New show aired last night. Watched large chunks of it intermittently interrupted by Family Guy, didn't mind it.

It's just missing something and I'm not sure what it is....

I too flicked in and out of the show but overall I thought it was pathetic. akermanis is an airhead and his blond hair and black facial hair makes me want to harm myself. A tired Englishman at the helm and a couple of women who struggled to crack one-liners didn't do it for me.

Not a fan of Meshel Laurie. I do like Akker and Reucassel but yeah, it really needed a better format.

I flicked over once during The Amazing Race, and won't be flicking back ever again. I don't want to spend an hour listening to a panel of four dickheads talking about big issues like "do you mind being called a bogan". I give the show 3 weeks.

this is all hilarious really. I wonder if any network jocks are on SA Footy to read this critique. I did enjoy the Gruen Transfer and was hoping this show would be of a similar genre or quality but alas it failed. Thank God for remotes I reckon

its worse then Eddies sports quiz show

Dicko doesnt have the charisma or voice to be a host on tv, he doesnt demand attention from the viewer, his voice is too soft and airy-fairy

Only watched when ads were on Amazing Race but that was enough. Dickos pauses between words were driving me nuts. Agree, maximum of three weeks.

They could make the show alot better by going out on the streets to actually get PEOPLE'S opinions.

agreed the show wont last, the first half was woeful but it picked up a bit in the 2nd half. that fat sheila should smack her wardrobe people in the face for getting her to wear that hideous outfit - akin to me wearing speedo's - not a good look. Thought aker held the show together when it was floundering, it may get a gig next week but i will be surprised if it is still on our screens any longer than that.

i personally thought it was actually goin to be serious with a bit of humour.. but it was more of a game show, which i felt lacked any credibility. i nearly through the tv controller at the tv everytime dicko repeated the questions. Denton would be perfect for the role.

I had high hopes for this show.

Finally a show with intelligence........oh how I was wrong!!! :roll:

Dicko was simply awful.....seemed uncomfortable in the role and what he said looked very scripted.

Production was terrible too.....edits of the audience laughing when you could see it was "cut and pasted" from the editing floor.

I dont see this lasting anymore than 3 weeks.

Shame as I thought it had something to offer. :(

When was the last time Channel 10 had anything intelligent on it!
