Whatever happened to investigative journalism?  14 Mar 2007

Old VW TV commercial
Looking for VW theme song  27 Nov 2006

Car ads cluttering Tuesday nights
Tuesday is my TV night, and all my friends know not to call, interrupt, phone for a moan or even pop in. (Yes, I know I'm getting old.) With the likes of 'Smallville', 'Prison Break' and '24' on, supper is made early and then the couch marathon starts. 'Smallville' is sponsored by Citroen, 'Prison Break' by Peugeot, '24' by Kia...  24 May 2006

Does my employer own every idea I conceptualize?
I'm employed to produce a certain TV show, but when I come up with a concept for a new show (totally different from the one I work on) why should my employer own MY concept?  2 Mar 2006

Barbaric Fear Factor
I'm disgusted and disappointed in Fear Factor and e.tv for actually broadcasting such a barbaric program. The poor people desperate for R250 000 are blinded by money and the contracts they signed are for cheap entertainment.  24 Jan 2006

SABC TV commissioning
One production house is responsible for two sitcoms and some drama on SABC TV. Is it because there are not enough production houses to do the work or is this one particularly above the rest?  9 Oct 2005

TV channels losing viewers through advertising
The one thing that gets me changing channels is an untimely ad break.  17 May 2005

Money begets money
I am by no means a newcomer to the television industry, having spent a good six years of my life working for a successful production house, but like most people I realised that the time to 'go it alone' had come and I'm giving it my best shot. The thing that confounds me the most tho', is the submission process.  2 May 2005

Oprah! Oprah! Oprah!
Oprah is coming back - that is the best news I have heard in over six months about any TV programme.  9 Mar 2005

Local Shows
Thank you to e-TV for free TV, but guys you got a lot to learn. "Scandal" during prime time!?  20 Feb 2005

Cartoons these days are not child-friendly
The content of today's cartoons has lost the meaning I thought cartoons are supposed to potray - too computerised...  17 Feb 2005

Aren't the new MWeb ads so funny...?
I must say, I had such a good laugh the other night with the new MWeb ad with the traffic cop.  16 Feb 2005

The gremlins are on the loose in our TV newsrooms
Do you think our news broadcasts are professional?  7 Feb 2005

Is MNET Almighty?
On Sunday night when I heard that M-Net was not to screen "Bruce Almighty" as advertised I thought the reason would be a religious one, after all when the film was released there was a relatively large outcry. However I was astonished to hear that it was in sensitivity to the Tsunami.  7 Feb 2005

What's going on with M-Net's sound?
Is it just me or is everyone experiencing poor sound quality from M-Net?  31 Jan 2005

Mini Convertable ad - I don't get it
Am I missing a twist or pun in the new Mini Convertable ad, or is it part of a series?  30 Jan 2005

Backstage should stay Backstage
If it's the best youth soapie...why should I see Duke killing and stealing? How am I supposed to be motivated by gangstars?  30 Jan 2005

Sun Silk ''Brazilian'' Ad
The most annoying ad to ever be flighted. The girl with the limp hair who feels like part of the furniture, but then gets all excited and Brazilian because of her shampoo.  20 Jan 2005

The rise and rise and Noeleen Maholwana-Sangqu
"3Talk with Noeleen" (SABC3 weekdays 17h30-18h30) is really a show to watch.  19 Jan 2005

Inappropriate news footage
The visuals used in the background of etv's news insert regarding the alleged club bouncer beatings were not inside Tiger Tiger.  17 Nov 2004

Are South Africans congenitally boring?
Having suffered for the cause and submitted myself to several episodes of The Block, I can only conclude that South Africans are the most boring people on the planet.  12 Oct 2004

Investigative journalism at its best!
Well done, Jessica Pitchford and the Special Assignment team, for sterling work in last night's exposé of corrupt cops in Johannesburg taking bribes from sex workers.  28 Sep 2004

''Where do we come from?'' on Carte Blanche
If any of you missed it - on Sunday night Carte Blanche aired a very interesting show, tracing DNA and lineage back across the world.  22 Sep 2004

Project Fame
Besides 5fm, why has this exceedingly horrid little show not got more bad press?  18 Aug 2004

SABC's 3Bee Loyalty Campaign
I was already getting irritated with the distracting banners SABC3 continually run across the screen when programming is running late, and now we also have some little character bouncing around ...  2 Feb 2004

Idols competition
"I have a huge gripe with the Idols competition going on at the moment. It is the most blatant display of racism that I have ever seen."  24 Aug 2003

The Friday night dilemma
Sopranos, X-Files, Outerlimits all at the same time? Can't some of the goodness be spread over to some of the dull mid week slots?  11 May 2003

No 'false' knight in Micatex ad
Cudoes to the makers of the Plascon Micatex ad for being so upfront about their use of "simulated hail".  14 Apr 2003
