[font=Verdana]In [/font][font=Verdana]Australia[/font][font=Verdana] we have 5 free to air TV stations.[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]**ABC , **[/font][font=Verdana]**SBS , **[/font][font=Verdana]**7 , **[/font][font=Verdana]**9 , **[/font][font=Verdana]10 .[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]The first 2 are government owned channels… Documentaries, World news etc…(Virtually no ads.)[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]The last 3 provide the main stream shows, Simpson’s, NYPD, CSI, Monk, Friends, Raymond, Alias, movies etc…. (Lots of ads)[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]While I am typing this I am watching “Law & Order”, after that I will watch “NCIS”, then late movie “Dirty Harry”.[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]So what’s the point of this thread ?[/font]
[font=Verdana]We have laws that force Tv channels to have a % of Australian made shows.[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]The thing is, I can’t stand any Australian made Movies or Tv shows.[/font]
[font=Verdana]To me they are all amateur crap !.[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]Obviously part of the reason for this is financial. They can only afford one take, US movies/shows can retake till the cows come home.[/font]
[font=Verdana]But as far as I am concerned that’s no excuse for C grade grap and wish they would drop that stupid % law and just give me american shows.[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]Have any Americans or anyone else had the misfortune of watching Australian rubbish ?[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]Ever heard of “Home & Away” / “Neighbors” ?[/font]
[font=Verdana][/font]
[font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana]Kyle Minoge & Holy Valance both got their start on “Neighbors”[/font]
[font=Verdana]And that new Aussie Blonde chick in Alias got her start in “Home & Away”[/font]
