why did I feel like I was watching Rove ::)..
:thumbsup
If McManus was hosting The Bounce it might have half a chance, with the unfunny Helliar hosting it has none.
Another Ch7 footy show soon to be buried.

Because you didn't laugh?

SEN said the Bounce had more viewers than the Footy Show.

You'd hope so given it was the debut & in prime time.
Let's see how many in wk 3..

Your (well most) are going to tune in the first time, I missed the first 20 minutes or so and saw bits and pieces after that, seemed sorta OK. Not gunna last though IMO.
Agree Peter Helliar hosting by himself doesn't seem to work

I think the bounce is targeting a younger demographic hence the softcockery humor.  Mums will be feel safe that big bad Sammy won't be molesting anything on this show or ridiculing the local unfortunates or undoing all the work of the suffragette movement lol. :whistle  So if your kids are young, wont hurt to let em watch this one with big Richo and some crappy humor.  If you like some controversy, you can watch the other clowns I spose.  Personally I enjoy 'before the game'.  For Richo and Leighs sake, I hope the show picks up and gets a good solid following.

Would think that Peter Helliar is a major problem

A "Wiggles" football show in that timeslot was always in trouble.  Those commenting on how unfunny it is are missing the point...it was meant to be 'kids' humor ie harmless not bawdy like Sammy no holds barred Newman.  It was softy on purpose, they were testing the market for a 'family friendly' alternative because of all the bitching about the footy show, but like most things, people will bitch then go right back and watch it LOL.

Totally agree

The bigesst problem with the bounce is Peter Helliar

At the Friday night premiere of his movie  Love You Too, Helliar had no idea Seven was in discussions to shelve the show. ``We're having a great time and we think it's a great show and the network love it,'' he said.

``People I speak to seem to love it.''
