50 episodes of The 400 Club and 400 Club contributor/audio editor Dan has screwed it up badly.

To explain: The Radio Wolf  Studios has a fairly decent set-up with 3 good quality microphones on stands, a mixing desk, and a Macbook to capture and edit the audio recorded. One would think that after producing the hundreds of podcasts that have been published by The Radio Wolf that Dan would have learned to ensure the button was flicked to ensure that the recording came by way of the complex recording equipment and not from the tiny in-built microphone on the Macbook.

But he didn’t. On episode 50 of all things.

The audio is still mostly listenable, so we’re publishing it. But, Dan isn’t happy about it.

The panel of Dave, Prue, and Dan this week discuss:

• Happy Endings (S02E13, S02E14)
• The Office (S08E15)
• Parks & Recreation (S04E15)
• How I Met Your Mother (S07E17)

This week we have proof! Australians are not only watching more television, but they’re downloading more. And what more? If given legal options for better streaming/downloaded content, we’d be likely to utilise them a whole lot more.

On Televised Revolution this week we discuss:

• The Academy Awards air-times.
• Nielsen release their multi-screen report.
• Data from the Ericsson ConsumerLab indicates that Australians have less access to legal online viewing options and are consequently downloading more illegally.

At Televised Revolution, we look forward to receiving your mail and check us out on the Twitter. You can also find the podcast on iTunes (please leave us a review, it helps people find the show).

We take another week of just Prue and Dan as they discuss some of the TV highlights of the week. Despite both discussing it enthusiastically pre-podcast recording, the two of them forgot to discuss Happy Endings on the actual podcast. Which is a shame as it was a series high-point. But…what do they discuss?

This week we take a look at:

• New Girl – General discussion (primarily about Lizzy Caplan)
• 30 Rock (S06E06/07)
• The Office (S08E14)
• How I Met Your Mother (S07E16)
• Smash (S01E02)

We have a mixed bag of stories to discuss this week. Simon is off on assignment, so Dan and Dennis pick up the slack and discuss:

• Quickflix scores a cash injection.
• TV Central goes down.
• Kerri-Anne Kennerley officially signs with Seven.
• Is the Apple TV on the horizon?

Late in the podcast we briefly discuss comic book TV adaptations. If you’re interested in reading Doctor Who, Star Trek, True Blood, Smallville, or one of the many other shows currently adapted as comic books, I recommend getting along to your local comic shop to see what’s available. In Brisbane, I quite like the staff at Comics Etc. The staff are very friendly and will always go out of their way to help out new customers who don’t quite know what they’re looking for. In other states, might I suggest checking out Kings Comics in Sydney, All Star Comics in Melbourne, and Adelaide Comic Centre in Adelaide. If comic stores are still a bit off-putting, or inconvenient, you might want to check out the digital comics available via Comixology.

The show may be called I Just Want My Pants Back, but as a viewer, Dan is desperate for those 22 minutes back. Dan is joined this week by Prue as they examine The Office, 30 Rock, and I Just Want My Pants Back.

We also examine hospital shows.

The technological revolution may be responsible for the radical shifts in the way that we consume and interact with content, but the fundamental legal principles that protect consumers and content owners alike are still in place. This was put to the test with the Optus TV Now case in which the NRL, AFL, and Telstra sought an injunction to prevent Optus from continuing to provide the service.

This week on Televised Revolution we chat with Peter Black, Senior Lecturer in Law at the Queensland University of Technology, about the case and its implications on time shifting content.

Also up for discussion:

• BTjunkie shuts down for good.
• HBO invests $10 million into streaming service Quickflix.

Launching on SBS1 on Feb 27 at 9:30pm is Danger 5 – a TV show that finally embraces the medium to its fullest potential with its tales of Nazi’s, dinosaurs, and diamond-clad vixens.

For me, this is THE show of 2012. It’s a show that is doing something creative and unique on Australian TV. You will not see another show like this again. Well, probably not. On this episode of Televised Revolution, Dan speaks with the shows creators Dario Russo and David Ashby about the production of the series and how it came about.

With the 2012 TV ratings schedules kicking off this week, we find ourselves in an interesting week in which we see further divesting of shares in FTA television, various executive shuffles, and a report into the very nature of TV schedules themselves. A new survey by Deloitte has found that viewers are still keen to adhere to television schedules as they form habits and ease of program selection. It’s fascinating, if as indicative of viewer behaviours as it may well be.

This week Dan and Simon discuss:

• The Deloitte audience report.
• The passing of some TV greats.
• Lee Anderson returns to Channel 9 Brisbane.
• Fear Factor offers a donkey-based beverage.
• And much, much more.
