Being Human is back on Australian TV, it made a triumphant return to ABC2 last night. All our old friends were back Annie (Leonora Critchlow), Mitchell (Aidan Turner), George (Russell Tovey) and Nina (Sinead Keenan) and so was the dark humour, in abundance. Mitchell, George and Nina moved into a new home, an old Hotel [...]

ABC2 Thursdays The Graham Norton Show has been shown on ABC2 for some time now. In recent times we have caught up with the UK and episodes are aired only 6 days after they are shown in Britain. It’s a very good chat show, with some differences. The audience are frequently involved in various skits. [...]

Channel 9‘s latest US sitcom began last week. Mike and Molly is the story of an overweight couple who meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting. The show apparently comes from the makers of Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory, according to the promos. After the first episode I see a lot of [...]

William Shatner’s new series $#*! My Dad Says (let’s face it, Shit my Dad Says) aired on Channel 9 on Monday night. Obviously the non-ratings period is over, with new series of Bones, Glee and Two and a Half Men also broadcast on the same night. More about those shows later. I’m a big fan [...]

The Eleventh of January 2011 (11/01/11) saw the launch of Australia‘s latest free to air TV station. Channel Eleven is part of the Channel 10 Network, so high hopes for it’s future are not anticipated. Once again the launch seemed to me to go not with a bang, but with a whimper. There were some [...]

Cancer claims the life of great British actor I was sorry to read about the passing of Pete Postlethwaite. This great British actor was the star of many British and American films, as well as heaps of British TV shows. He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the movie of In [...]

This episode had an interesting start, with Kurt getting bullied and Sue, currently the principal, doing nothing about it. Then her Mother turned up, because she is planning to marry herself? Her mother was played by Carol Burnett. This was probably the longest start of any episode without a song and when it came the [...]

Modern Family is currently Channel 10‘s flagship sitcom, although from the promotion it could face some stiff competition from Raising Hope. But I think that Modern Family has been chosen by the public as a favourite, without the saturation promotion. There’s good reason for that, it’s funny! It has a very good cast and good [...]

Grilled Cheesus / Duets / The Rocky Horror Glee Show I’ve neglected the Gleeks and Gleesters recently, so I thought it was time for a catch up on the episodes shown so far since my last review. After a weak start to the second series, with the first episode just establishing some story lines and [...]

Britney/Brittany Well I’ll have to say in advance that this will probably be the most negative review posted so far on Oz TV Reviews. My aim is to avoid canning shows, because that is the easy thing to do. Sensationalism sells, but that is not what we are about. I avoid many shows as I [...]
