Melissa Doyle's ridiculous farewell

Talk about an OTT farewell for Channel Seven Melissa Doyle.

But why did they even call it a so-called farewell? It's not like she is leaving the entire station.

Her Sunrise farewell took precedence over the day's news. Such. A. Long. Segment. Repeated. Over. And. Over. LOL. Nothing wrong with having the last half hour of the show for the look backs, is there?

I don't think she is more important than world happenings especially since she's remaining with the Seven Network.

Just when you thought that was enough coverage, Seven's start up show The Daily Edition felt the need to repeat a farewell package during their show.

More like reserved for ads

Reserved for Friends with Pete Evans had the makings of a great new cooking show except for one thing... 

Aussie chef Pete Evans.

Blatant advertising. It was so disappointing to see the obviously paid for marketing for Jacobs Creek wine throughout the entire show.

And see, they even get a mention here, but let’s pretend I just said a ‘wine company’ instead.

And why was it on 7Two so late (9.30pm) on a Friday night? Random.

With Pete Evans' constant references to the brand's wines in the show, Reserved for Friends may as well be a wine documentary instead.

Digital summer

Australian summer television will be interesting this year with the recent addition of multiple new free-to-air digital channels. Will we be bored or will there be some bearable repeats to watch of sitcoms and movies we've watched dozens of times already? It's definetely exciting now with 7mate, 7TWO, GEM and GO! in the picture for the upcoming summer.
