Is there anyone in Australian TV that has an imaginative cell in their tiny little brain! I looked through the Green Guide yesterday and I think I found about 4 or 5 hours of worthwhile entertainment, at least Myth Busters are back!

why is it upsetting? the real problem is that most new ideas and innovations and inventions simply do not work, in both a marketing sense and practically as well. It is easier to find a formula that has been successful elsewhere and import it, whether it is flint axes or TV shows, as you know it works. It is also easier to sell to advertisers who have to put up the hard $. They lose big time if it is a flop. The history of invention is that most new ideas are flops. Entertainment is a little different, in that people like something fresh and new, but what one audience finds entertaining will probably also be a hit with other audiences.
There is a rule somewhere that new technology has to be 10 times better than old technology to be accepted by people.
