The Ronnie Johns Half Hour is now reaching their second season. With
a brilliant first season behind them, much is expected from their new
material which is to be seen Thursday nights. However, they have a new
time slot (9:00pm) which brings certain factors into play. Most of
their skits are full of language which is deemed inapporite for
younger viewers, this means that their new time slot will restrict the
amount of 'swearing' and 'foul language' that is allowed to be shown.
Does this effect the quality of humor in their skits ?
The Ronnie Johns Half Hours is most famous for their 'Chopper' acts,
which are indeed hilarious but due to the new time slot, have to be
edited for legal reasons. Following the regulations that the 9pm time
slot bring, they may only use the "F-word" 15 times during the length
of the show. Any Ronnie Johns fan knows that every "F-word" chopper
blurts out, is another reason to burst out with laughter. Will the
restriction on the language shown in the new chopper skits be as good
as the previous series ?
The first series had a 10:30 pm time slot which allowed the skits to
have virtually no limits. For obvious reasons, the new time slot will
attract more viewers to the show. Ronnie Johns is one of the funniest,
if not the funniest Australian comedy shows to hit air, and it would
sad to see the humor in their skits lessen due to a restriction on the
content of their material. I honestly think the new time slot will
deeply effect the humor in the chopper skits, but since seeing the
latest Ronnie Johns episodes the other skits are getting better. Lead
writer 'Heath' from the Ronnie Johns cast posts on the official Ronnie
Johns forums that he thinks the writing in series two is a lot better
then the first series. Many of the fans that also post on the official
forums agree that the new series is better than the last, but are
finding the new chopper skits to be dull.
