Did you know Edit. Connections Featured in Dancing with the Stars: Episode 6. User reviews 3 Review. Top review. TT- "TV Trash". For years I've endured this early evening garbage only because I don't have control over the remote. Characterized by biased reviews and cheap story gimmicks, Today Tonight often goes to enormous lengths in attracting ratings. Nothing makes me more nauseous than those stories that feature sad music in the background in a vain attempt at evoking emotion from only the most impressionable viewers.
The variety of stories TT runs are both predictable and stale and have been ever since I was old enough to understand the term "sensationalist journalism". Instead the program has recently been opting for stories such as white goods or electronics that spontaneously explode in the night. I'm reduced to fits of laughter every time I hear presenter Anna Coren dramatically demand, "Watch tonight to find out if the ticking time bomb is in your kitchen" also known as a dishwasher in most Australian households.
But it would have to be those episodes they run about rival network channel 9 that really gets my blood boiling. Within weeks or days of a successful series being aired, TT will no doubt be there to reveal the "truth" to viewers all around the country.
They've been fooling you all along". Just one example of the tactics this dreadful program tries to shove down viewers throats.
Even more bewildering is the mysterious stories they run where your left asking more questions than before the episode even aired. I will confess however that the only reason I would ever actually choose to watch this program over recorded repeats of Antiques Road Show is if the episode featured the famous "dirty grumpy old drunken neighbor" story.
I find them hilarious. Especially the scenes of violent chaos as they swipe at the camera man or prod the boom operator with a broom. Please do the world a favor and switch this program off the next time you hear the dramatic opening sequence of TT polluting your still half intelligent brain Instead wait until 60 minutes on Sunday.
Crisb90 Aug 1, Details Edit. Release date Australia. Official site Australia. Network Seven Productions. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 30 minutes. Host Naomi Robson appeared just 24 hours after Steve Irwin's death outside Australia Zoo wearing a khaki outfit with a lizard on her shoulder. TT blamed the comical safari look on the wardrobe assistant who packed Robson's bags. Robson apologised and said she had no idea what her outfit would be until just before the cameras rolled.
A TT reporter bought chains and locked an elderly woman into her nursing home room for a story about a dispute with the home. But federal government officials soon discovered the chains were a stunt set up by the TV crew.
The reporter was stood down. The woman said later it was TT's idea to chain her to her cupboard. The judgment found that Seven had defamed Mercedes by implying she was a drug smuggler and a drug dealer and posed a threat to the safety of Power.
Outside court Mercedes said: "I really hope that in future Today Tonight thinks hard before broadcasting attacks and lies about somebody. It may be just showbiz and ratings for Today Tonight, but it is real people they hurt. The family of a New Zealand earthquake survivor was outraged when a Today Tonight reporter entered Christchurch hospital and filmed their injured mother with a small digicam as she lay in bed.
The reporter claimed a "world exclusive" bedside interview with the woman, who had been pulled from the rubble of the Pyne Gould Guinness building 24 hours after it was destroyed. But her son said TT did not have permission to interview her. The Canterbury district health board said the show had "blatantly" accessed the hospital without permission.
TT humiliated former Number 96 screen siren Abigail by portraying her as a squatter and filming her with hidden cameras outside her home.
Her friends and fans were outraged. The deal meant Wood could not make her scheduled appearance at the children's beauty pageant. The story claimed the council was "spending ratepayers money to make Muslims feel more at home and to spread their faith". The Australian Communications and Media Authority found that Seven had breached the code by misrepresenting the council, including telling viewers that no one from the council would speak to the program when, in fact, calls had been returned.
