I never thought Rove was particularly funny, it's his support cast that really makes the show (Peter Hellier, Dave Hughes, Corinne Grant). When he hosted the ARIA's a couple of years ago he made a joke, and the punchline was 'they lied to us in song!', which is a blatant Simpsons rip-off, and I think he gets some of self-depricating schtick from Conan O'Brien. I've heard him rip off other stuff from the Simpsons too. One funny Rove moment was when Will Smith was on, who accidentally spat on him while he was talking. He apologised, and Rove said 'don't wipe that off, I can sell it on e-bay'. Funny.
So..what was my point? Greys Anatomy is on Sundays here (QLD), so he's got a better chance here at least, and is anybody even watching CSI anymore?
ETA: We do love the female swimmers too, and Giaan Rooney has scrubbed up really well and is hopefully building a decent media career.

Count me in as amazed by Rove's (the show and the person) success: he comes off as such a smug, smirky little thing, and he can't deliver a line well either --on the one full episode I watched, he said everything super-slowly and just repeated the joke in a louder voice whenever he didn't get the laugh he expected.
I think the supporting cast's just as bad, though --sorry EvilMinion! Peter Hellier's a real victim of "shouting makes everything funny!" disease.
(I can't stand The Chaser either, though, so YMMV)
Yeah, our female swimmers are popular --which is kind of surprising, since all the blondes look and sound alike.
ETA: Maybe this belongs in Happiness and Joy, but the Raiders beat Newcastle 48-18 last night! And the Roosters are on the bottom of the ladder!

All right mutley, let's take this outside. (Jokes - Hellier helps make Rove funnier, he isn't necessarily funny on his own).

OK, it's on ! ~*En Garde!*~ (WEG) Peter Hellier makes Rove funnier in the same way as stubbing your toe makes the flu more bearable --any distraction's welcome from the main annoyance!

I'm not a Rove or Rove fan at all, but there was a nice opinion piece[/color] in today's SMH about doing the first show post-Belinda. I'll still be watching CSI, though (I'm probably the only one, EvilMinion

Eh, given a choice I'll watch CSI over Rove ... and CSI is pretty mind numbing. I just don't like live, variety, personality-driven shows of Rove's ilk. It's very sad that his wife died, he's seems like a nice enough man blah blah blah but I'll be buggered if I'm going to give him an hour of my life once a week.

I was having a fine old time watching Miss Marple on the ABC on Sunday night but now the series has finished. *sob* Yes, I am getting old. But I'm still not going to watch Rove!

Dan Carters undies are going international!Tonights news said hes the rugby version of David Beckham - I actually think thats quite true - not just a pretty face, hes such a golden boy on the field too! I may be biased, seeing as I like in Canterbury though.
