CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

Sounds an ok game, not too sure on the rest of the menu though, sorry.

As for the Nesquick Sponser, yes it was about to play, about 2 seconds were shownt before it was cut to the titles.

I'd personally rather stick with the current shedule than that one, and accoridng to radiotimes.com Pet Alien, Atomic Betty and Drake & Josh are still going to be on MOM in two weeks time, though of course they could be wrong as they still have Michael Underwood listed as one of the presenters.

Well if the look is going to change this week then they're not changing the shedule yet, because all the shows and a few of the segments where advertised for this weeks show at the end of last weeks.

As to the idea on sponsor it could be litterally anything, lol.

Sorry for being a bit late here but a new sponsor for M.O.M? I know SM:tv used to do it at certain times of the year like: Spring to Summer. monster much and summer to winter Walkers squares or something.

Noticed a continuity error on last saturday's show, the doctor was in the background with the kids during the interview with Tabby and when we cut to the lab if you look out the window of the lab set you can see that the kids and the sofa have suddenly vanished!. I'd at least thought that they would have Holly and Tabby moving away in the background while the lab section
was going on.

The opening to the lab was great with the doctor "dreaming" about Elton John i presume, anyone think that the doctor should have his own sketch apart from the lab?

Like an at home with the doctor?

It could be one way to go if they feel that the lab is becoming a bit weak, though even though the experiments may start becoming similar, it's still all about what the doctor says rather than what they do.

It looked as though the Doctor's Lab was pre recorded this week, I don't know why, but they had to link it into cakey sk8 that they did well with them both walking out of the lab. The biggest difference was the doc's hair do. You'd have thought they'd have told Peter that the lab was coming up so don't stand in the Tabby interview.

The sponsership change will be because the old one has ended (with it being a year since the show began this Saturday) as they didn't have the bumpers on last week, though cd:uk didn't have their Ribena ones on the bank holiday programme, so who knows what is going on.

Moving onto CiTV. Something we haven't discussed in a long time here.
But something's definately changed. I'm not sure what though. It may be that they are in mid move to Manchester, or that they are already there.
The Mic seemed different today, Tim didn't sound the same. It actually sounded like it does on Sundays, but isn't it a different person on Sundays?
Plus the subtitles caption was the ITV1 usual Subtitles instead of the CiTV fonted one, but wouldn't that suggest that they're in London?
And the dog didn't look right.
They've got new graphics animations too, a lot of which work a bit like ITV2's, have a CiTV logo and then the word's New Series or Brand New, and then a nice fruit machine style goodbye at the end.

It's all a bit wierd though, as though something is happening, but I'm not sure what.

I love the dance that introduces the Ministry of Mayhem. But recently there have been a few hitches:

- the presenters have been getting a bit sloppy with the routine

- the camera tends to focus on the guests who seem incapable of learning the very basic routine

In recent weeks, though, things have gone from bad to worse as the theme music seems to be getting shorter and shorter. Are they about to scrap the dance altogether? Why do TV execs not realise when they've got something good and always try to make 'improvements'?

New Worst witch starts tomorrow!
I wonder if they'll change the titles tomorrow.They'll have to if it's a new series with a new character won't they?
BTW,You can tell how old those Rugrats episodes are!

I dont like the the version of the theme they've been using at the moment, though it was funny to see Stephen sing the wrong words at the beginning.

The presenters dont seem to dance at all anymore which is dissapointing. After looking at some old episodes the dance wasnt that bad and they looked like they enjoyed doing the dance ,it was funny to see Holly get it wrong for 3 weeks after the menu before the July re-launch, was that why the extended it after the re-launch?.

I've given the gunge desk a chance and i dont like it , if they do celebrate their 1st birthday this saturday they could do the proper ending and ask Holly to re-do the challenge they asked her to do on the first show and see if she's learnt from doing the thank you desk!.

Good idea for the gungetank to return. I'm not such a fan of the thank you desk myself, it's always clearly been a tiswas rip off, but it doesn't work as well, I'd much prefer to see the gunge tank.

It seemed as though they stopped doing the tank shortly after they gunged James or was it some other kid who then started to cry?

I hope they at least give it a mention if they don't go all out and have a big party.

I infact wish they would go back to the way that they used to do it a few months back. The short animation appear then would cut to the studio with the presenters running out of the big door thing and singing the almost full version. They actually put effort into the dance with Micheal (as he always seemed to put more effort into the dance I thought).

Anyway, back to CiTV. I am really getting frd up of it as they play the SAME f*cking trailer every ad break AND between programmes!!!!! Its getting on my bloody nerves, bring the presenters back!
The new Worst Witch is a cheap rip-off of the older series. It's supposed to be the same school and yet the inside is completely different. The new Miss Hardbroom isn't as good as the older one as she has a softer voice which is just not suited to the part but does look kind of like the older one so thats ok. Finally, this series must have had a much smaller budget as the sets are awful, there like cardboard (Especially the "stone" floor). More suited to Sunset Beach!
They should have never got ridden of the older series or not have axed 'Weirdsister College' (which was OK really, shame it didn't get many viewers and only lasted one series).

What did anyone else think of the awful series?

LoveTV

I'm glad to see it's not just me that regrets falling standards in the dance department. How do we inform the producers?

By the way, I still can't figure out why Michael Underwood has been ditched. He did a first-class job and he certainly put his best foot forward for the titles. Can anyone tell me the reason he's gone?

CITV is bad and so is CBBC apart from the c beebies..my little ones love that but -

now with sky... kids all love nick..disney channel and the others..citv and cbbc just seems to be just so un cared for..nothing original..the only thing close to ant or dec or something like the old cbbc with philp schofield is Puffins Pla(i)ce with Kevin Pamplin on channel tv he maybe to old now but he is so funny!

citv is just so dull flashing graphics a stupid voice over and full of shows on nick they do have a few good shows but too many naff ones and mom is just so stupid you have to wonder how badly its going to effect on those presenters in their futures on TV!!!!

I don't know what to make of the new TWW really.Titles aren't too amazing,it's not TV nightmares!The logo's not bad though.
I'd like the the old theme tune speeded up [played by busted!],and the titles could be the new girl getting a few things wrong,then spilling the pot all over the screen and a few clips followed by the logo.It could look like Tiswas final series though!

But,yeah,Weirdsister college was good i thought,especially the theme tune.
