They rebranded? Inconceivable! ... Well, no, not really. Just makes me feel a little old.

Don't I know it... I'd love to get started on it from the beginning. Looking out for el cheapo DVD copies of S1 at the moment (would rather not pay OTT boxset prices if I'm not sure if I'll like it).

See: Charlotte Hornets, mid '90s
Getting a massive nostalgia headrush now - everyone seemed to have something Hornets branded back in intermediate.

I resent the Queen Street Hare Krishnas that try to hook you in with some inane comment ("People who wear jeans like yours are very intelligent!"), offer you a "free" book in return for a donation, then get disappointed when you're carrying less than a tenner for the donation.

Oh, for those heady days when Prime posed "a serious threat" to TVNZ and CanWest...

The Yellow Pages offers up a goldmine of bad hair puns: Hairforce in Point Chevalier, Hairport in New Lynn, Mane Event in Te Atatu, (more disturbing, really, this one) Scissorhands in Henderson... that's just West Auckland, obviously.

Ben: me too. I actually find it truly depressing that there are so few movies for which I'm not willing to wait until the DVD is available for $1 on Tuesdays.

Last one I'll quote, and I can't resist quoting it in full for its glorious dementedness.
What TVNZ programmes? We are severely punished with the ongoing repeats of Friends, Australian Soapies, and American Comedies. If you ask me what NZ culture is, I can tell you it?s all about drugs, violence, and crime. And that is what TVNZ is all about. The other foreign TVs promote foreign extreme behaviour that is copied by so-called future generations even among those in so-called higher education.
My suggestion is to promote national culture and unity, and less Police vs criminal shows. It is defining NZ psyche in everything we do, that people are categorised to the 'them and us' mentality.
Once you get that solidarity thing achieved, people shall be happy again to start spending, working, and saving. And it is timely for the 2011 World Cup. The All Blacks has to be a national team, not them and us team.

Its quite ironic Andy Shaw's father was a rude scathing TV reviewer years ago.
I lol'd.
