Aussie TV

Now I've always been a big TV fan, and I've grown up watching shows from England, Australia AND the US.
And was thinking the other day why it is that Aussie shows don't really last.

Here are some observations,

• Aussie TV doesn't have a big budget
• as a result uses lower quality film, which means it doesn't look as shiny as the American shows.
• The shows are all the same, the shows that don't last long are usually set in either Melbourne or Sydney, and revolve around a bunch of people, sometimes around a workplace.
• Australia is very different, and each state is different.
• We don't seem to have the imagination, or it is not shown

I dunno why Aussie tv make it. I mean sure we have a few good shows, such as Kath and Kim, and maybe McLeods Daughters (I've never watched it, but its been going for a while, so someone must be watching it). But we are best at more comedy/variety shows I think.

Now I'm not really an Aussie TV fan myself -I'm very happy to watch my American shows...

but maybe some day Aussie TV will find a place on tv...just for the sake of it!

Till next time
