Jamming it up on Nine

In between the tacky intro and the overuse of the 'jam' metaphor (see above), channel 9's Money for Jam (8pm Wednesday) does have a few bits of advice. Sure there's a whole lot of advertising, animation, unnecessary cut-shots and network promotion but what else can you expect from a commercial program?

It does look great though - the graphics are bright, music is up-beat, editing is tight and there's all those friendly channel 9 characters - quick question; is Scott Cam one of the most endearing Australian tv personalities of all time, or have you just dialed triple 0 to have me commited?

Back to the point, I would assume it does ok in the ratings - the "Aussie Battler" does love a good money-saving scheme after all. Just thank Christ it's not on channel 7 or we'd be listening to more self-congratulatory advice from that unholiest of unholies, David Koch.
