Underbelly 2
I liked the first series of Underbelly there was a bit of language and a few racey scenes in amongst a story line that could absorb that sort of thing. Underbelly 2 seems to be the return of Channel 9′s romp show of the early 90′s Chances. Every second scene there is a boob in shot and every third scene some one is ‘having a good time’. I am not a prude and am not saying I can’t handle it but I just don’t see how it aids the storyline at all.
I am sure the people who go for this type of nude television are not watching Underbelly as am I sure the people who watch Underbelly are not watching it for the nudity. It is just a case of boobs for the sake of boobs in my opinion. Maybe its boobs for the sake of a shallow storyline? Or to try and pad the season out to 12 episodes instead of 8 without the boobs.
I am liking the story so far myself. It glamorizes crime a little bit but I think we are all old enough to understand that it is a TV show.
It does bring authenticity to the era that the show was based on – Sex, drugs and police corruption.
What you “people” will never understand is that the crime & lifestyle portrayed in these shows is still alive & kicking. You are just not exposed to it because you live low-life boring blue-collar lives.
I’m with you SJ, last night actually made me think of the old show Chances too…..the boobs have been a bit over the top, last night especially. That girl couldn’t keep her top on!
It’s been years since we’ve seen this much smoking on a new show too. We’ve all turned into prudes. I see the media is reporting today that underbelly isn’t actually factual correct and the writers have pulled stories from different places to make a new story
Love the underbelly storyline though.
Crap, your opinion is IRRELEVANT to us! We are all sick of hearing from taxi drivers with their unsolicited uneducated opinions. Keep them to yourself & your TAB cashier.
Ok Rob B, stop using SJ’s username to post your own blogs. If he hears you’ve been using his name to complain about boobs on TV you’ll get yourself banned.
I am with you here. Though I enjoy the arts and think they should always be encouraged it is just not my cup of tea.
You got to be bloody kidding me. Its great to see a bit of T & A back on the telli. Should be more of it I reckon. And whats this crap you reckon it glamorizes it a bit, its just a story drop, it back a notch.
I realy like Underbely. I look forward to it each week. Nudity doesn’t worry me but I think I like some nudity instead of none. What is wth these kiwis having such a high power in our underworld ? useless sheep shagers
Gotta love you Jethro. I bet your statement about nudity not worrying you doesn’t relate to yourself? Let’s hope so anyway.
Thank you Dipstick in advising us that the crime & lifestyle portrayed in these shows is still alive & kicking. You are the most knowledgeable and well connected person I know. Where can I get some “gear” from? Is that what you were doing at the superbowl, or was it the bushfires or maybe when you were chatting with Roy?
Skunk, you are the new Velcrap of this site.
And you are, and always will be the Pinochio of this site.
For someone who is against boring posts, you need to shorten yours….. The last few lectures you’ve given on spelling haven’t been read by anybody other than yourself and your mum
Crap, I’m not here to entertain, I’m here to educate. My goal is to make a difference to the bevan group within our society. I think I’ve done that so far on this site. Your thoughts?
My crusade is a thankless one, but internally a very rewarding one.
I must admit it has been a slow process to date on this site. I have made more significant changes on other sites far more quickly. I believe the difficulty of this site is with individuals such as Tigger & the Fat One who have a total lack of insight into their own stupidity & Bevan-ness. The large dosers of humour that I encounter here make the process a little less painful.
Thanks for listening, Your Hero.
Your purpose may be education, but how are you achieving that if people don’t read your long & boring posts? The ‘your’ vs ‘you’re’ educational article is a prime example.
NB the correct use of the word ‘your’ above. Class dismissed
Dear Crap, please note that an apostrophe is NOT a quotation mark (inverted comma.)
You will NOT be moving ahead to the next class.
….3….2….1….. Goodnight!! I wonder if you & the Fat One share the same dreams.
Anyone else feeling they’d like to dance?
Dear self professed grammar guru, you should also know that the full stop in your first sentence should appear outside the bracket.
Not so flash on the dance floor are you!
INCORRECT!
Velco has wiped the floor with Dipstick AGAIN!
Aren’t you getting sick of it Velcro?
INCORRECT Skunk!
If you had even the slightest level of intelligence you would realise that he dug himself into a hole & I buried him & as you will notice…..he has sensibly not come back for more!
SJ can you write your next post about what you think IASM does with the chickens after closing time
He has a plucking good time?
Crap, you know what I do to chickens (cowards) because you’re one of them.
Krusty, what made you come out from under your rock?
No dancers today?
Ther are no dancers because they are all cleaners. They wipe the floor with you
I have been busy.
