    I'm increasingly of the view that while broadcasters would like these
    programs to be more popular, their primary function is to fill Australia content requirements as cheaply as possible, and if they bomb on the
    first day, that's not a huge concern.

    Sylvia.

    It's a concern to the taxpayers subsidizing this soapy rubbish
    (I have not seen the program, but I think I know.)

    Curious anomaly here in that the Dear People can spent in China all
    they want, while Oz-content products are neglected.

    Might be. Much of the Australian shows that I've watched lately are documentaries made by the ABC in the 2000s which I found online.
    The latest: Constructing Australia (2008), and The Voyage of the
    Nautilus (2001). The ABC don't seem to be interested in making
    those sorts of shows now. I don't know why, they were good at it.

    Of course they aren't likely to appeal to the MAFS audience, but
    somehow nobody seems to be happy with current TV programming.

    I'm not actually stupid enough to watch any of shit like that .

    content requirements as cheaply as possible, and if they bomb on the

    Means that its stupid policy tho. Labor is about to force that on Netflix
    etc too. Going to be interesting if they just bare their arse at Labor.

    documentaries made by the ABC in the 2000s which I found online.
    The latest: Constructing Australia (2008), and The Voyage of the

    I did watch Constructing Australia (2008) when it was broadcast.

    Didn't watch The Voyage of the Nautilus (2001).

    The ABC don't seem to be interested in making
    those sorts of shows now.

    They do make other docos tho.

    I don't know why, they were good at it.

    Likely hardly anyone watched them.

    Of course they aren't likely to appeal to the MAFS audience, but

    Plenty clearly do watch plenty of it but its hard to compete
    with Netflix etc where you can watch it any time you like.


    you can watch anything on FTA tv anytime via their streaming services.
    ie. 10plus, 9now, etc.,

    I think Foxtel must be dying a slow death with all the competition that
    exists now.

    Both are a load of shit, try watching something worthwhile like Tokyo
    vice (SBS catchup)

    watched it last night. I don't like shows where you need to be reading
    and watching at the same time, so I won't bother with it. also the eps
    start at number 5, so there's no knowledge of the storyline or what has
    gone before.

    Me neither.

    Me neither.

    If you can't be bothered to put the effort in, go watch MAFS, I'm told
    that it doesn't tax the brain at all.

    No point in doing that when that series isnt
    anything special and involves that stupidiity.

    go watch MAFS,

    I never ever watch any shit like that.

    Line of Duty leaves Tokyo Vice for dead

    sure does!

    and doesnt involve the terminal stupidity of subtitles.

    that too


    Tokyo isnt exactly notorious for a desperate crime scene.

    also the eps start at number 5, so there's no knowledge of the
    storyline or what has gone before.

    It is torrentable.
