Dear Australia

[drunken_hedghog]

We're very, very sorry for all the convict joke. We're also very sorry that we sent over so many people that tried (and sometimes succeeded) in eradicating your indigenous people. We drink your Fosters in penitence.

Now will you please stop sending shit TV over and give us some of the good stuff?

Dude, seriously? What are you watching?

[drunken_hedghog]

Nothing To Declare, Neighbours, Home & Away (Shit TV)
Spicks & Specks, Good News Week (Good TV)

I feel I must protest. Nothing To Declare is Good TV(tm). No, really! You just have to be drunk/overtired/imagine the Samuel L Jackson Voiceover.

I would totally count NTD with a Sam L Jackson voiceover as Good TV. Just look at how well Go The Fuck To Sleep did with him. But it is not voiced by him. It is voiced by a smarmy idiot.

... there's good stuff?

[drunken_hedghog]

Spicks & Specks and Good News Week count as good in my book.

Jon wants to write for Australian TV, but every time we check out a drama series to see what's being made these days, it's woeful. (There must be exceptions - our reception is so bad, we're probably missing them!)

Rush
The Slap (which maybe doesn't count as TV drama because of Christos Tsiolkas.
Crownies, maybe.
A friend of mine really likes Packed to the Rafters.

We seriously need some better drama, though.

I think its kind of strange that you get Neighbours and Home & Away and we don't get EastEnders.
We get all the creepy bad crime stuff from the UK.

[drunken_hedghog]

Is that to prove that the UK is still crime-ridden and terrifying? If so, you should really get EastEnders, too.
