Untitled[edit]

This is a list of every Australian television programme both past and present. Please contribute any show that you can remember. Now if you feel confident writing an article on a TV show on this list, please under the heading "See also" add a link back to this list. The current format of this list is that it is under genre. If anyone feels that it should be changed - please say so. The format that a programme should be added to this list is the name of the show should in "Title Caps" and please add the network or networks that it was broadcast on and the years it was broadcast. If a programme has had different titles eg. Pick a Box, Ford Superquiz, Superquiz please add all the names individually to the list. Regards Ianblair23 09:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Factual[edit]

Today Tonight, 60 Minutes and A Current Affair are not factual and should be placed underneath 'Comedy'.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.127.250 (talk) 14:25, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is a valid observation, indeed! TheBustopher (talk) 18:30, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bizarre E Street addition[edit]

the entry for E Street has been appended with the following: "S Street (Nine Network/ATN-7 - 2002-2003/04)" I have no idea what this is supposed to mean? I never knew E Street was restarted nine years later!!!! Asa01 01:26, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Affiliates[edit]

I'm going to remove references to Australian affiliate networks from the list (eg, Prime, WIN, NBN). The list is incomplete (there are other affiliates not mentioned - GWN, Imparja, etc) and some entries are just bizarra, eg "(Seven, Prime, Channel 7)". DynaBlast 10:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Made in Australia[edit]

I noticed a number of bodgy entries in this article. To reiterate, we're listing the shows *produced* in Australia, not the ones just screened there. Also, "Current" means those shows still in production (as of now), and "Past" are those axed/no longer produced. --Jquarry 23:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

shown in, produced in, produced by, co-produced by ... Can the talk heading be expanded ? Farscape isn't listed --Dave Rave (talk) 21:18, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Rovers[edit]

What about The Rovers? I remember that series very well. It was aired in Spain, in the seventies, along with Skipy. I remember that series because of Rowane Wallace (brunette with green eyes) who appeared in a european movie "Squeze a flower" I think --80.36.126.59 (talk) 21:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whats the show?[edit]

Anyone know the name of a old kid/teen tv show where the main character is in high school, the guy(like zac morris from save by the bell) plays in a band with his friends. He plays guitar. There is a character called Madeline, who I think is his annoying sister. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.232.53.149 (talk) 20:16, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like Pugwall. The sister was Marion, not Madeline. G7mzh (talk) 13:50, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking[edit]

I've been gnoming through a few Australian TV articles. Since they were started, the en.WP's guidelines on linking have changed considerable. It is now not normal to link such terms as "Australia(n)" and "television", whether in an infobox or the main text.

I see a lot of flag icons, which IMO are regrettable. They add little, and since the Australian flag is very similar to that of NZ and a few other countries, I can't see the point. Decoration/prettiness should certainly not be the point. I'm removing them when I see them. Tony (talk) 08:58, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure information on picture format (SD/HD) is accurate before creating a new article![edit]

Can people please ensure the information regarding SD/HD is correct when creating a new article. If the show is shown on 7, 9, or 10, it will be SD only. These channels do not currently broadcast HD content (only 7Mate, GEM, and One HD do). HD content is also shown on certain Foxtel channels such as Lifestyle and FOX8. Also remember that if a show is SD only (and 90% will be), then the audio format should be "Stereo" and not Dolby Digital. MisterZed (talk) 13:29, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another important note: if a show was broadcast in HD in Australia, then listing *only* Dolby Digital is incorrect. Unlike the USA, where Dolby Digital is the only sound format used with digital TV (regardless of SD/HD), in Australia, Dolby Digital is only used in HD broadcasts. SD broadcasts use a different format, stereo only. So both stereo and Dolby Digital must be listed.MisterZed (talk) 05:58, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whats the show? #2[edit]

Trying to remember a kids show - probably from the 80's - think it was called Kicking About - about some "less affluent" kids who start playing soccer - think the team was called Westport. Can't find a mention anywhere on the web. Anon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.109.35.57 (talk) 08:28, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Community television shows[edit]

Have removed all the Community Television shows from the list unless they have their own wikipedia article. If we started listing every single community tv series here the list would truly be endless. There are so many shows that literally pop up all the time and often only last a few weeks or episodes. Most of these only appear in one community area and are therefore not "Australian" shows since they are only watched by a small community. Lists of these TV shows should be limited to articles on those channels or perhaps a new list of Australian Community Television Series could be created. J Bar (talk) 02:40, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
