I have reviewed many TV shows on this blog including: Top Gear, Doctor Who, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Chaser’s War on Everything, Hustle: The Con is On and Foreign Correspondent but until now you’ve had to actually watch the show live on TV to see if you like it.
Now I’ve collected sample short clips from most of these TV shows for you to view, so if you like the clip you can read my review and watch the show next time it’s on TV.
