ROVE quits TV

by Nathan Taylor

Last night Rove McManus made the shock announcement to the world that his TV show ROVE was ending after ten years... but hang on a sec...The Extra Source predicted this weeks ago! See the link here

While I must admit it is somewhat sad that he is leaving, it is definitely due as his star power has plummeted over the past couple of years and now he can't even crack the 1 million mark in the ratings.

I used to enjoy ROVE from 2000 - 2006, but when he decided to add too many unfunny sidekicks and his jokes got a lot cruder I decided to go the other way and become a real 'Rove Hater'.

Rove provided Australian television with alot of funny moments like What The...? and Flick your Switch but the new direction the show was heading in didn't really excite anyone.

An interesting fact I'd like to mention is:

In 1999 Hey Hey ended and ROVE begun.
In 2009 ROVE ended and Hey Hey begun again.

Expect Rove's next role to be either a stay at home dad (once his wife gets pregnant that is) or co-hosting Sydney's Nova breakfast in 2010 with his mate Peter Helliar and Merrick Watts.

ROVE GONE in 2010!

Well for the majority of it anyways... but just quietly I hope he is off TV for good!

A Melbourne newspaper confirmed the rumour which has been circulating for weeks that the once popular talk show host wouldn't return until late 2010.

It's believed he will concentrate on the 7PM Project which his production company Roving Enterprises produces. However I don't know why he would waste his time with this rubbish- NO ONE EVEN WATCHES IT! Plus there is no way in God's earth it will be back next year.

Over the past year Rove has lost many fans and viewers for his Sunday night show. With most people claiming Rove isn't as funny as he once was and his show has way too many sidekicks on there trying to but in and be funny.

Bloggers on the popular website TV Tonight responded to the news with glee. One blogger said: "I’d be happy if I never see him on TV again!"

While another said: "Please replace rove with Hamish and Andy….please please please Ten."

I must agree Rove has had his day...10 years in fact... and Channel 10 should seriously start looking at Hamish and Andy as a possible option as a replacement.
