There have been many more successful toons then Angry Beavers. It was never popular on Nick UK.


I never said it was the most popular, I think it's obviouls they stuff like Ren & Stimpy and RugRats are/were much more popular, but Angry Beavers has certinally had its share of sucess, defiantly 3 or 4 years ago most people I knew liked it. Whether it was poupar on Nick UK or Not, I definatly watched it. It must be popular on CITV though or they wouldn't keep showing it.

Nice use of the link time today to advertise MoM by having parts of last weeks show interupting live continuity, and the advert with them showing the best bits from last week. They could do with showing this in prime time at some point this evening, they won't but they could do.

Andy was back at that newsdesk thing to tell us what was coming up on MoM, he said CiTV is back on Monday and Gail will be here!

Maybe it could be. That Teletext TV Plus article a few days back said that she lives in london. It'll be a bit of a treck everyday, but if they pay her well, it'll be worth it I suppose. So I presume she hasn't been before due to filming the new series of how 2?

Oddly enough, Gail McKenna did a shift on Sky Sports News recently!

Did they really? Was it a CiTV branded trailer? I always think they look wrong outside of CiTV, as CiTV doesn't fit in with the itv branding.
Why (especially for Saturday morning shows) they can't make a CiTV and an itv version, it would be simple, just edited with a different end and endcap.

More promotion like this is what the show needs. Non CiTV viewers may have tuned in the week before last, noticed it was a film, not watched the film and didn't watch last week, maybe thinking it would be another film.

I wonder what today's show will be like. I hoping for the same as last week basically, more mayhem!

I personally won't be suprised to see they've made a few tweaks already. Hopefully they'll be for the better, if only it's shifting the audience to where they are filling the studio rather than shoved in a corner.

Ministry of Mayhem was so much better today. It was funnier, fealt more live then scripted and was extremely enjoyable.

I preffered this week's show very much more to last weeks show.

Although, I think Michael is extremely unused compared to Holly and Stephen.

i agree, this weeks show was much more enjoyable then last weeks, there was a much better atmosphere in the studio, and although there wasn't much of a change in content, they did leave the crap parts from last week out such as that eletric shock game (although it was trailed for next weeks show) dat door dare...

skatey cake is a good game, and i found the spelling bee competition more enjoyable this week, the phone in was done better as well, and the "postbag" slot was better with post

if the show can improve like this just between 1st & 2nd show, i think by the summer the MoM could starting to tke off

You're very right. Stephen, Holly and Michael had a real good presenting chemistry this week. I find MoM better then Dick n Dom, I switched over twice to Dick n Dom and it just annoyed me.

I think having a girl presenting the show means they have one up on CBBC.

This week's show was defiantly better than last week's show. More enjoyable atmosphere than last week and more of a live, unscripted feeling. More changes like this hopefully the show will improve. However, I do feel that the pigeon, agents & twins are defiantly starting to get boring.

One thign I want to know is who directed CD:UK today? Watching the Hotshots Review was awful. Camera angles changing every few seconds, dodgy camera angles, split screen etc... it looked awful!
