How is neighbours still on the T.v?

rander00

Is it me, or is this program just desperate. Even more desperate then ever lately,, not that i watch it too much. The only reason i do watch it the odd time is to check out the few babes in it.

Come to think of it, howcome most of the Australian programs on t.v,, are ****e. For example, Country practice(not sure if its still on), McCleouds daughters, is also ****e, but at least there fine daughters.

The only decent Ozzie series program i remember ever watching consistently, was WaterRats. Which was quite class.

Oh yeah, and i better mention skippy. There mentioned him.

Sounds like somebody's never seen Blue Heelers...

Farscape is an aussie series, and that's extremely good!

Though I've no sympathy for anyone who watches soaps, so you deserve to be annoyed and irritated.

Alot of the Farscape actors started out in Water Rats actually... I know Chiana did anyway...

And Scorpius was in the another Australian series about the fire fighters, I think sky showed it a good while back. The name escapes at the moment. I just remember being amused by the word in 'pyromaniac' in an australian accent.

I was just wondering, have you ever been round, round the twist, when strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?

I should stop, get some food and bed, spamming far too much tonight.
Ahh no, i just realised i had my music plugged into the computer all night, would have stopped me listening to the crap i have been.

Neighbours isn't exactly the greatest soap ever, but there's far worse. Any of the current British productions for example: Depressing drivel.

On other Australian shows, The Flying Doctors wasn't bad, and who remembers The Sullivans ?

Aye, I never really watched Water Rats, but it does seem that the show has produced some degree of talent, I know that John Noble who played Denethor in Return Of The King was in that at one stage.

According to imdb.com, just about every actor from Farscape had a guest spot on Water Rats, and reading through a lot of it, they all seem pretty interchangeable with other shows like Xena and all.

Give me Izzy over any women.

Fuhrio

Neighbours is still there, because its a good show and people like it....simple.

If someone enjoys something, whats the harm in it?
Ive been watching it since i was really young and ive kept watching it until now, so it must be fairly decent, its the only soap ive ever watched in my life.

pork99

Millions of people are happy to watch excrement like "Big Brother" so it's really no surprise that garbage like "Neighbours" is still on.

The Real B-man

god yeah its a load of crap in my opinion home & away is much better

Tammy Macintosh who played "Jool" in the 3rd season currently plays a major part in "All Saints".

As for Neighbours, gah that song that horrible song!

God I have happy memories of watching Neighbours with the lads in the flea-pit in lived in while at uni. It was almost prescribed lunchtime viewing for students if you were up early enough to watch it! We only set off for lectures having after watching it. What harm does it do?
