Alvin Purple

Was on ABC TV here in Australia, if memory serves me right was at 8:30 pm. Had already watched the movie and its sequel "Alvin Rides Again" and as a 15 year old there was no way I was not going to see this.

Didn't last long though, was taken off the air because of complaints from viewers who found it obscene ( wish they had of just change channels, instead of forcing ABC to drop the show ).

I have no problem with nudity on television or in a movie, but I do have a problem with people who think, just because they don't like what they see then they believe I shouldn't watch it either. So much for free choice. Please! If you don't like something, thats fine. I respect your decision, at least respect mine and just grab the remote and change the channel, not my viewing habits.

The first Alvin Purple film was fun to watch.Nothing like it had really been done in an Australian movie before and the things Alvin got up to were fairly amusing.The sequel was of course nothing but a carbon copy of the first.That was enough.But turning it into a sit-com was really milking the cow for all it was worth.The writers just couldn't think of any ways to make the tired concept more interesting and all they could seem to come up with was lame slap stick chases and different places for Alvin to make love to the girls.His room mate is annoying as hell too.
