Small Screen
9:48AM Jess McGuire | Here’s some interesting news if your favourite thing in the world is Australian network television executives playing with the timeslots of shows you love deeply before throwing them out the window entirely and digging up some cheap hateful C-grade American sitcom schlock involving a fat man and a wife who is so far out of his league it’s not even funny – there are a couple of Oz tv shows in mortal danger!

And I for one love it.
The gardening gloves are off, with Jamie Durie’s former Nine co-star Scott Cam shaming the Seven personality for “offensive” comments he made which pitted Durie’s new program against the makeover of Sydney survivor Lauren Huxley.
Uh-oh. Did golden boy Jamie actually say something offensive? Say it ain’t so! More »
