Eviltaco64: Was that some golden path through space?
That was on tv in the mornings back when I was in school (graduated in 2000).
I saw an ep, missed it for freaking ages, then saw another.
One guy was still running along that path, and another 2 were still hovering (over lava I think) talking about how they were going to fight.
Made me laugh.
Oh, I should add Sealab 2021 also. That show was fantastic until Harry Goz (voice of murphy) died. Red dawn was a particularly great episode.
So stupid yet funny and clever at the same time.
newstopia sucks
If your going to show a good aussie show may i suggest, comedy inc, skithouse, the ronnie jons half hour, underbelly, thank god your here, good news week, the chasers war on everything etc etc far better than newstopia.

Just because you dont like/understand it's humour does not mean it sucks. If flaming was was not disapproved of I would love to be more direct.
So much of the humour is in the subtext. You need to have some understanding of the current major national/international political/social issues to get many of the jokes. The punchline is implied, not directly stated.
The seasons titled the 'late shift' were great. Almost black comedy, which I think can be attributed to the involvement of David McDonald (the son of Gary 'Norman Gunston' Mcdonald). The SBS series 'Life Support', which he also worked on, was truly brilliant.
I could never stand either of these, they seemed to be such juvenile humour with no deeper level whatsoever.
The most popular skit from the ronnie johns half hour was that chopper reid impersonation.
Chopper the film was so much better.
The best drama series I have seen in a long while.
I guess if you like theatre sport
I think it was a lot better about 10 years ago when it was new, on ABC, I was young and didnt mind how obviously scripted it is and Mikey Robbins was fat.
The chaser guys are great, but their coverage of the 2 federal elections (the election chaser and the chaser decides) prior to Rudd being elected and CNNNN were far more witty than the 'war' IMO.
The guys from the chaser obviously have respect for Shaun Micallef, 2 of them were on the show last week being taken apart (roasted) by Shaun's 'mightier than thou' interviewer character.
It was the first time I had seen the chaser guys really 'comedic acting' rather than just pulling pranks since 'the chaser decides'.
Obviously personal opinion, but I dont think I could disagree stronger (as evidenced by the above).![]()
