CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

I do actually find Mr. Lee funny but isn't he - at the end of the day - just a racist stereotype of what an Asian man is like?

Mind you, I sometimes think the treatment Ray gets is bordering on abuse.

That's the thing, we do find them funny, as I've said before my nan likes MoM just for Ray!

It could be considered racist and the Ray jokes could be considered..... erm.... size-ist? But they obviously don't mind that much otherwise they wouldn't have stayed on the show. I don't find it racist and I honestly think Mr. Lee IS an act. Ray definately doesn't take much s*** from anybody, after he slapped Ricky Gervais on the Chirstmas Edition and then punched Stephen blow the belt last week, I think.

Mr. Lee is definately a good edition to the crew and Ray is definately one of many reasons to watch. I'm glad they've replaced Swing Ray and Race Ray with Ram Ray, it's much better. Though they did advertise at the end of the show that Race Ray was back this week. I also noticed they didn't announce Atomic Betty would be on next week, they annouced Pet Alien and Drake & Josh, maybe they forgot or they're replacing it with something else, though we can find out when they update the web-site this week.

Was it just me or before Jennifer Ellison's first attemp on Cakey skate, I think, did she say S*** quietly?

I can't really comment on comparing it to the old MoM because as I've said before I've only been watching it since the Christmas Day Episode. Todays show was great, funniest since Ricky Gervais appeared on the afore mentioned Christmas day episode.

I think MoM should get moved to September till February.Being on all year round was a quarter of the reason why SMTV went. Or maybe have MoM in a couple of regions [if it's in some of the 4 left] and have something for everywhere!
BTW,I chose Sept-Feb because then it's 6 months and then it'll be on at christmas!

I don't understand the regions thing. It's as part of CiTV so will always be shown across all ITV regions, whether it be ITV1 or UTV.

I'm not sure on the shortening. That way they'd have to find something else to replace it but try and pull in as many viewers (I know it's not doing great at the mo), plus now that they're on form and are working hard it seems on it, rather than just letting ideas run into the ground this summer may be a good period for them to try and gain viewers before Dick & Dom return in September.

As CiTV have been drilling it in all afternoon (in the majority of junctions), on this Saturday's MoM, Chris Bennoit will be in the ministry, there's great games like Race Ray and Ram Ray and the usual favourites Pet Alien, Atomic Betty and Drake & Josh.

Plus Tim ended today with no really strange voice, just the quote "Everything look different on a friday. And it will do tomorrow!"

It was nice to have a different ending to M.O.M last saturday rather to the usual ending but i hope they dont make a habit of having the performances at the end i still prefer the title song at the end!.I wonder how long they are planning on using the thankyou desk at the end? I hope the gunge tank comes back soon.

I didn't like that ending. It was nice to have a performance near the end, but I didn't like it instead of the song.
I'm not sure if they will ever return the gunge tank.
Surely if they do it should be bigger and badder than ever. I.E. A massive gunge tank behind the metal door, put kids, parents, crew members and guests into it and gunge them at the end!

Hopefully this means they'll have presenters in one way or another.He probably just means the weekend is going to start though.Come on ITV1,its 50 years,CiTV presenters is a great way to celebrate!

Yeah I saw the MoM add, does anybody else have a feeling that Benoit may try out some moves on Stephen? I mean we obviously won't see him get a Cripler Crossface, maybe something 'simple' like a suplex or something.

I missed most of CiTV today so I didn't hear what Tim said at the end, sounds promising though.....

I'm sure that Stone Cold Steve Austin tried out moves on Stephen when he appeared on the ministry last year.

Useless fact of the day: Stone Cold Steve Austin appeared on the Ministry of Mayhem last year, but when he was booked to appear on SM:tv he went down on the Saturday morning but ended up running away from what they were going to do with him.

Back to CiTV, I was thinking that it would mean something, as though he's dropping a hint, but it most probably won't.
Unless they've got special Friday graphics again. If only.... just like back in the autumn of 2003 when Leah & Michael were given loads of time through clever scheduling to do what they wanted.

Me personally, I'd prefer to see more presenters and less programmes, I don't like rugrats, and pet aliens been repeated to death!

I'd much prefer some presenters, swag and a few phone in games and sketches, if only, IF ONLY!!

I think CITV is going to have a new look and are with all the talk of the new hour long lunchtime news and des and mel going back to the afternoon when paul o grady comes back that CITV will start at 3pm or 3.05pm

Which here in the land of channel could be the death of the best show on for kids since smtv Puffins Pla(i)ce with Kevin Pamplin
