Quote: Cronus "Easy to slate it as cringeworthy, amateur and embarrassing - which indeed it was at times. But despite myself I found myself sticking with it and enjoying some parts.
But you know what, RL in the UK is crying out for a programme like this. Thing is, it isn't and can never be The Footy Show, so please don't try to emulate them or their 'comedy' segments which are pretty terrible anyway. Australians are a long way down the list when it comes to entertainment and should never be copied, The Footy Show this year is dire.
Bring in new anchors (maybe keep Mrs Walker but no more jokes please), definitely keep the strong player element, get rid of the terrible Footy Show imitations, please not so many thick Yarksher accents. Get cameras out to different amateur clubs each week for a new segment. Get some of the players trained up in presenting - it's not all about fake enthusiasm, talking loudly, or cool one-liners 'bro'. Just relax, all of you.
Pretty awful tonight, but all the potential in the world. I hope they stick with it but carry out some brutal and honest self-criticism.
And what the f**k is a chewdog? No ta.'"
I think this is a pretty fair evaluation to be honest. I have to say I found it amusing when Wayne Godwin was presenting his segment and proceeded to shout at the cameras like a pensioner down the phone.
