An Update on Morning TV

(It's gone completely shit).

Channel Ten often strikes me as a very juvenile network. It's in house productions are all Big Brother housemates showing their "absolute fav OMG rofl" youtube videos or chubby camp guys hosting televised cook-offs (you know what I mean). Now for the sake of my lazyness and fondness for my own blog cast your minds (and indeed web browsers; by that I mean read it) back to my early post in which I pondered, mournfully on the fate of Cheez TV. I can wait...have you read it yet?

Finally. Fuck you read slowly. Anyway as a uni student I am required once again to get up at what my mum calls a "reasonable hour". This means that I'll occasionally turn on the TV for something to stimulate my fragile brain before trudging off to Maths. Let me just falt out say it to you. I'm talking to YOU CHANNEL TEN. The best template for a breakfast kids show is having a couple of cheeky, charismatic hosts intermitedly break from the main cartoons and educate, stimulate and thoroughly entertain the audience before they're dragged to school. What ten do is hop around between hosts and tv shows like they've got commitment issues. They have a small talent pool of 5 or so hosts and more often than not they'll be in 2 or 3 different programs all back to back. They jump from Toasted TV to Totally Wild to some Playschool ripoff with dodgy CGI. In amougnst the chaotic host mess you only get to see one fucking cartoon. Repeat: In the morning of every school day the children only get to see one half hour episode of ONE FUCKING CARTOON. That and it's fucking Bakugan, which is just some sketchy fucking anime of the Yu Gi Oh/Beyblades ilk; aimed at kids who they want to sell merchandise to. It's not so much product placement as it is story placement. It's like a story was smuggled into toy commercial. Anyway I covered alot of topics today so perhaps it's time to take a breather. I'll be back soon with some witty, game-related observations and maybe even a cheeky review or 2. But none of my readers actually give a fuck about those, do they?
