Tallafornia

NothingMan

So it's actually true. TV3 are doing a Jersey Shore style show very "originally" titled Tallafornia.

http://www.broadsheet.ie/2011/08/18/the-cast-of-tv3s-tallafornia/

As an Irish person born and bred "Tallafornian" I am embarrassed and actually surprised (I know I shouldn't be) that we would stoop as low as all the shows we like to mock. Thought we had a touch more class, if only a touch.

What do ya reckon folks? Entertainment or car crash TV? Or should we all just call it a day and nuke the planet now?

...knows how to party?

Well, we had our The Hills with Fade Street and now we're getting our Jersey Shore.

People are going to watch it. The footage from inside Level 4 and Cocos is going to be classic.

It's the combat equivalent of double-bagging.

And of course, the women used aren't really that good looking. The only passable one is the block haired one to the right of the picture. Even then, she'll probably sound like a crow! :pac:

Any show that involves "pulling" or "sex" or anything with sexual innuendo will get lots of views. Gang of perverts we are.

On Friendface a few friends have recognised or know at least 3 of the people so they are "Tallafornians" *shudder*, just the "trendy" orange ones, not the bottling car thief kind.

I would like to say, as a tallaght head, they are not entirely representative of us all. There are a few of us that are well adjusted members of society.

Sonics2k

After due consideration, I believe this sums up my feelings on the matter fully.

Yeah, because Fade Street was sooooo highbrow.

As someone from Tallaght I shall watch this once then go out the back and shoot myself in embarassment.:(

Also I know some of them and they're actually from Tallaght. :eek:
I just hope that the good folk of Tallaght rise up against this nonsense and turn on the head office of TV3

If somebody in public life proposed that an investigation is needed into how TV3 and 3E (formerly Channel 6) received Irish tv broadcasting licenses I would be fully supportive of it.

1990: When TV3 was initially granted its tv license, the Minister for Communications who granted the licence was named...Ray Burke. You couldn't invent this!

2005: when Channel 6/3E was granted a license, Martin Cullen was the Minister for Transport and Communications.


The paltry number of Irish programmes on both of these channels make a mockery of their "Irish" licenses. In their culture, both of these channels are essentially an extension of the British channel ITV.

So that is x-factor and now tallifornia.

They really are over-catering to the idiots aren't they.

Not at all. TV execs know their audience very well. More people in Ireland will watch this garbage than will ever watch an episode of Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Dexter or any other half decent show with a story.

The majority of the TV audience are utter buffoons.

It's because these shows are so cheap to make. You can pay the "actors" nothing because they are mostly there for the exposure. The sets are a stage with some bunting in the case of xfactor and a house in this case. And editing and production just involves cutting out the boring bits (who knows how they can tell the difference though). They probably become profitable if less than 2% of the population actually watch them.

Yes, damn us for wanting to watch quality, well produced television shows. The more idiots that keep watching this trash, the more of it that will get made.

I genuinely don't see the attraction of this kind of show.

:pac:"Oooooh, real people in semi-scripted 'real' situations".

So what? Who really cares? What's the lasting impact? Will anyone remember it in a years time?

My understanding of Jersey Shore is its meant to be mocked, I think so far this show looks like its succeeding in following in those hallowed footsteps.
