I've heard that The Block has a flotilla of tradies on-site to fix everything the moment the contestants leave.

Foxtel's AFL 360 and On The Couch are miles ahead of any of the free to air TV shows.

I did watch the CH9 footy show for a period but tired of its childish humour, Eddies Collingwood excesses and Sam's twisted/staged opinions.
re: Married at first sight...yep...pile of scripted garbage that the women in my family love :-X
Same page, EB1. FC is easily my first choice also when it comes to serious and intelligent footy discussion. When I'm not after intelligence but a laugh, then it's the FB.
I read recently about the phenomenal ratings of Married at First Sight, and considered moving to another planet. Pile of garbage is pretty spot on. I tried watching a few minutes and could actually feel my IQ points plummeting. Mrs Baggers though, another story... we reached a compromise, she can record it and watch it when I'm out of the house... preferably in another suburb or state!!! (just so the gals know, don't worry there are programs I watch which Mrs Baggers hates so the same deal applies... very democratic in our place).

I now only watch Netflix, Kayo, and SBS OnDemand - no fta tv at all. All news I get from the internet/online. Don't watch footy talk shows but FC sounds like it could be OK. Really enjoyed last night's game.

The kids at my local primary school are so into MAFS it's insane. Worrying, and insane. If they are modelling gender roles, relationships, social interactions and behaviour from this manipulated, constructed shyte, lord help us all. We're pucked.
Re: TFS Rebooted - dodge - 03-28-2019
I might be a bit old fashioned, but why are primary school kids watching MAFS? It is rated M. Not for 12 year olds...

I agree. We don't exactly live in classy times unfortunately.
Re: TFS Rebooted - Professer E - 03-29-2019
Same kids are on Facebook, instagram, snapchat and tinder-like platforms for kids. How can you help your own kids navigate the world when other kids are running unfettered, simply through parental neglect?
The education system is designed to do exactly that, not remedial work to make up for shyte parenting, which seems to be the norm these days.
I don't agree with most of what Sam says but one quote "99 percent of people are tree swingers" is all too true. Class, as Paul points out, is in short supply..... only a matter of time before somebody commodifies that as well.

Agree, Prof. A friend of mine is a school teacher and allows Facebook access for their 9 year old - a lot harder to control than when we were growing up and all our parents had to do was limit TV time and say no to buying yo-yos, and figurines and comics.

Kids who are troublemakers will always find it, even in my day. I was hardly troublesome, but I would go out for the entire day with mates and my parents would have no idea where I was and had no way of contacting me. All sorts of awful things could happen in such circumstances.
In some ways the mobile phone, social media era is safer, but certainly as you imply, you need to be a certain age to understand the technology and understand how to stay out of trouble.
