Information AboutAustralia's Naughtiest Home Videos |
''Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos'' was an Australia n Television Comedy series which gained notoriety when it was cancelled ''during'' its only broadcast on September 4 , 1992 . The series was a Spin-off of '' Australia's Funniest Home Video Show ''. Hosted by Doug Mulray , ''Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos'' depicted videos of sexual situations and other sexually explicit content. After being informed by friends at a dinner, Kerry Packer , owner of the broadcaster Nine Network tuned in to watch the show on TCN-9 and was so offended by its content that he phoned the studio operators and ordered them to ''"Get that shit off the air!"'' The studio operators complied, and the show immediately pulled the plug and went to a black screen saying the network had "technical difficulties" (in Melbourne, the show went to a commercial and never came back), with two Rerun s of '' Cheers '' filling the show's remaining air time. Due to other programming obligations, some states aired the show earlier, and thus received the entire show. In most states, however, the last clip reported seen on the show before it got pulled was of a child reaching for a kangaroo's genitals. The show ran for just 34 minutes of a 90-minute premiere (minus the advertisements, an effective 24 minutes of the show was aired). A video was later released over peer to peer services of these 24 minutes, reportedly from an old VHS recording made when the show aired. SEE ALSO
