20 to 1

For starters, what has happened to Bert Newton's head. Seriously, if he is doesn't look like an older version of Jake from two and a half men, then my contact lenses need replacing.

Anyway, Tuesday night must be a slow night on the old television because I found myself watching that stupid 20 to 1 show about chart flops. What the show was about and what it was called seemed to be totally different things. "Chart Flops" it said. They would show some former soap opera star or movie star or model or whoever was not known for their singing ability and make fun of the job they had done as a singer. Now one of the artists, and I apologise for forgetting who, actually sold over 6 million records in the UK alone. It might have been Jason Donovan, but I have trained my mind to delete any such reference in case I have a flashback moment to his wedding with Charlene on Neighbours. To my way of thinking, a chart flop would mean the song sucked and it didn't sell too well. Let's face it, some of the songs sucked, but I wish I could be a failure and sell 6 million copies.

What about the Chantoozies. The caption comes up on the screen that they had other hit songs. So how does that make it a chart flop?

The whole problem with this crap show is the title. By making it 20 to 1, they have to find 20 items for their show. They just can't do it. They find 6 or 7 and then fill the other ones with stuff that doesn't fit the criteria.

Channel nine, you are making me very angry. Not only don't your shows ever run on time, but I bet later in the summer I am going to have to suffer listening to Bill Lawry and Tony Greig.

Here is an idea. The 20 to 1 things I most hate about channel nine. Stay tuned.
