The Chaser’s War on Everything

The Chaser’s War on Everything (ABC TV Australia) it is one of the best comedies being broadcast today. In UK terms it marries the sketch show genre of the Fast Show with the Current Affairs whitty commentary of Have I got news for you.
Testament to its popularity is the loyal uploading of clips just moments after broadcasting on YouTube, which incidentally ABC does allow, idents.tv even has high quality full episodes.
Comparisons have been drawn between the Chaser and The Colbert Report (Comedy Central US). There is certainly a similarity between the Chaser’s Andrew Hansen and Colbert’s Stephen Colbert, as both take care of their appearance, but the Chaser trumps.
I do feel the Chaser overstepped the mark in its use of BDSM nudity in a Circular Quay sketch, Sydney, yes that was bad, and I’m not just demonstrating my extensive knowledge of Sydney’s Streets gleaned from many a happy walk. Another bad sketch was when the Crazy Warehouse Guy went to Church.
But getting back on the forward track if you live in Australia you should watch the Chaser on ABC Wednesdays 9pm Eastern.

Dragnet was a popular, influential and long-running radio and television police procedural about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sgt Joe Friday (played by actor Jack Webb), and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a dragnet for any system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
It has appeared on radio, TV, and on film. Here is clip from the Johnny Carson (doesn’t he look alot like George W Bush?) show recorded during the original run of the 1967-1970 TV-Series.
From an Australian Comedy Programme, I can’t remember the name but it has a man with blond hair.
