Forget the title, this is a kids' show you need to watch
Because 6am is far too early to be woken up by a four-year-old for just about anything, let alone watching a TV show.
I'd recommend parents keep quiet about Do Not Watch This Show until it's available on ABC's view, where it can be watched at a more reasonable hour.
If you're unfortunate enough to have a retro kid who likes to watch shows when they air on TV rather than stream them, well it's not all bad.
For Do Not Watch This Show is good. Really, really good. It's a spin-off of Andy Lee's Do Not Open This Book.
While they're obviously for little tackers, I enjoyed the TV show so much that part of me thought that maybe I should read the books.
Not that I actually will do that - it would be a tad embarrassing. But that's how enjoyable this show is.
The simple synopsis is that it features a character named Wizz (voiced by Lee) who is stuck in a TV show that he doesn't want you to watch.
He then goes to quite some effort to get you to turn off. But you won't be able to, because it's really, really good.
It's always a source of amazement that this Gordon Ramsay show manages to find restaurant owners willing to appear on it.
Yes, they do generally get a free upgrade of the dining area and a bit of business advice, but it does come at a cost of being shown on TV as a complete doofus who has no idea what they're doing.
And who probably has a dirty kitchen full of rotting food.
Surely it's enough to scare away any potential customers, even after that upgrade. Yet the US version is up to season nine, on the back of five seasons of the UK version.
In this episode the focal point is the extremely odd co-owner Bonnie. She has big staring eyes, weird mouth pouts and odd facial movements. All of which made me wonder if she on something - if you know what I mean.
This show set in Alice Springs is one of the most enjoyable things you'll watch this week.
The one-hour screening is made up of six shorter pieces that follow the exploits of Robbie and his friends Georgie Blue and Big Johnny in the lead-up to Christmas.
It's a bit rude, a bit sweary and plays on the stereotypes of people who live in a place like Alice Springs. But it's also very funny.
It's produced by the pair responsible for the popular series Bluey, which should give you some idea of the quality we're talking about here.
Look at that air time - 6am? Parents better make sure their little kids aren't savvy enough to read a TV guide and discover this is on.

4 July 2025 ABC journalist Eva Blandis was named Best Young Journalist, Bill Ormonde was named Best Rural/Regional Journalist and the ABC won eight awards overall at the 2025 South Australian Media Awards in Adelaide last night. Blandis received the Max Fatchen Award for Best Young Journalist for reporters aged 25 or under whose work displays creativity, research, technical skills, newsworthiness, writing flair and impact. The judges said: 'Eva's entry displayed the work of a journalist, mastering their craft, well beyond her years. 'The ability to gain trust of contacts, secure exclusive content, and give in depth analysis of highly complex and sensitive issues, required a mature approach, usually associated with experienced reporters.' ABC video journalist Bill Ormonde was named Best Rural/Regional Journalist for his body of work and also won Visual Storytelling for Out of the Darkness, an interactive online story exploring mental health in remote Australia. The judges said: "Bill's entry epitomises what a rural journalist should strive to achieve. "Shining a light on the mental health stigma, that burdens regional Australia, is vital. This body of work is a fine example of gaining trust, to tell brave and personal stories, respectfully. Coupled with stunning imagery, this makes for a captivating and compelling entry."

Bravo to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. It was vulgar but they did their wedding right
The last thing I did before running out the door for my second wedding was stick on the veil from my first. From when I was half my age, 24, not 48. From when I was saying 'I do' in a country church instead of 'I'm all in, but fingers crossed' in a city town hall. Of course, I'd debated the appropriateness and chicness of a mum of three sporting a foofy tulle thing. And whether it was a bad look to front up to my new husband in something the first one had swept off my face at the altar. But my second husband was a wedding virgin, and I was hell-bent on giving him the Full McCoy experience – not some toned-down affair because his missus was a re-tread. It was captain's choice. Had he wanted roving troubadours and clog dancing, it would've been a hard yes. What he decided on was the bride in white (for renewal, in case you ask – a fabulous Carla Zampatti), and to dance to Powderfinger's Burn Your Name. Done! I only felt a tiny bit mutton dressed as lamb, and also figured this would be the last time I'd be a bride, so I could push the boat out. And at my age, it felt like one of the few remaining big life festivities I'd get – funeral aside. So why not rock it? Loading Which is why I've abstained this week from dissing Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' ridiculous Venice wedding. Putting aside that he's one of the richest men in the world yet barely pays tax, why shouldn't someone throw an ultra-decadent party for their second marriage? Who says second weddings have to be quietly dignified affairs? The way people have carried on (Charlize Theron: 'They suck'), you'd think Bezos and Sanchez had cancelled Christmas. Yes, it was wildly extravagant: Dolce & Gabbana couture, boats, entire five-star hotels commandeered. Three days of celebrations, not including Sanchez's hen's do in Paris or the foam party held on Bezos's yacht moored off the coast of Croatia.
