McRubbish on TV
Published 1 year, 3 months ago in My life.If there’s a worse storyline than the last McLeods Daughters then I don’t want to see it. Some weird angel turns up, pashes Kate and disappears without solving anything. After waiting years for the match-up of the century, Stevies husband Alex is a no-show and her dippy daughter Rose tries to ‘kill’ herself by free-wheeling a car 20 metres down a slope into a tree. Meanwhile Grace can’t see further than her nose and couldn’t organize a booze up in a brewery, much less run a farm.
It‘s almost as bad as Sea Patrol where a handful of pinups present an recruiting advert for the navy. Its all high jinx and high adventure. Where’s the drudgery, the endless cleaning, scrubbing, painting and polishing. A ship like the Hammersly would be almost white with dried on salt spray but no-one ever cleans it. In my experience it was a toss up between the buffer and the swain who was the ugliest and who was the drunkest, the XO was bitter at doing all the work, getting none of the credit and not having a command and the Nav was belittled for his ability to read a chart and nothing else. It’s about as true to life as the Simpsons.
Up Spirits! (standfast the Holy Ghost).

My 13yo daughter loves this show (mainly ‘cos of the horses I think) but I find it very lame & tedious.
Don’t know whatever happened to good Aussie drama. Then again maybe I do. I reckon inane reality TV shows just put a gun to the head of decent drama and pulled the trigger.
Channel 10 is the worst culprit & now they’re flogging another waste of air time Australian Idol, please get me a bucket, the likes of Mark Holding It, Byle, A Dick and I had no talent in the 70’s even less now and so called upcoming stars that nobody can remember 5 minutes after the credits roll, is enough to make me vomit copiously.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the stupid naked rain dance at the end of McLeods which, believe it or not, worked. I, for one, dont believe it.
Oh… now I know why you were watching that rubbish… naked rain dance. Ratings were the only thing were created.
