  Aussie Club is Back!!

   

  Hi-ho everyone!! I know what you're going to say. Where have you been, Aussie Club? Well the club's been busy preparing a POLL!!! Woo-hoo! Click and go to vote on your favourites for 2006.

  And to make up for the long absence, next week we'll have another quiz for you. And don't worry - there'll be another shiny suprise!!

   

  Nicholas Boot, a reporter from Today Tonight and his crew are in hot water after they supplied the chains a 84 year old grandmother to make it appear she had gone to desperate measure to stay in her nursing home. Apparently, the authorities arrived to investigate if the woman's rights had been violated, only to find the whole thing was a stunt.

  Love my way returns this week on Showtime. The series is still going strong as it heads into it's third season. Justine Clarke (The Surgeon) will soon be joining the cast.

  The AFL broadcast is back on Seven with the start of the NAB Cup Pre Season Cup. Seven is starting off the year with nearly all the shows worth watching this year, such as Heroes, Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy.

  That Ad with the kid in nappies crawling out of the crib to steal Mum and Dad's car and take it to the beach has been banned in Australia in the fear that it will encourage toddlers to do the same. Curiously, it's New Zealand's most popular advertisement.

  Bridie Carter of McCloud's Daughters has landed a role as host of National Geographic.

  John Waters returns to All Saints this week(27/2/2007)

  The New Series Sea Patrol has finally dragged Lisa McCune away from the reality / documentary series drudgeons.

  The US network NBC has started work on tv Australian rip-off series. Thank God You're Here and Kath and Kim are to be remade for American audiences. If the shows are so good to being with, why change them?

  

  February 11-17, 2007

  1. National Nine News Sunday
  2. One Day Cricket - Australia v England - 2nd Final Session 2
  3. Desperate Housewives
  4. RPA
  5. One Day Cricket - Australia v England - 2nd Final Session 1
  6. Seven News - Sun
  7. Today Tonight
  8. Border Security - Australia's Front Line (R)
  9. Seven News
  10. 1 vs 100
  11. Heroes
  12. Missing Persons Unit
  13. Lost
  14. SCU: Serious Crash Unit
  15. The Biggest Loser (Aus) - The Weigh In

  I think it's good to see the Cricket still winning the ratings. Good for sport and national pride and all that. I don't watch it on TV, I'd prefer to see it live. There also seems to be a worrying amount of news, game shows and reality on the list. And why is it that the news is the No. 1 rated show - did something big happen last week?

  

  Any birthdays, weddings, births - please send them in so we can post to let everyone know

  All New Quiz - You could win a Shiny Suprise!!

   

  Hi-ho everyone!! This week we have put a tricky little quiz togethe to test your knowledge of Aussie TV. All scores are kept track of and the winner (make sure when you register you use the same username as Tv.com so we can track you down) will receive a special shiny suprise to put on your blog or signature or wherever!! So come one and all try out the quiz and battle wits with other club members!! Good luck!

  Quiz Name that Show, No. 1 - Click here to do the quiz

  P.S. The Shiny Suprise will be presented to the clever winner on Monday the 18th - one week from today's post!! 

  

  THE pilot of Southern Star drama Secretary which was snubbed by the Ten network earlier this year has been illegally uploaded onto a US website - dailymotion.com atleast until it was removed by Ten shortly after it was discovered. The series, starring Pia Miranda, Vince Colosimo, Kimberley Davies, Peter O'Brien and Susie Porter - was supposedly uloaded by a cast member annoyed at Ten's decision.

  However, there's a big year ahead for Ten. The network has invested in a number of new programmes recently including Jamie's Kitchen Australia and Tripping Over. New programmes for 2007 include The Con.Test and Celebrity Dog School. Ten will also kick off the strategy by relaunching its main website, www.ten.com.au, with a focus on video streaming, downloads and communities. The site will be supported by more than 50 programme sites and relevant online communities with appropriate versions and extensions of programmes for portable and mobile devices, as well as for broadband users.
