Untrue. There was a teenage drama in the early 1980s titled "Home" that
wasn't too shabby. The ABC season of "Heartbreak High", while not likely to
win any awards, was okay and fairly enjoyable.
I'll even go out on a limb and admit I quite liked "Echo Point". It's
just that we get pulled down by all the "Home And Away" and "Neighbours"
and the like.
The *real* reason Press Gang is so popular here is because it's (a) so
darned good, and (b) repeated every few years.
Cheers!
Grant.
