A Current Affair

A current affair is one of those shows with anything but 'current affairs' Unless of course you care about that person that got ripped off by their insurance company because they didn't read the small print or you're actually interested in the stories that a current affair uses to make sure you watch their channels and not the other channels shows. If you were to combine the entire crew of A Current Affair's common sense and logic, you would have less common sense than what your average garden gnome does. Information about the war? Politics? Crime? Well there is crime on the show, but only if its your unruly neighbourhood teenagers causing all the trouble. Murder? Rape? No way! Not on a current affair.

Oh and I so loved the story about the latest sunglasses in style. That story certainly was a 'current affair'

"ACA" is one of Australia's great comedies.

Where else can you tune in and get a daily dose of dodgy fridge repairmen, housos destroying housing commission property, white trash spewing vile hatred at each other, ads for the latest fad diet, celebrity suck-up pieces (usually when the celebrity is promoting their new album / film / perfume / whatever) and Brady Halls chasing yet another clueless crim (who are so stupid / broke they can't even get their faces pixelated) down the street while asking questions over-dubbed in the edit suite.

Tracy Grimshaw gets a special mention for reading this s h i t off the auto-cue while looking genuinely concerned and without out cracking up in laughter.

They have picked at the marginalized in our society and when SBS produced the excellent "Struggle Street" doco, they couldn't believe it wouldn't be an ACA hatchet job (which it wasn't). Yes, they have picked at the scab of racism and every other "ism" for that matter; and yes, some people believe them in a literal sense (?) If you have time, switch over to ACA to see what the housos are up to and who Brady Halls is chasing down the street tonight... I guess it's a bit like a traffic accident.. you know you shouldn't look but you can't turn away...

A Current Affair was a typical clone of all of the Current affairs shows in Australia. Stories were frequently the same with a few different details. This nightly current affairs show was made of dodgy businessmen, miracule drugs, battlers who are being picked on by the authorities and anything that gives them a chance to show some gratuitious nudity or senseless violence. The only thing worth tuning in for was the weekly segments made by John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. Highly satrical mock interviews, characteristic of John Clarke's style make ACA worth watching (or atleast tuning in for the last 5 minutes).

Absolute trash and drivel. When you watch this you can literally feel your IQ dropping.

Dumb and Dumber was not just a movie. I remember a notorious 'investigator' ? What a bully that man was. If I could name him without risk I would. Then I recall a Media Watch episode where they had discovered that ACA had broadcast more stories about women's bras than any other topic, including the old standards such as dodgy builders, dole bludgers and fighting neighbours, in an entire year. But some good came from this utter garbage and that was the sublime and all so accurate Frontline - now there was an awesome show created by talented and intelligent people. IMB has ACA's approval rating of 2.1 out of ten. So, there is hope for mankind although one wonders who were watching to get a score at all. But two people left 10/10 as a joke. Please don't do this as then the true score 1/10 would be attributed to this shameful garbage of a program and often a harmful one as well. How people can associate themselves with such vile content is beyond comprehension. This show should have been dead and buried decades ago. Those who have worked on this production since the days after Jana Wendt left should hold their heads in shame. They have no regard for decency at all. Zilch!

What a sad situation this dire rubbish is still on air - yes, a current tragic affair.

The most appalling and disgusting faux 'News Affairs' program ever.
