TFS Rebooted

Haven't watched too much of TFS over the past two weeks. However, last year, there was one significant difference (among many.) The Footy Show loves to feature the bogans in the audience as much as they can. The Front Bar has a very limited audience and they are never featured (expect for the 'back of the heads' shot going into a break. Frenzied vs (reasonably) sophisticated.

Ive always liked both shows to be honest, I tape both however I always find myself watching TFS and watching the taped Front Bar sometimes. Dunno if its habit, blind loyalty, not sure but its always been a Thurs night ritual to have it on, sometimes in the background. The Front Bar has SFA footy content, mostly 2 fools hamming it up and one straight guy (who tends to cop it alot off the other two).
I dont mind the new format of TFS, Lemo is ok, Nez (apart from the loud laugh) is an upgrade on Bec, Fev is Fev and Alcott is a funny guy. I notice that when guest come on, they dont have their football apparel on, street clothes only. Cox last week, Dimma and Angus Brayshaw this week. It could not be any worse than that f-cked up Married at First Site garbage. Talk about trash!!

Prefer Footy classified to all the other shows, I'm not looking for a variety show and TV personalities, I prefer a Footy show that gives me some info and update on footy issues.
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

Never watch Talking Footy as I hate all the presenters to a man.

My Daughter knows one of the contestants socially and been out a few times with her and half the participants have acting/modelling backgrounds, Cleo bachelor of the year contestants etc...its scripted and heavily produced.Its about as real as the people they get on " the block"...half who couldnt bang a nail in straight yet renovate a whole home..

I flicked between the 2 last night. Happened to be on TFS when they went to the crowd and had some people from MAFS....as soon as i heard that i turned over to TFB and stayed there for a while as punishment for their BS cross promotional crap.

I haven’t watched TFS for a while but I enjoy TFB on the odd occasion that I watch it. TFB seems to have found its niche and is happy to stay there. TFS lost its way years ago and is torn between appealing to fans of Sam Newman and trying to forge a new identity.
The ratings suggest that TFB will continue as is and TFS will be jettisoned within weeks.
