Looks as though Channel Ten has brought rights to The Late Show with David Letterman. Probably a show that's not the most popular of all possible purchases, though, they are showing it significantly earlier than Channel Nine ever did, which shows belief in it by the Ten administration, and after watching last night's episode, I happen to concur with this thought, and think it's a show that could pass for a 10:30 - 11:00 p.m. spot, with the right advertising of course.

The only problem with the show is, that, after all, it's the generic American talk-show, a genre that doesn't fill Australian T.V. at the present. And then, of course, the humour in the jokes emanates from American culture, which can at times be drastically different from ours. So with this in mind, unless there are more people like me who have their hands stuck to the keyboard and can actually get in touch with the American culture, and let's face it, a very small portion of the audience is like that, I shan't expect to see the show much earlier any time soon.
