Been a couple of months

**Stylo** · 16th February 2015, 18:27

Seven Sharp hasn't improved, been a couple of months since we watched it and, tried again tonight. Probably the shallowest current affairs program ever screened on national television. Hoskings is still a clown ( and still a wanker by the looks of it ) and makes Paul Henry look like an educated professional.

We lasted 19 minutes before we hit the power off button.

All advertising muted, of course, what a shocker. Am I missing something ?

Hey - they had boobs on it tonight. Admittedly feeding ones but if you squint just right the blue veins disappear.......

I miss Paul Henrys late night show.

Fark, dunno if I'd go that far. However, I did love that Henry seemed to get away with calling people bastards and wankers. Told it exactly like it was... very entertaining.

Sharp... well, dripping with irony, and every time I've watched something I got irritated, so yes, it's shite.

Doubt it, I couldn't live without top gear and country calendar.

And low gear and talking trucks and classic restos and I do like the chase when I have time to watch it, and never mind the buzzcocks and would I lie to you. Fuck me Im an addict.

'Americanised' t.v. Seen it here and there at friends houses, looks like entertainment for mouth breathers. Bring back Eating Media Lunch I reckon. Had more substance as a bloody satire.

Spot on! Waste of time that could be better wasted elsewhere.

You can stream or download it all and skip out the shitty ads or temptation to get sucked into other BS. Psychologists play a part in a lot of that shit for a reason, and that's fact not tin foil hat territory

Yes. Intelligence.

7blunt is for the clinically depressed or stupid. Politicians probably watch it.

Seven Sharp started out as the most appalling piece of trash on NZ television. Since then it has deteriorated remarkably.

Occasionally there's a couple of minutes before I find the remote and hit the off button. In that time I will invariably be treated to the fatuous presenters giggling at each other like a couple of teenage girls.

I would love to join them in the studio, if only to vomit on them.

Well - we are certainly on the same page on that one! (and completely without time constraints IYKWIM!)
