We all know that 90% of the cocaine business is done on the sets of Aussie soap sitcoms. Id say these are some smart poms. Coke at a discount. Yeehaww

Rag on them all you want, but the whole 'back in the day' thing doesn't fly. They were always deadset awful.

tell that to the poms, because that's the only reason why they have kept these shows running. because the poms still love watching them. even though australians think they are shit

Well, when you put them up against EastEnders and Coronation Street they start to look pretty good.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

I went from double episodes of funny Malcolm in the Middle to GAYbores and 7PMS ProSUCKYshow.

Also now that 7PMS is back, the show the repeats on late at night. Which means a) Letterman gets pushed back an hour or half an hour (Depending when they do their hour show) and b) Sex in the City has been replaced because god knows why they're replaying it when no one even watches it at the 7PM timeslot!

ARGH!!!!!!

/rant

Lol. Chill out.. (hard to do in this weather I know). I do agree with you about Sex n the city.. being on holidays and up late every night it was good to have something half decent to watch. Repeats of the 7pm show??? Jesus christ.

Err.... I'll put my hand up. I've done that tour.. and I was born and bred in Melbourne. Does it help I went with a Pom who was staying with me at the time????

Even worse are the Poms that buy the houses that are used as Neighbours houses from the outside.That court must just about be full of Poms now.

Wouldn't it be easier to list all the non cringeworthy moments?

 

[Kerrby]

Massive cringeworthy moment then.

The blonde chick was talking to Lucas in the hospital about how she's a bad friend and Lucas didn't reply. Then she gets angry and says "Fine ignore more"..... Lucas was still asleep after having a fit .

Then she was saying "Some people will do anything to get out of work" and "If I find out this is some attention seeking act.... I'll never let you win pool again".


Bahahaha, it's so bad.

This 'Bouncer's Dream' mention made me look it up on YouTube

And here's a funny Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie piss take of 1980s Australian soaps

I've never watched more than a few minutes of Coronation Street but EastEnders shits all over Home and Away and Neighbours (or at least it did back in 2004/05 when I watched it). Of course, it doesn't take much to shit all over those two.

This topic has put me in the mood to watch these shows tonight

Bump, not cringeworthy but who is that blondey on neighbours? Absolute piece.

Edit: Neighbours is a milf/cougar factory, wowwwwwweeeeee.

Andrew Robinson?

ahaahah donna I think.

 

[charcoalchicken]

haha I've never understood why the poms like Neighbours so much..

Maybe it's the accent or they like to laugh at us or something.

But I can say though never been a fan of either show I dislike Home & Away more it just seems so shitty to me for some reason

 

[charcoalchicken]

haha just reading through this thread makes me think the scriptwriters are taking the piss surely...

Also I like the idea of a David Lynch type character on both shows it would be awesome. (Or a David Lynch type storyline for that matter).

Or someone just a little kooky eg. Christopher Walken, Crispin Glover, Johnny Depp etc. That would be some humorous entertainment. Just to see how these uptight model citizens react to them.

Donna.
But Libby is the best looking IMO.

Home & Away had a short-lived character last year - Detective Robbie Robertson - who was somewhat similar to Agent Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks.

Vinny is dead. That sucks. I was hoping for a return someday.

That's the one, amazing. What's her real name? (I'm not a stalker, just saying..)

Much appreciated, her name fails beyond comprehension.

Andrew Robinson?

Speaking of that charachter - how was the embarrassing hissy fit the other night!

Went outside, kicked some potplants over, walked around in a circle and shoved 4 bins over - and went back inside again.

Pissed myself laughing.
