I don't know about you, but the idea of "mum knows best" is probably the most none sense concept in the world and I am not stating an opinion here, I am stating a fact.
Why do I say that? Well, the whole concept of "mum knows best" follow the idea that "Your mum is always right and you are always wrong, when you and your mum believe in different thing."
Now lets evaluate this believe with facts, Lets take for example, if a patient has brain tumor, it would naturally require the knowledge of a professional doctor to determine how to remove it, with the highest posibility of having the patient coming back alive and with no permanent damage. But if we let your everyday friendly neighborhood lady that owns the newsagent, who is never a doctor and never been to medical school either, determine how to remove the brain tumor, I think...well...the possibility for the surgery to be a success is, 1 in a million.
Now, if the lady who own the newsagent believe we should remove the brain tumor through method A and the doctor believe we should remove the brain tumor through method B and only one of the two characters are right, who do you think is more likely to be right, the doctor right?
Now, if the lady who owns the newsagent happens to be the doctor's mum, do this mean method A is all in a sudden going to more likely to be right in comparison to method B?
I don't think so.
However, if we turn it around, if the doctor is the mum and the girl who own the newsagent is the daughter. Who is still more likely to be correct, it is still the doctor right?
So conclusion, the concept of "mum knows best" is full of crap.

Ok, here is the question, is it just me or do you also felt TV these days are getting more and more boring.
I remeber there was a time where TV has a lot of shows, which I am interest in, but over the years the shows on TV has more and more become shows i am not interest in or put me asleep or totally make me felt like throwing up.
I always like sitcoms, but Australia TV seems to be airing lesser and lesser sitcoms and those which are still on air are usually reruns of Two and a half man, which despite been a great show, I am seen the exact same epsiode for god know how many times already.
Reality TV usually bord the crap out of me, especially the romantic ones. I know some people love reality TV show that is romantic, but for me it makes me fell asleep on the couch with bordem or throw up, for me just about any form of romantic TV program make me fell asleep, unless it is a comedy.
Channel ten has some variety shows, those are program that doesn't make me fell asleep watching it, but doesn't really draw my attention that much, it is stuff I watch when I really got nothing better to do, only.
Supernature and Charm in my opinion are great show, but we don't air too much episode of Supernature at Australia and Charm has been off air for ages.
South Park, is been played late at night and on digital channel only, Till Death is a sitcome air on channel 9 but it is also air 11;30 pm, I want to go to bed by then.
In my opinion commercial channels, has a fear of trying shows from none english speaking countries that in my opinion is stupid, because some of them would actually work quiet well in this country and commercial channel in this country very rarely air a program from a none engish speaking country.
So, is it just me or do you also find the TV program in this country getting more and more boring?
(Oh by the way, this is an opinion piece so it is my opinion only, please do not take it as facts.)
Ok, this is an opinion piece only, please do not take it as a fact.
But in my opinion the world's strictest parents is a stupid show. The reason I say so, because it is a partly representation of a society, not an full accurate representation. The show always have a function, a rebelious and bad child who is problematic in nature and their parents don't know what to do about it so send them to another strict family to be decipline.
Now here is the problem, when a child refuse to do something their parents forbid, is the thing their parents forbid them to do always bad?
If it is a situation where the child is getting into fights and taking drugs and the parents are forbidding them from doing it, then the child is doing something bad and the parents are trying to forbid them from doing something bad.
But what if the situation is one where the child is going to university using her own money and getting a job and the parent forbid it, due to e.g. wanting the child to married some guy who takes drugs, get into fights bash, people want, because he has rich parents?
When a child refuse to do what their parents want them to do, is what their parents want the child to do always good? If the parents want the child to finish high school, then in most circumstances it is good. However, if the parents want the child to go into prostitution (Real story) is the child rebellious behavior really problematic.
This is why I say programs like the world's stricest parents are stupid, because they only represent situation where the problem is with the children, but never represent situation where the problem is with the parents or when both parents and children have problems.
The reason for channel 7 to present show like such according to some experts' believe is because the main target audience of the channel is target at the baby boomer generation, as they take up the majority of the population, where gerenation X and gen Y are much lesser in number. It is a marketing thing, as they want to allow their show to have the widest audience appeal as possible.
Out of three commercial channel in Australia only channel ten target their main audience towards a younger audience, where channel 7 and 9 target toward audience in their forties and fifties.
