Are you shocked? Gosh I enjoyed this show... although I will admit I VERY much enjoyed it when Chrissie Swan was on. The most excellent entire 'The Circle' team even won a Logie for their show:
DISAPPOINTED!! I love this show and watch it religiously! The formula was different from the others'... damn BIG shame!!
ReplyDeleteBad, bad, bad decision! Oh my gosh... I love this show and how it differs from the magazine style of the others... aaargh: Ten - you have made a bad call!

Chrissie was awesome, yes... but the amount of heart and love and effort Gorgi and Yumi put into the show was obvious. What are they to do now? No doubt they will find other jobs, but what does Channel 10 hope to achieve with this new line-up? Bad decision... sorry Ten...
ReplyDeleteFG, NSW
Channel Ten!! Whaaaaat are you doing??!!

No, Ten, nooooo!!
ReplyDeleteThe Circle greatly differed in content from the other two morning shows. Even the title of the show was vastly different, and hence, so were the guests, the content, the feel, everything.
Big mistake... and now, filling it with overseas content?

Ah, this is a DAMN shame, truly.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of - and seen snippets of - The Talk, and think it will likely do well. But at what cost... throwing away excellent Australian content? Why?!
Phoebe - BIG Circle fan :(
Yes, agreed folks... very sad news. Wish they'd kept it running. The Circle provided some great conversation and debate, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteGah! Whaaaaat?! Look, I am not your stay at home type [read: I work full time... but damn I wish I was home more often] BUT: when I AM home I always switch onto The Circle. Always had that extra something something. Ten... what are you doing??!!

Sad when Chrissie left... even sadder now. Boooo, Ten!

Seriously! It was the crappest morning show on tv.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand Kyle Gillies but watch The Morning Show because I love Laz. And I used to watch 9AM with David and Kim and was ticked off when that got the axe for the crap that followed.
Yumi was nothing but insulting and Chrissie and Denise annoyed the hell out of me. The only times I ever watched was when certain people were on and all of that time never amounted to a full episode.
I'm glad it's gone but probably won't be watching The Talk either as I can't stand Sharon Osbourne.
