Mike Tomalaris is an idiot
not all there Wrote: Yes, I had a look at 'Sooty Park' last night (2nd time ever) - I think it's up there for the prize for the most self-interested and venal of all current TV programs AND IT"S OUR ONLY REGULAR CYCLING SHOW! What a travesty! Credit where credit's due I suppose - good on you Dave for having a go - getting any TV programme together is major pain in the bum. But very bad on you for your incessant product placement and pretty average production values (yes, I know it's Channel 31 and not 9). Dean Martin singing 'That's Amore' as a backing track for some ****y little Cat 4 climb featuring fatty and someone so undergeared they're just about to fall off? Amore of what? Sore arses? Do we really want to see more of your mates and clients riding up mountains in Europe wearing 'Top Ride' jerseys and stumbling their way through the time filler roller derbies? Shnorr . . . bring back Cycling Central AND Mike Tomolaris, I say. Isn't there some rule (I know RRR and PBS have one; 'Ride On', Mr Dutch? Now there's a blurry line . . . ) about how much you can spruik your commercial interests whilst presenting content through community media outlets? SBS has a charter and is NFP, what is Channel 31's position on this? N.A.T. I'm inclined to agree. The recent episodes of Sooty Park that I've seen have had more than the usual level of self-indulgent home video feel to them and have been pretty yawn-inducing. And just because it's community television doesn't mean it necessarily has to have slack production values: the football show that comes on after Sooty Park looks much more professional. If you ask yourself which show is likely to capture the attention of the casual viewer with only a passing interest in cycling, Sooty Park or Cycling Central? For all that Mike Tomalaris is an idiot, it's definitely Cycling Central. (For what it's worth and well aware that I'm just standing on the sidelines and pointing.) -- treadly&me |
