The Voice Australia - now it's terrible.

Sigh.

In the beginning, I actually sorta maybe kinda liked The Voice Australia.

However, after a few weeks of it being on for nearly six hours over the course of a few days, I started to get a bit tired of it.

Another week later, and I cannot fucking stand it anymore. Not only is it sucking up way too much TV time each week, the constant mainstream media coverage is even worse - but then again, I suppose that is my fault for paying any attention to the media.

Please go away now. Except you, Delta. You can stay for as long as you like.

My girlfriend even said this to me this week, during the brief 15 seconds The Voice was on TV: "Please watch something else or even play Xbox. I'm really bored of this show now."

That pretty much says it all.

You almost did it, channel 9. You almost made me almost slightly potentially like a reality show. Instead, you got greedy and now I hate you even more.

Sigh.

South Park S16E07: Cartman Finds Love - back to basics.

I'm a bit late on this one - which is clearly devastating to the two people who read this blog - but whatever.

The final episode of the first half of season 16 of South Park - Cartman Finds Love - was an enjoyable romp.

Stop beating successful concepts into the ground until I hate them.

So a network delivers a successful reality TV show that rates through the roof. Fantastic, good for them.

Why do they feel the immediately need to completely bombard the audience with it multiple times a week so they become inherently sick of it?

'Celebrity' reality shows - a flawed premise from the beginning.

For almost every 'successful' reality show, there's a spin off with the word 'Celebrity' prefixed to the title.

South Park S16E06: I Should Never Have Gone Ziplining - Amusing.

I Should Never Have Gone Ziplining was a, erm, interesting episode of South Park.

Presented as one of those re-enacted hellish experience documentaries, it was certainly a fresh take on the narrative - and it was nailed perfectly, causing me to giggle with each cut to the boys as they remembered some insignificant detail of the day.

The Voice Australia - not terrible.

Over the course of the week, I have been exposed to Australia's rendition of The Voice. Not of my own free will, of course, but merely as a hapless bystander as my girlfriend decided to run a TV monopoly.

Normally this would send me running for the nearest gaming console/computer/wall to bash my head against, but none of this happened.

TV Sucks.

Generic first blog post contents.

Greetings, welcome to the blog, blah blah. Not that anybody is reading this.
