Top 10 Australian Animation/Youth Programming Blocks/Wrapper Programs



#2 & #1



I really wanted to split these two.




I had it in my head that one was better than the other, but ultimately...




...the right thing to do was to jointly award them the top two spots.



Mostly because serial_thrilla threatened that there'd be consequences if I didn't put my original pick for the #2 spot in first place.




The joint winners of the countdown...









Cheez TV & RollerCoaster





























Cheez TV is iconic.

It brought anime to the masses, it was the home of action animation, it was the first time one of these wrapper programs was genuinely, unironically cool.

I also wasn't allowed to watch it, because either:
A) It was too violent, or
B) It had too many ads, or
C) Mum hated Pokemon with a passion.

There's more too it than the cartoon heavy hitters though. Jade and Ryan are legitimately charismatic, and the fact that they started hosting the show while they were still in high school added to the appeal that you were almost watching something made by kids your own age rather than stuffy adults.


However...I'd be lying if I said that I think it's as good as RollerCoaster was at it's peak.

While Cheez TV ruled the mornings, RollerCoaster was the afternoon domain, with Elliot Spencer as its king.

Whilst shows like Blue Water High and Avatar: The Last Airbender were popular, it never had the pop-culture phenomena on the level of Cheez TV's Pokemon, DragonBall and X-men.

What it did have though, was a genuine element of creative input from viewers, and it was one of the first Australian TV shows of any kind to embrace the internet through that creative input.

Both are worthy of the top spot.​

I was hoping and praying for Rollercoaster at number 1

Good bye for now... but not forever.

We've got this in the bag. This week I'll be coaching blindfolded.

As opposed to coaching blind drunk, which I have been doing every other round the past couple of years.

Will you be sure to substitute Strigoi somehow?

I don't think I ever got any of my words read out on Fetch, and that will always haunt me.

Hope it's not in a plastic bag.

How else am I meant to be blindfolded, then?

Yes

Happy Easter everyone, may y’all have a wonderful Easter filled with happiness and joy today.

Today is my favourite time of the year cause it means it’s my annual Easter Egg Hunt to collect as many eggs and funny looking objects as always but whatever you celebrate, remember that Ralph loves you for being you

Top 10 Czech footballers:

3. Adam Hlozek

A future star of the Czech Republic national football team, at only 21 years of age, he is the future of Czech football. A young and powerful centre forward, also capable of playing behind the striker but also out wide he is a proven goalscorer for both club and country. He began his career in his homeland of the Czech Republic for Sparta Prague while putting his name in the notebooks of scouts for their respective clubs, he then earned himself a transfer to Bayer Leverkusen in 2022 where he has slowly began his rise to stardom. This season for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga he has made 21 appearances and scored 2 goals in the process, mainly off the subsitute bench. International wise he got his first call up to the senior team in 2020 and has since made 31 appearances for the Czech Republic, scoring 2 goals in the process. I can definitely see him making the step up to a major European club in the future, hopefully at Dortmund.

Fifa wise he is another of my favourites for both club and country and is always my first purchase I make for Dortmund. He has always popped up with 25 plus goals. He's very good at running onto through balls through the defence, but his link up play and his holding up play is very good too. He is a must buy on fifa or football manager.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Happy Easter everyone! Hopefully the Easter bunny came!

 

[James Colorado]

Happy Easter everyone!!

I gave up chocolate for Lent, so as soon as it hid midnight last night, I absolutely smashed it; I'm still feeling kind of full from it, tbh. The sugar rush helped me in getting up this early to go see family

 

[Strigoi]

Will you be sure to substitute Strigoi somehow?

Seriously?

No torturing from afar.
Happy Easter!

Top 10 Czech Republic footballers:

2. Patrik Schick

It was tough choosing between the top 3, however with number 2 we have another centre forward who is alot more experienced and has alot more European experience. At 28 years of age, Patrick Schick is just about to enter his peak as a footballer and the sheer weight of numbers he has edges it over Adam for mine. Club football wise he also currently plies his trade for Bayer Leverkusen, prior to joining Leverkusen he also played for RB Leipzig but he has also had experience playing in the Italian Serie A also. A good goalscoring record wherever he's played, this season for Leverkusen he has made 14 league appearances while chipping in with 5 goals and a further 2 assists. For the Czech Republic he earned his debut cap in 2016 while making 37 appearances and chipping in with 18 goals.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Top 10 Czech Republic footballers:

1. Tomas Soucek

Coming in at number 1 is Tomas Soucek. The current captain for his native Czech Republic, and another experienced central defensive midfielder who can also play further up the field as a link up player too. Standing at 1.91m tall he is very good aerially and is very good at winning the ball back and is a very good distributor. He first started his career in his native Czech Republic with Slavia Prague before signing initially on loan with West Ham United in the EPL in 2020 and doing enough to earn a permanent transfer to West Ham. This season for WHU he has made 29 league appearances with 6 goals to his name, along with 1 assist. For the Czech Republic he made his debut way back in 2016 while making 68 appearances along with contributing with a further 12 goals.

Fifa wise he is an absolute beast in the air, chuck him in the penalty box during corners and he'll score 9 times out of 10.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
