Talk:Thank God You're Here

Tom Gleisner
I saw an interview by him on channel 10 when the program started, i am sure he said that he was the "Creator" of the program "the idea man" it came from him and him well, nearly him alone. I love Tom Gleisner but i am now confused as now seeing it come to NBC etc. Now has working dog productions sold the right to this show or have just got this all up side down. That this was not his original idea after all. Tom?? Can anyone help.?????

Episode overviews
Maybe it would be better if they were compacted to not have the names twice, for example instead of

Guest stars:
 * Fifi Box - Triple M Radio Host

and Scenarios:
 * Fifi Box, with a tracksuit, was placed into an infomercial for a fitness product, a la Good Morning Australia

it could just be

 * Current look looks less cluttered than I imagine the suggestion to be. RandomEcho 15:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Separate articles for Current/Old Seasons
Seeing that Season 2 of Thank God You're Here starts on Weds, 6th Sept - I suggest having separate articles for current and previous seasons. --Ninevah 01:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The article isn't 32kb yet (the size at which the "warning, this article should be reduced in size/split into articles" warning comes up when editing. I suggest it should be split only when it becomes unmanagable in its current form. -- Chuq 01:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If then I'd say a little more creative editing in cutting down the words would be sufficient in keeping it all on the one article page. RandomEcho 01:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC).

Eventually it's going to come ot the point where it will have to be split up. Chances are it will be sometime during this season. I like the idea of it being seperated when it reaches 32KB. Possibly include a template for the show when it does occur. Normy  132  09:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I have just edited the article with extra sub-headings so it is in the form of ==Season== ===Season Information=== ====Episode #====. When it reaches warning stage, then we should have a Main article (this one) and separate articles for the different seasons of TGYH. Lakeyboy 09:04, 6 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm in favour of splitting it now. Have one article for general encyclopaedic information about the show, and one article for the episode lists/mini-summaries. Sulvo 11:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree fully, the article looks like a disgusting mess at the moment, it is too long physically and there is information that isn't so much about TGHY, but instead about the episodes of TGYH. Especially now that it is become a syndicated show with versions being produced in 11 countries (to date), the main article should be about origins, outline, history and direction.  If you look at most articles about tv shows, they have a separate article for episode lists.  BradK 12:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I say go the split soon enough. So at least perhaps in their separate seasons the people who keep changing the stats of Season 1 to include 2 will pause a little. Even though they'll still adjust it for an accumulative appearance/score. RandomEcho 08:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I recommend having a separate article called Thank God You're Here episode guide as well.  R o  gerthat  Talk  10:26, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. Feel free to further tidy if required. --Ninevah 23:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I gave it a proper name to match Wikipedia guidelines: List of Thank God You're Here episodes --Wafulz 02:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Was the article over 32kb though? ~  E meZ  x  X  ` 12:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Twas getting to be more about the episodes themselves than for the whole general info about the show itself. Now that it's been shopped around the world, the break is more logical as you have a section with just the eps and one with just the guts.RandomEcho 14:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Splitting article
I think it would be a good idea to split this article into country-specific versions like they've done for Deal or No Deal (especially with the US version coming soon). This page would talk about the format and international versions (see table below for example).

Information related to the Australian version (hosts, episodes, broadcast history, etc) could be shifted to Thank God You're Here (Australia) or something similar. --Tntnnbltn 02:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think you need to find more information on the other versions before you split it yet. --Ninevah 02:54, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Why would we need more information. All of the information about the Danish/Dutch/German/Russian versions that is already in the article is preserved in the table. We can leave the links to those programs as redlinks. There's enough information for an Australian version, as that's what this article is primarily about. And when the US version is broadcast, it'll be easier for the article on the US version to start of separate than having to split them later. --Tntnnbltn 07:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

No season 3
While it is coming back on, it won't be the third season - they're re-runs. So if the only 'proof' of a third season is the official website, then there is no actual proof... if that makes sense. --60.228.167.87 23:26, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe S3 comes back in june. But that's not what this page is for -- bdud e Talk  09:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It is stated on the official website that season three will air this year and I have signed up for the Channel Ten e-mail sendout to say when Season 3 will begin airing. As soon as I receive that e-mail, I will post the series return date up here. --Lakeyboy 10:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Article name
I'm confused about what the name of the article is supposed to be. I thought it was fair enough that the name was changed to Thank God You're Here (Australian TV show) because of the introduction of the US version, but now it has been reverted back because of the naming conventions. What is this supposed to mean, and why was it reverted? Swanny92 04:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * A disambiguation page is to be used when there are three or more topics to list (none of which is the title's primary meaning). A two-article disambiguation page usually is counterproductive, especially when the two topics are closely related.  Such a setup guarantees that anyone who visits the Thank God You're Here page will have to follow a link to the desired article.  By having this article here instead, a large percentage of visitors will immediately arrive at the correct article.  Because we include a link at the top, someone seeking the article about the U.S. version still need only follow a single link to get there, and he/she might even want to read this article (which also includes information pertaining to the general format) first.  —David Levy 05:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

New Season
Is airing currently, the one that the article says "will not be airing in 2008" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.35.238 (talk) 09:33, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a repeat, Working Dog are done with this show. --Closedmouth (talk) 09:36, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * There's going to be a fourth season in 2009, but on the Seven network not Ten.

Plagiarism?
The premise and much of the content of this TV series bears an uncanny resemblance to Christopher Durang's short play "The Actor's Nightmare", in which one George Spelvin wanders the stage, not knowing quite where he is, to find himself expected to play many parts by a series of exotic and eccentric actors. This seems very close to the premise of "Thank God You're Here", to say the least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.5.68 (talk) 12:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC) --Billy Nudgell (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Torrent
Does anyone know where I can find a torrent for the first (and only) series? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.35.36 (talk) 05:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
