Guess who's not sleeping?

Me. And I just turned on the TV. I don't know if this is an Australian phenomenon, but they have these late night quiz shows where you can ring in and win cash. Yhe presenters are often washed-up Big Brother stars and they are just awful to watch.

Anyway, tonight on this one show, the same quiz has been going since about midnight (no I have't been watching it since then) and it is to name famous John's. Which makes me giggle anyway. I want them to start naming porn stars and I keep wanting someone to name John Winchester and John Sheppard, but anyway...

The reason I'm really giggling is that no one is calling. They have even promised $50 to anyone that calls, and the ditzy presenter lady is just standing there going "come on people, ring up and name some famous John's" and then falling quiet. *close up of woman's face* :P 'tis funny, but it's possibly because it's after 1am and I want to sleep and just can't seem to.

God these shows are lame. What ever happened to all the late-night sci fi? I miss the old startrek re-runs.

They have one of those shows around here. I've never seen it, but I watched a clip on a clip show. It was BAD. The clip show was making fun of them for having no one call in.

Did you call for the $50?

God no. It was probably a ploy or something, but it amused me greatly at that time of the morning.

I'm sure. :-)

We have that crap on TV, too. Hate it. A few years ago they repeated TV shows at night, like Star Trek or other series, that was great! Now they just show these idotic half-naked women who clown around on screen while calls get blocked, so that they can pretend that no-one wants the money they offer...

Hehe. Maybe that was their ploy last night, but it amsed me, because the stupid lady just stood there. :P
I really can't stand those shows.
