CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

I'll be taping tomorrow's M.O.M as i've been taping it since show 8. It'll be interesting to see if anything does happen tomorrow, it was strange why they didnt tell us what was coming up this week on last week's show.

I have an idea for an ending for the show. Its kinda 'Big Breakfasty style' (like the friday song) instead of singing whats happening in the news like the friday song on the BB they could sing about what happened in the show singing along to the main lines "get up, join in" after each verse.

Good idea!They have a friday song on Pirate FM aswell!

I'd still love to know why Michael Underwood got the chop from MoM. Can anybody help?

Yeah, I noticed that on Globo Loco too, kinda looked like it was filmed in America (anyone else ever noticed how on most American shows it seems a bit blury?) So I don't know what was going on there.

I also saw the changed trailer for MoM and it definately suggests a change is going to happen, as well as them not mentioning what was on this week on last Saturdays show. I guess we'll find out soon.

I think we're all in the dark on this one, I've tried searching the net and found nothing. Maybe he was getting bored of it or maybe he's got some personal problems that were in the way... it could be almost anything.

How weird is that?! A show now called MOM but with a signature tune that still announces the Ministry of Mayhem and an excellent signature tune at that which has just been cut to shreds. I despair!

citv.co.uk seem to be pointing people to this http://www.citv.co.uk/page.asp?partid=176 as the new website.

Remember the week before Christmas when CITV was on in the afternoon and CBBC wasn't, we wondered if this would improve their ratings.

Well it did with CITV getting 5 out of the 10 top children's programmes for week ending 26th December. Normally they get about 2 if they are lucky.

Tuesday's My Parents are Aliens was the highest rating show with 0.6m. The other 4 were Monday's Aliens and three editions of Atomic Betty

My theory is that it is cheaper to employ 2 people as opposed to 3.

Because the old website never got updated much and it has Michael on it.

All in all it's all very strange.

I don't like the cross branding of MoM, I still prefer it as the ministry of mayhem with it being shortened to 'the ministry' as opposed to MoM.

The programme doesn't need to change, and I doubt that shortening it to MoM will help the show that much.

It does need to sort things out though like it's brand, they can't keep both as a main brand else it will easily confuse.
The website needs to be updated, I don't think that it needs changing that much, but needs updating like removing Michael, adding new games, etc. It is a great website, it's just the fact that somebody forgot about it one day.

And as for Michaal, I suppose we'll never know if he left or if he was sacked.

Well it looks like it was just a name change instead of a whole layout change, thank god. I also prefer it being called Ministry of Mayhem opposed to MoM. But I don't think it needs to change anything either, apart from a few things like FanOfTV said.

I can't be exact on dates or anything but when CBBC first started The Saturday Show, it was great, then after a while they put something else on, then it returned with a tottally new look, presenters and layout and it was all rubbish. If MoM changed and it turned out for the worse all those that wanted a change would be really disapointed and the ones who liked it how it was would be even more so. But as I said it looks like it's staying put for now.

I thought last weeks show was quite good, and this new game with the doc could be quite good.
