Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation

[Sploosh]

I agree that some of his word gags took too long to set up, but he's bloody witty and his satirical delivery has great comic timing. I'm not sure that this particular programme is the best vehicle for his talents, but he is very good at his craft.

[Rik E Boy]

Miccalef funny? Really? I must have missed all his good work. Perhaps you could put a 15 second clip together compiling his greatest work.

( Please, limit the repeating of jokes in that 15 seconds )

WTF? I wasn't a big fan of Full Frontal but there's all that stuff, The Micallef Programme which ran for three seasons on the ABC is some of the funniest televison that has ever been produced, Welcher & Welcher was a bit ordinary, Micallef Tonight on 9 was hilarious for how much he used to take the piss out of 9, his guests & Kerry Packer until Packer ripped it off the air (who could forget Micallef live on air ringing up the Channel 9 complaints dept to complain about the show not being any good) and of course Newstopia on SBS which I think was probably his best work and which ran for three pretty successful seasons on SBS. He did make a mistake leaving SBS for the likes of Ten and this stupid quiz show.

Seriously do yourself a favour and go and get on DVD Micallef In A Box (all three seasons of the Micallef Programme), The Expurgated Micallef Tonight or The Incompleat Micallef (his stuff on Full Frontal).

LMAO. While you are out buying that one for the Boonster you might as well throw in a copy of the 2007 AFL Grand Final ha ha.

Episode 3 was the second highest rated show on Tuesday and actually increased it's viewers from the second episode with 1.613m.

In other words Channel Ten/Micallef have a winner on their hands.

[southee]

Bloody awful show.

Still one of the top rated shows...the mind boggles!!!

Who watches this sort of s*it??

Yep, and Shannon Noll has had 2 number 1 hits. Doesn't make it right though.

He's had 3

[Booney]

One of 'em wasn't his song.

Am watching the show for the first time tonight, the fact that im typing this while im watching it probably means that its not striking me as great viewing, although had to laugh at Harold from Neighbours doing a Steve Irwin impersonation.

Episode 4 last night was the highest rated show on TV yesterday with 1.648m viewers.

[Lunchcutter]

was very funny in the last segment where the host... said now these contestants need to start the lawnmower.. then..... blah blah blah.... then when the competition began and the contestants began starting the mowers he says "don't worry there's no petrol in the mowers" - just as the mowers started....WTF!!!! how can they be started if there is no fuel in the tank ....

Episode 5 last night was the second highest rated show for Tuesday with 1.625m viewers.

I Enjoy the show and i watch it when i can it is very different and Yes Wierdos like me watch it.

[Gingernuts]

Don't mind this show and think Micaleff has warmed up too the hosting duties nicely. They were all a bit stiff early on but I'm finding the show quite entertaining now.

Certainly more entertaining than the usual 100th repeat of a bought in American sitcom that usually graces that timeslot.

[Gozu]

Channel Ten have extended the season of TBYG by four to 17 episodes.

I'm another in the minority with you Strawb. Love the show and I don't know why. Hate the Josh guy but Pickering more than makes up for him.

[tigerhutch]

looks like the minority are the majority, I think its quite funny most of the time

Since my previous post have watched the show a couple of more times and its starting to grow on me. Have always found Micaleff quite funny, especially back in the days of full frontal when he did the David McGhan, Milo Kerrigan and Fabio stuff.

My first reaction was that it would be culled after 1 week. But it's grown on me too. I think if it was on the ABC they could afford to edit it down to a pacy 1/2 hour. I have always been a Micaleff fan so I am happy for him.

Like Spicks and Specks you can play along at home which I think is the appeal. S & S is better though.

Agree with that Hondo, S & S is better, wish they would make that a bit longer though, the half hour seems to go so quick.
