(waving hand a back of crowd, close to the bar).<BR/><BR/>Just put up a post with an article relating to TV show development in Oz......the Canadians think it's bad. One of the major networks here slashed their development (for drama) budget from about $1m to $100K......I am thinking of taking in those notepads with some stick drawings and flicking them really, really quick, and tell them that is my fully shot pilot......how do you reckon I'll go? :)<BR/><BR/>Shows? <BR/><BR/>Get your hands on Frontline, that is a great show. <BR/><BR/>Drama's, well I'll tell you what has/is popular so if you get your hands on it you can see what they are watching.<BR/><BR/>Blue Heelers (cop show in country, think NYPD blue, chewing hayseed). Early stuff was interesting, but lost it a long time ago for me.<BR/><BR/>McLeod's Daughters...some of it is alright, the views are great. They do have a lot of the male sense of humour and traits down pat for this show.<BR/><BR/>Police Rescue and Water Rats were popular, but never did much for me.<BR/><BR/>We seem to be good at mini-series and sketch shows. Drama tends to be hit and miss, and I think they try and achieve some sort of mix between US gritty drama's and Ozzie culture. Blue Heeler's didn't it just tried to be Australian. The ones that don't last seem to try that combo.<BR/><BR/>We don't seem to do well at sitcoms either. This gives a fairly decent shot at explaining why, even though he can't spell Jerry Seinfeld. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~imcfadyen/situations.htm<BR/><BR/>Any other Aussie's reading such as Konrad, Xander, and Dog feel free to jump in and call bullshit on me.<BR/>cheers<BR/>Dave.Grubberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435524784373114313noreply@blogger.com
