On the weekend I think that perhaps I became the only person in Australia to have watched Harper’s Island through to its conclusion. I have to say, Harper’s Island became a guilty pleasure for me, and once it drew me in, I was hooked. In Australia, the series started out in the 9.30pm slot on [...]

For some reason this afternoon I started singing “Cities of Gold”, my own interpretation of the “Mysterious Cities of Gold” theme song. Raise your hand if you watched Cities of Gold as a kid… Cities of Gold was one of my favorite cartoons from the 80’s. It was set in the 1500’s and followed the [...]

I can’t pick up a paper, turn on the TV or listen to the radio without having to hear about the Australian finale of Master Chef, and quite frankly I’m sick of it. As an Aussie I have far bigger issues to deal with, like the daylight robbery currently being committed against our cricket team [...]

Here is a must see clip for any aspiring tight ass out there, featuring Hamish and Andy as seen on Rove Live. It’s an educational little piece on the art of “Freeating”. Freeeating is the ancient art of stealing left over food from kids, scrounging tasty morsels from rubbish dumpsters and stealing food samples.
So, if [...]

Raise your hand if you remember the 1980’s cartoon Silverhawks… Even though it wasn’t the longest running series in history, it still occupies a special place in my heart. As a young fella, I wanted to be able to sprout metal wings and fly. Amateur psychologists can make of that what they will.
For those unfamiliar [...]

Perhaps you’ve spent the past week tossing cookies. Perhaps you’ve been on long service leave.
Perhaps your recovering from extreme rhinoplasty. Perhaps your trying to figure out exactly what is going on in LOST. Perhaps you’ve been living under a rock.
Perhaps, just perhaps, you haven’t heard.

For many years now it has been assumed that Karl Stefanovic, co-host of Channel Nines early morning Today program, is a robot.
In fact, many people believe that Stefanovic is actually C3P0, a human-cyborg relations droid constructed in Queensland, and the first Australian droid of its kind. This was confirmed on Wikipedia (so it must [...]

If you had to describe the TV show Flight of the Conchords in one word, what would it be? I’m going to have to go with “quirky”. Even though I hate that word, it’s the first one that pops into my tiny under developed brain.
If you’ve never heard of the show before, allow wikipedia to [...]

The early to mid 90’s was a golden period for basketball in Australia. National Basketball League (NBL) games were shown on free to air TV in prime time, the crowds were big, and kids were hitting the basketball court rather than the football oval. Andrew Gaze and Lanard Copeland were at their peak, and most [...]

Having just finished watching season three of Dexter, I am comfortable in saying that it is currently my favorite TV show. It’s got something for everyone – drama, intrigue, dark humor, and some coarse language.
Warning: What follows may contain spoilers.
Season three opens with out anti-hero Dexter in a good place. His life is in [...]

Having watched the Season 4 finale of LOST I have a lot of questions. The finale spanned three episodes, “There’s No Place Like Home” parts 1, 2 and 3.
A word of advice, don’t read on if you haven’t seen all of Season 4, and don’t want to get ’spoiled’.
I’m not going to try [...]
