Folks, what I am about to show you really did happen. What you will see is extremely graphic and horrifying. You should be over the age of eighteen and be prepared to see a lot of blood. This post is voluntarily rated R18+ for that reason. Now…onto the main point of the post…

I found this gory yet fascinating gem of television history online today. It comes from Philadelphia’s WPVI-6 (we think), and it’s the January 22 1987 suicide of former Philadelphia treasurer Budd Dwyer. Some stations freeze framed it and allowed the audio to continue, WPVI let it run, and I think this is where the footage comes from. Not for the faint of the heart. Watch the video by clicking below.

Frankster has once again outdone himself with the A/V goodness he uploads to his blog.

I strongly advise you to visit his site, and in particular, download the three commercial/program/station ID medleys he’s just done.

And to whet your appetite, with his kind blessing, here’s a preview of one of the medleys. Enjoy!

Yes, it’s a closedown. And more to the point, it’s a Prime Television closedown from the early 1990s. So sue me!

I found this interesting gem from AussieCelebs‘ forums tonight - it’s the bog standard Big Brother “housemate-in-a-bikini” shot, this time of the very well endowed Bianca.

While I love a good bikini shot like any red-blooded male, the glasses and the boobs seem to clash in my eyes…I don’t know why!

The revival of Australian Gladiators is now into the quarter finals, so I figured it was about time I should post this up…one of my favourite characters (if you will)…Angel!

Very nice! Prefer her to Amazon, or Viper. God those two are annoying! Anyway, enjoy!

Ten News Sydney (relayed across New South Wales via Southern Cross Ten) said goodbye to sports presenter Tim Webster during tonight’s bulletin. Tim’s off to concentrate on his afternoon radio program on Sydney’s 2UE, but I believe he’s doing relief work at Ten, so he’s not gone completely.

Anyway, I did record it for the people over at MediaSpy, and I’ve uploaded it here in all its glory. Mind you, it’s a big file, as I also got Angela’s tribute to Tim during her last weather segment (that twerp Tim Bailey is back on Monday…just our luck). Enjoy!

Well, Big Brother has been back on our screens for the past month or so, and that’s given me enough time to source shots of and cast my eye over the female housemates.

So far, I reckon there are four somewhat attractive housemates: Bianca, Rebecca, Brigette and Renee. And guess what I’m going to do? Click the link below for some choice pictures, and my thoughts…

Finally, the NRL Footy Show has done something funny!

Is it just me, or does this remind you of the A-Team?

As some of you might know, I love a good TV station closedown (and a startup too), and I was alerted to a fairly new blog at the USTV Sign-offs Yahoo group. The Television Close Down And Start Up Blog features a wide variety of closedowns and start-ups from around the world. Check it out sometime!
