Underbelly

[Moi]

Will it get off the ground? 
The show that is, not the belly lol
What are they gonna do if it gets a court order to stop?

Another year of CSI 

I reckon these meatheads have had enough exposure, rather watch CSI.

Although I might watch it to see if I recognise anyone in it

Good publicity for the show this will it won't it be banned talk. They wouldn't have made it if there was any serious threat to the show being cancelled says cynical me .

I wonder if they'll have certain AFL footballers in the story  .

[WilliamPowell]

Well as of the time of this writing the Court has ruled they cannot show it in Melbourne or on the internet

 

MAde my day

Silly me underestimated the stupidity of the legal system. How's banning the show in one state going to stop people seeing the show in Victoria. Hasn't this twit of a judge ever heard of the internet, dvds, vhs, etc...  . So tiga, julz and everyone else here who lives interstate can watch it but we in Victoria can't just in case one of gets called up for jury duty  .

CHANNEL 9 will appeal against a decision to ban crime drama Underbelly from airing in Victoria until after a gangland murder trial.

Well I won't be watching it cause it's on at the same time as House.

Absolutely BRILLIANT! I loved every minute and can't wait till next week. It has all the quality of a good feature film like "Two Hands" or "Chopper" and it is nothing like any of the previous crime show try hard efforts like "young lions" or "white collar blue". It's in a whole other league and you can tell that some serious money has been spent on it. The acting is first rate and the scripting is excellent. There are quite a few actors in Underbelly that have been under performers in previous projects but they have really impressed me thanks to a superior script and excellent directing.
I went into it not expecting much but I was very pleasantly surprised. Its not banned here in NSW So I get to watch it all. 

I give it 

Julz, I would suggest you at least tape it but if you are not into realistic violent themes, probably best that you give it a miss.

They're saying on the radio there's apparently some loophole for pubs to show it via an interstate satelite feed. Some pubs used a WA feed to show the first episode in Victoria.

[tiga]

I heard that too MT. They are replaying the first episode here on Sunday night as some people didn't get the chance to watch it.
Basically it rated its titties off up here. Personally I could never stand Vince Collossimo but in Underbelly he is brilliant!

Hopefully you guys will get it soon.

It was the Rising Sun in South Melbourne and they may be in contempt of court if there's no loophole.

I can understand the reason behind them banning it here but its bloody unfair that we didn't get to see it.
And that old chook whinging that it will make her family look like real bad people. Well if the hats fit wear it, as this is exactlly what they were, so I don't feel sorry for her or any of her family. They knew what was going on and were a full part of it. And they got what they deserved.

Well another episode of Underbelly has just screened and it just keeps getting better. I really feel for you VIC's missing out. Well it took 6 years before we could see "Blue Murder" up
here due to court proceedings. I hope you all won't have to wait that long. I think it might be on youtube anyway.

Have just seen the first 2 episodes of underbelly...I agree, it's great!
 LMAO @ the meetings that take place in the grandstands at Optus Oval. Six guys in dark suits and dark glasses dont look out of place at all sitting in an empty stand watching the blues train!
I love it because its so local

[mightytiges]

Seems Sydney had their own Underbelly episode today at Kings Cross.

[TFL]

I have watched up to Episode 8 at the moment, and i am enjoying the show.

The last 4 episodes should be available pretty soon, gotta love the pirate market!!!
