TVTV was an Australian television series that reported and commented on television.[1] It was broadcast by the ABC from 1993 to 1994.
Originally launched in March 1993 it was hosted by Simon Townsend with a panel of reviewers composed of Sueyan Cox, James Valentine, John Hanrahan, Julia Gardiner and Edith Bliss.[2] Townsend stepped down as host in June.[3] James Valentine became the host[4] and was joined as cohost by Caroline Baum.[5] In 94 the show stopped for a period and production moved from Sydney to Melbourne. The show was revamped with Mark Mitchell and Tiffany Lamb as hosts, returning to air in August.[6]
The Age's Ross Warneke, commenting on early episodes, called it a turkey writing "Its giggly, monosyllabic approach to TV news and reviews is down-market and intellectually offensive."[2]
