    I've only ever watched a few minutes here or there for the last 10 or 12 years but for those who loved it they deserved at least some advanced notice that last nights show would be it's last.

    As much as I hated what she show had become it deserved a lot better than 24 hours notice for the final show.

    Didn't even get that courtesy. They were told after the show finished.

    C9 trust none of their 'talent' in situations like this. They always wait until the laqst episode has been put to bed before they tell the hosts.

    What they don't understand is that it holds their audience in contempt too.

    Re: The Footy Show

    Always had a streak of meanness in it that I hated. The kind of show where someone gets treated awfully and people are encouraged to stand around and laugh. If you complain about it you are 'weak'. Pathetic show, worst on TV.

    I guess the people who made the decision to ditch the show and effectively crap on the fans is exactly in line with the way the show often treated a lot of people. I can't say I'll miss it in the slightest.

    The last show i watched was when Akermanis crapped on the Bulldogs after being sacked ... The show jumped the shark years before that though.

    Same here and that was the first time I had watched it in ages. Thinking back I didn't even get to the end of the Aker bit.

    McGuire kept Sam (despite appearances to the contrary) on a very tight leash as host and after Eddie went the nasty edge that Eddie kept his finger on got really pronounced. A bit like what would happen if Gary left WOOF.

    Correct. He had free rein after Eddie left and neither Garry nor JB had the will or the ability to keep him in check. He did as he pleased and the Neanderthals lapped it up.
