Channel 9 Footy Show 2011 - New Year - New Ad - Same Crap

[Spanner in the works]

The show has no content any more. Not that it ever really did. But now they are just replaying crap from years gone by - a lot of it.

the replays of past year's contents coincided with the 500 footy show episodes, so it's done for a reason

What about this week? Or the weeks before the 500? 500 comes around only once. Or can't they count?

Hey Keiran Foran

If after living in Australia for 13 years you can say on national TV "Australia just doesn't feel like home" then how bout u f**k off back to NZ!!

Hey Douchebag

the weeks leading up were obviously in anticipation of the 500th episode and to just add to the hype. And what's wrong with showing the old content now? There were some cracking moments in the old episodes..

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this. I made reference to this exact point in one of my previous posts in this thread.

Since the 500th show, I've noticed that the Footy show has suddenly gone full throttle and decided to make it a regular habit of playing lots of highlights (from "The Vault", as they say) from past episodes, normally picked by someone (in previous weeks they had Mark Geyer, Jason Stevens, Robbo, now they had Tahir tonight). For many years, the show very rarely showed highlights from the past.

After Matty Johns left the show, he barely got a mention. Now, all of sudden, over the last couple of months, they're playing all these highlights involving him on the show in segments like No Talent Time, as well as Reg Reagan and Trent. Even Blocker and Hadley also got featured in some of the highlights a couple of weeks ago when they showed the song parodies in the '90s (yet they were omitted in the "Best of the Footy Show" DVD). It's like the show has suddenly become nostaglic. Even Rabs Warren only made a couple of appearances in '95 (with the YMCA parody and the Pal Meaty Bites anti-ad), and in the last year or so, he has been a regular on the panel. I'm pretty sure he has been on the show a lot this year.

I dunno, what's been happening here?

Are they still hyping after 500? Pretty pathetic IMO.

Old content is crap when you have barely any new content. Replays never rate well...

IMO:

• The show is far too long. They can't produce enough new content to fill the slot well.
• They don't have their own identity. Is it a show about rugby league, or is it a variety show? Dedicated shows work best.
• Stale host and stale format.
• The old dinosaur problem with rugby league, but this time on television. Becoming too much about the past, struggles to move with the times, pulls out the old, "dumb" format to compensate.

It's the funniest thing I've seen on that show in yonks. What an old queen Rabs is.

Brohman didn't so much shoot him down as gently pluck his wings, and he almost took his ball and went home. Can't even handle a little chip like that. It's Brohman ffs lol!

Well, as Billy Birmingham would say, when you've got a face like a red inflamed hemorrhoid after skulling down goodness knows how many thousands of beers (especially during that time he got sacked), what else do you expect?

f**king snore. If you don't like it, why do you watch it?

As for your points...

1. Agree, show could be shorter.
2. They do have their own identity, it's a variety show, a bit of fun on a Thursday night - using Rugby League as it's basis. They said this themselves in the 500th show.
3. Stale host is really a subjective call. I don't like Fatty myself but he's there every week, consistently the same for 18 years. One could argue if they go to a new host it could completely crumble and die.
4. There are other options you do realise? Two One HD shows during the week, plus actual league-talk style shows on Sunday (Footy Show and Roast).

I could understand people flapping on about TFS when there were little/no alternatives but you have choice now - stop watching it if you want it to die, that will send the biggest message to Ch 9.

I actually didnt mind last nights episode, thought it was rather funny with a good amount of serious talk as well.

The perfect partners segment and Fui fui segments are just hilarious...

LMFAO ! Brohman made him look so senile:lol: but tbh I think tabs deserved to be shot down, because he was rambling on and on, and going no where with his rambling.

LMAO haha.

I want to see how bad it gets. It's like watching a car crash.

No matter how many times you say it, people will still watch it every thursday and complain.

I personally like it. It's a bit of fun on a thursday night and like you said with the base being footy. It's good to see the non serious side of footy players as well

rofl at Ryan saying re:Inu's try 'it was a dud call'.

The ironing......

That and Fatty telling Mannering they need to work on their discipline because they gave away so many penalties! :sarcasm:

 

[Big Pete]

You'd have to be pretty delicate in replacing Fatty, in a lot of ways he is The Footy Show. I definitely think his time has come and it's painfully obvious he doesn't watch enough footy but they need to find an appropriate replacement. Matty Johns seemed logical, I wonder if 9 will be prepared to make ammends?
