GNW comeback.
Good News Week returns in less than a week! Very exciting stuff indeed. And it’s excellent that both Paul McDermott and Mikey Robbins returning too :D
It’s almost making me nervous though, having been a huge fan in its final years… cos it has huge potential to dismally fail in every way. Admitedly, there haven’t been a whole lot of Australian TV slaughterings by the commercial networks in the last 12 months or so (nowhere near as many as there were a couple of years ago), but there’s still a chance that if it doesn’t do well in its first two weeks, Channel 10 will send it to the dark depths of 10:30 Thursday night or something.
I am hoping for some cool new things… but that they’d still retain some of the goodness from years gone by - just to satisfy the fans who know it got taken to TV heaven prematurely seven years ago.
My wishlist for old things that might return:
- Buzzers of death. Best. game. ever.
- Mark Trevorrow singing.
- Multiple really good music spots in each episode.
- Sandman and Flacco monologues.
- Big musical cover finale pieces where Paul sings.
- Awesome guests. Rhys Muldoon. Amanda Keller. James O’Loghlin. Natasha Stott-Despoja. But no Rove please.
While I loved GNW when it was around 8 years ago, I never made it along to a recording. And so I am incredibly excited that I get to go see it be recorded on the 15th March. I’m quite jealous that Jen & Howie managed to score tickets to the first episode though…
