Ken ... although Channel 9 were co-producers of the show it took them ages to finally screen the series. What then followed was a fiasco of randomly moving the show to different days and/or timeslots, or taking it off the air without warning, then returning it at a later date, also without warning. They also heavily censored some episodes b/c at one point they were screening them at 5PM on a Saturday afternoon. As far as I'm aware, they never even broadcast every episode of the seasons they did bother to broadcast.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Although it's still September 25 by the board time, it is September 26 in Australia.
Today is my 3 month anniversary as an ex-smoker, so yay me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, jimi! Whatever you're doing, it sounds like it's working.

Nobody
Monk debuts on 10, 7:30PM this Saturday.
Why do I never know these things? Jeeze, it's like I live under a rock or...nevermind. (And yay! on kicking the habit, evil jimi. Go you!)

Monk is excellent, you're in for a treat.
Go jimi with the not smoking! I wish I could say the same.

Go jimi!
Wow, that sucks about the scheduling. Sounds like you've got Fox running stations there too.

Congratulations, jimi. I quit myself earlier this year. It was the single most difficult thing I've ever done, and I'm so glad I did it finally.

To every idea a shelf...
Monk is excellent, you're in for a treat.
Yay! I heart quirky detectives. I don't like the Saturday night scheduling very much, but I'm going to really make the effort to remember to tape.
I'm looking forward to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy as well, the snark in the ads makes me giggle. "Oh look! He put the lounge room where the crack den used to be!" Mondays will be a double whammy of cheesy TV for me to indulge in to get the flavour of supervisor meetings out of my mouth: Australian Idol and Queer Eye all in one night!

Thrive to spite them
Queer Eye is great! Carson is really funny and I'm not sure which culture guy is in that one. At first there was Blair, he wasn't funny and didn't do much. Then they got Jai. Jai is fun.
