the YTT cast members names

[Brad]

Thought the first episode lived up to expectations and it should go well, be interesting how the ratings go.

[Thiele]

Loved the new YTT last night
