Silverchair are going to be on the first show.

a very good reason not to watch

Quoted from Sillygostly

Ugh, the ads are getting worse and worse.

Heh, just as well I rarely watch TEN.  I agree about Silverchair.   Rove's gonna need a lot more than that to "save Sunday."

Quoted from chris

but I thought that you were a TEN fan so anything goes, as long as its on TEN

I'm a Ten fanboy, sure, but I won't watch every bit of crap they put on air.

Quoted from Sillygostly

There was a second promo last night which was slightly different from the first. This one shows half of Rove's face as it's covered up by a mic. And he says "It's good to be back."

Ugh. That promo reminded me just how much I despise Rove and his quote unquote "brand" of comedy.

Not liking the promos.  I mean, what has Rove got to do with new teeth or new underwear......maybe I'm missing the point.  Totally don't want to offend anyone, but are they gonna warn all the guests not to talk about Belinda Emmet?  How repetetive to have a show with people telling Rove how sorry they are all time, and will be painful for him every time.  Also, when he does his famous 'opening speech', is he gonna say anything about it or just pretend he never left?   I'll be watching just to find out, but I can't complain about silverchair.  Love 'Straight Lines'!

Well, the teeth thing is that Rove has got really great, sparkly teeth.
And the undies thing...well, it's just kind of funny.  

They give guests a rundown on what they can and cannot say anyway (in terms of swearing etc) so I guess they could tell them not to bring Belinda up.

I'm guessing that's why alot of people will tune in- to see if he'll mention her at all.

I love 'What The?' and when he gets the people to flick their lights.  I also love when he interviews the Idols and the Big Bro people coz it's totally clear he hates them all but can't say much coz their show is on the same network.

He will have to bring Belinda up in some way, he will probably mention a charity to donate to or something like that to. He can't just pretend it didnt happen.

I don't understand why the show is rated M. They say it'll include "adult themes" and "coarse language". However I have NEVER heard anybody drop an F bomb on the show, nor have I seen/heard any themes that would have been inappropriate for younger viewers.

The only shows I've watched last year were the ones with Nancy Cartwright, Delta Goodrem and Mischa Barton.

And I absolutely LOATHE the latest promos!

Yeah, me too.  

They're not that bad.

The "M" rating might be because it's live and they're not sure about what's going to be said. Or in the case of pre-taped sketches eg "Sex Office".

F bomb hasn't been dropped yet to my knowledge.

well it is unpredictable, and not only that one time, they did a male only nude run across a football field, thats sure is adult themes,

Comedians and interviewees sometimes  joke about drug taking or heavy drinking

Perhaps making light of these serious issues is considered to be an "Adult Theme" ??

( Looking forward to the return of Rove !! )

Quoted from Jesus

That's nudity.

And as long as it was blurred (or that you couldn't see the nudie bits), it wouldn't be rated any more than a G or PG.

A number of Mr. Bean episodes included "butt" nudity, but because they were in a non-sexual context, they were all G rated.

The "adult/moderate/mature themes" descriptor basically means that the TV show/movie will contain topics not suitable for more impressionable viewers. Examples of such themes include war, the supernatural, cult, binge drinking, suicide, puberty, paedophilia (or any form of underage sex), rape, racism etc.

Quoted from Dalton

The heavy drinking, maybe. Depends on the context and if they glorify binge drinking without discussing the consequences.

Quoted from Sillygostly

The heavy drinking, maybe. Depends on the context and if they glorify binge drinking without discussing the consequences.

But consequences aren't discussed ( and neither should they be in the context of an "Adult" joke  )

Take someone telling a story about how "I was SO trashed from the night before but I went to work at the factory using dangerous equipment but got congratulated for working faster than ever before "

It might well be a funny tale BUT could give "younger minds" ( who are being "protected" by the "Adult Themes" warning ) the impression that going to work or school half drunk or stoned is OK

The warnings are based on the lowest common denominator who MIGHT watch

And in these days of blame someone else for my own bad choice , I guess it covers the TV station if someone says "I let Tiffany-Snowflake watch the show because I thought Rove was a nice wholesome Perth-boy . My poor darling heard someone joking about sex / drugs / drinking and is now traumatized "  

It's like signs at the beach saying "Beware .. Drowning is possible in water"
( OK , I'm exagerating , but you get what I mean  -- people don't take responsibility for their own actions anymore !    )

BTW, the male nudy run wasn't blurred out and it was from the front as well.
