Harry Hill's TV Burp

The show presents a satirical look at the previous week's television, including extracts from TV shows with added sketches, observational voice-overs, and guest appearances.

The show was based on the original British award-winning TV series Harry Hill's TV Burp.[1] The first season finished on Thursday 10 September 2009, with Seven hoping to bring it back some time in the near future, though the second series did not air in 2010.[2]

Format

The show makes fun of TV shows from all Australian television networks, Ed Kavalee would introduce the show and attempt to make fun of the lines that are said on the TV show, or they'll even try to mock the acting on the said TV show. Generally, the TV shows which are mocked are either reality, drama or game shows, such as Home and Away and MasterChef Australia.
