Australian Tumbleweeds 2011 – Winner – Most Deservedly Axed or Shunted-Round-The-Schedules Program

Australian Tumbleweeds 2011 - Winner - Most Deservedly Axed or Shunted-Round-The-Schedules Program: Live From Planet Earth (9) - 50.70%. Runners-Up: Good News World (10) - 37.30%, Hungry Beast (ABC) - 11.90%. Voter Quotes: "While I couldn't stand to watch a comedy legend like Ben Elton be crucified by critics and social media alike, I did think that his stubborn refusal to ditch the unpopular 'Girl Flat' was slightly despotic. A live show should be tweaked and adapted to fit the mood of the public, but instead all Twitter users were labelled morons, and the material-that-just-didn't-work kept getting a run. In this case, the axe was right to fall. But, I say so bitterly. I'm still shocked and saddened by this hero's fall." "Watched all 3 episodes out of sheer bloody-mindedness and the eternal hope it would get better." "A mercy killing, consisting of ten thousand online stabbings." Last Year's Winner: Hey Hey It's Saturday (9).
