Are ‘Media7′, ‘Court Report’ And ‘The Good Word’ Enough Reason To Keep TVNZ7?

tumeke.blogspot.com

NO. In asking people about their viewing of TVNZ7, these 3 shows are the only ones mentioned as they are the only ones worth watching on the channel. I do not include ‘Backbenchers’ as I find the shouting from the floor makes the show impossible to watch, and the whole exercise is just like watching Parliament TV.
So, is TVNZ7 worth saving for these 3 shows? No. Well, that was simple. I also love the fact that some of the people who know make shows for TVNZ7 were employed by TVNZ when all the rot started setting in, and happily hastened the dumbing down of NZTV. How soon they forgot. And here is the scene from ‘Network’ that people forget that is behind the real collapse of TV.

ALSO, I FUCKING LOVE MAORI TV. THEY DO IT FOR ME WITH THE ENDLESS GOOD DOCOS, BOTH MADE HERE FOR LIMITED RESOURCES. AND THEIR EXCELLENT MOVIE SELECTION. BETTER THAN ANY FREE TO AIR CHANNEL. AND ‘SONGS FROM THE INSIDE’ WILL CHANGE TV.

Hui Kahu From ‘The Patea Maori Club’ Has Died – WATCH A GREAT ‘GOOD MORNING’ INTERVIEW WITH HER.

news.tangatawhenua.com

Hui made me cry on set of ‘Good Morning’. I had some very intense interviews about awful events, but the only time I cried on set was when Hui would not let me leave the group when they did a Karakia and Waiata for us. I cannot put into words what an amazing and spiritual experience it was to be included with them. ha, tears are rolling now. Sad news. It should be raining.

The most memorable voice of New Zealand hit song Poi-E has lost her battle with cancer.

“Nanny” Hui Kahu, 73, died this morning at her home in Hawera.

Known best for her work as the vocalist and poi soloist for the Patea Maori Club, those close to her say her death has left a cloud over Taranaki.

Discovery Channel Fires Bear Grylls.

http://www.documentingreality.com/

Wow. Man vs. Wild star Bear Grylls has been canned by Discovery, according to the network.

“Due to a continuing contractual dispute with Bear Grylls, Discovery has terminated all current productions with him,”

……..a network spokeswoman said via email.
Rumors abound, of course. The Hollywood Reporter says that Discovery couldn’t get Grylls to participate in two unannounced projects that were part of his contract. As the show rates well for them, (1.1 million viewers), there must be something else going on.
Grylls is not a Discovery-only phenomenon. The professional survivalist has published 11 books (the most recent, an autobiography called Mud, Sweat and Tears, will land stateside in May).

Jay Ryan Has Left ‘Go Girls’ – Cast In CW TV Show – ‘BEAST”.

imdb.com

So after posting this story on Sunday, I presumed Jay must have left ‘Go Girls’. Soooooo, checked with a friend at TVNZ and YES, Jay has left. Kevin leaves in Episode 6 and Jay has been in L.A. for pilot season as he got a very good gig on the CW. L.A. media sites have been all over the story. Check here, here, and here. Great coverage. They love the sound of the show, which always helps. And jay has been working non stop for the last ten years. Staedy work both here and in Australia. he will do very well in the future as well, but this casting really steps it up a HUGE notch for him. Fine actor, and a Fine man, he will rock it. And, yes, he is smoking hot.

TVNZ Sinks Lower – Attacks Cool Nz TV Blog ‘Throng’ Now.

http://cdn.sheknows.com/

Grow up P.R. fucks at TVNZ. For overa year now TVNZ publicity and P.R. has been torturing TV website ‘Throng’ by not letting them see advance screeners of shows and withholding photo and publicity press kits. What childish behaviour, because they see ‘Throng’ as having a negative vendetta against them. No, like this site ‘Throng’ just reports TVNZ’s many, many, many fuck ups and ball dropping. This is your fault TVNZ, not ‘Throng’ who just cover you. So grow up and give them pictures of the contestants from pooville Masterchef. I hope this is not the last desperate act of cuntiness from mad cow Andi Bothersome before she is finally put out to pasture after massive fuck up after massive fuck up. i hope this is not the act of Andi Bothersome but it has the stench of her madness and hate all over it. Or one of her trained morons.

So this comment appeared on a Throng message board, from ‘someone at TVNZ’, accusing them of malicious behaviour which they have not done……..

Maybe it would have been more professional to deal with this personally one to one rather than displaying your grievances on a site? It’s a pretty petty tactic to display an email chain and can be seen as trying to bully TVNZ into helping. Perhaps if you’d had a modicum more sense about dealing with relationships rather than bitching and moaning about this, you may have been more successful. Instead you now look like a spoilt child having a tantrum and venting pathetically into cyberspace?

—————————————————————————————

Which follows this immature and strange email exchange. Generally, P.R. requests are meet with an affirmative. Well, from decent, human P.R. people……….

Throng:

Hi [publicist],

Is it possible for us to receive the profile images of the top 25 contestants for use on our website?

Thanks,

[throng]

TVNZ:

Hi [throng]
Thanks for your email requesting profile pictures of the Top 25 MasterChef contestants.

At TVNZ we’re very cautious about where our images go, and don’t send them out indiscriminately.

Could you please tell me what you need the pictures for and how they will be used?

Many thanks

[publicist]

Throng:

Hi [publicist],

Thanks for getting back to me. The images would simply be used for MasterChef contestant bio pages that we have created on Throng.co.nz and also further down the line to highlight who has been eliminated after each episode.

Thanks,

[throng]

TVNZ:

Hi [throng]

We’re currently being very selective with the provision of our MasterChef contestant images, so were are not sending any additional ones out at this stage.

Regards

[publicist]

TWEETS!

POLL!
