Santo, Sam and Ed's Sports Fever! (2012) User Reviews

Almost better than the footy show! (and it's only episode one!)

If you're a fan of a light overview of sport, and love a good dad joke, then SSE Sports Fever is your main vehicle for a night of laughs (not once, but on the box twice a week!). It's like ESPN with laughs... it's the next generation of Roy and Hg... and it delivers something that it's a knockout 'used to'... great sporting entertainment. All three have great humour, and if this show is allowed to breathe then it should be around for many years to come.

Ironically the replay is at a better time than the main show, and like all good sports shows, it's a great watch second time around. It's still to be corrupted by major sponsors which keep it fresh and full of real content, rather than paid ads wrapped as segments.

Love it!

As a sports fan this show had become a must watch. Very disappointed that it has been stopped. Looking forward to its early return. Ed's characters are very funny, Sam's comments are spot on, and Santo holds it all together very well. Better than the other sports shows on TV. Their strength is their knowledge and commentary on the round ball game. There is a casual feel to the show with the guest interviews showing the more natural side of those interviewed. There is also the anything can happen spontaneity of television in front of a live audience. My favourites segments were "Silky Skills", "We watched it so that you didn't have to" and "Bin Night". Watched it online too. Bring it back!!
