At this stage it’s debatable whether the internet has done more harm than good. One thing it most definitely has done has made it a whole lot easier to answer questions.
The real question here is ‘what kind of programming does the ABC think its audience wants to watch?’. The answer isn’t hard to figure out. They keep on making this kind of show – often with the same cast members – and every time one version fizzles out there’s another one not far behind. WTFAQ indeed.
