That's a moray
Channel 31's Fishcam, that great Melbourne institution, has been cancelled.
Channel 31's Fishcam, that great Melbourne institution, has been cancelled.
If anybody didn't catch it, the show merely consisted of a camera placed in front of a fishtank and was used as overnight filler when regular programming ended for the day. It ran for over a decade and gathered a sort of cult status.
The quote being run in today's press is from station manager Greg Dee: “The station felt that after 13 years the show had started to flounder”
They must have had a whale of a time coming up with that one, they would have been falling all over the plaice. I can see how they've been angling to have the show axed. I say station management have lost their sole.
A show in that much trouble could only be saved by an act of cod.

Harpo, you realise that this post will probably result in INC imploding with pun overload. I hope he comes through it okay.
M — static is nobody's friend. Fight the power. Or at least turn the power off at the wall.
Meva — I am well aware of the dangerous ground upon which I am treading. As we all know he has been a little quiet lately, I suspect he has been off listening to his Beastie Boys collection: Licensed To Eel, Gill Communication, Hello Tasty

*Wonders how Meva knew this would happen*
*feels incredibly happy just to get mentioned on this blog, in any context*

I think m meant to say "re-plaice".
License to eel. Snort!
Do you think Greg Dee knew what he was saying, or was that just a really unfortunate (tidal?) confluence of language and imagery?

Thank you!! Finally somebody said something grateful about my incessant punnage! That's all I'm after. “Licensed to eel. Snort!“ Yep, I was quite pleased with that one.
M had her chance and I think she missed it. If we give her a second go what will she come up with? (yes, that's Harpo issuing a challenge. Bring on your game, missy)
I'm pretty sure Mr Dee knew what he was doing. Surely even station managers have senses of humour.
