McLeod's Daughters

[Dulce de Leche]

Am I the only lame person who sometimes watches this show on We?



Is it on a mainstream channel in Australia? Is it popular there? I am curious....

It's really not a great show; just your average evening drama, but with Australian accents....I can't get enough of that!

 

[Dulce de Leche]

I want to watch it now but my roommate has control of the TV.

 

[anadgemila]

Dulce -- you are not alone! This show is my guilty pleasure! Can't get enough of those cute boys with sexy accents

The show is on a mainstream free to air channel here in Australia, and it is a popular show. I've only watched half an episode of it though.

Beli
Has it been airing there for a while? I was wonder how far behind the Australia airing we are because WE will have the season finally and then two weeks later it will be the new season premiere.


You got that cool accent too don't you! I'm jealous!

 

[beli]

The shows been going for years.

I don't have that accent at all. The actors in that show have horrid Sydney accents.

I'm originally from the outback and sound completely different.

Australia is up to series 5, as per: (warning spoilers imminent)

Thank you for the site beli

It looks like they changed a character so we must be really behind.


From the outback I'm sure you have a cool accent. I'm from California don't have even a hint of accent whatsoever

You can't not have an accent. You've probably got a Californian accent. Everyones got an accent.

 

[anadgemila]

Not really, it's the boring version of accents.

Thanks for all the McLeod's info...my pillow is calling. Have a good night or is it day there?

California accents are really quite distinct. The people I have met from California have much louder accents than mine. lol.

Tis day time here. Nighty night

[Dulce de Leche]

Really? They sound different than most of the Sydney people I've met.

Wow, so the show has been on awhile. Last week we had the episode where the youngest girl (can't remember her name now) got married for 5 minutes to the Italian guy, then changed her mind.

Next episode she is apparently going to go crazy on the rebound.

Fun times!

Thanks for the info beli!

 

[Dulce de Leche]

Ooooohhh I could buy it all on dvd. Australian accents whenever I want!

 

[anadgemila]

The website has all kinds of fun info but I don't want to ruin it with the spoilers


I'm with you about the accents anytime dulce!

I curse McLeod every time it is on.

I reckon they should decapitate one character each week with a sword

Or have the duel at 20 paces with a member of The Alice.

 

[beli]

Did I mention I grew up not to too far from The Alice? (as they call it, we called it just plain Alice).

No. But you are not a cast member. You are saved from this mass slaughter.

What other TV shows can we add into this.

 

[beli]

All of them.

PS Why the hell has Channel 9 started playing Coronation Street?

 

[timothius]

Just let me salvage the last 5 minutes of Thursday's 7:30 report and I'm with you.

 

[Dulce de Leche]

Sorry guys, I wish I wasn't that stereotypical American who loves Australian accents, but I am.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Tis ok

I have accent issues.

 

[Dulce de Leche]

what kind of issues?

 

[Angela Harlem]

well, for starters i absolutely cringe every time an australian is talking next ot an american. i reckon we sound so bloody awful. then i also cringe because i dont actually believe in regional differences in language. largely and very, very (very) loosely speaking, perhaps there is, but speech is as unique almost as a fingerprint. in america for example, this might be different, as i know there's some afflections which vary in some states but there's a great number of individuals who wont match whatever stereotype you want to throw.
i think this came about from arguing with some limp dicked arse i met through some friends who tried telling me there was something fucking wrong with sydney accents, but what a surprise, couldn't actually pinpoint any difference between ours and his superior melbourne one. now when people try and point it out, i want to tell them to fuck off because i get immediately defensive and cannot stand the whole one upmanship bullshit.



did i mention i have issues?
