Margaret Pomeranz has launched a scathing attack on Channel Nine game show Tipping Point.
The veteran presenter, 79, recently appeared on ABC comedy show The Weekly with Charlie Pickering and criticized the Todd Woodbridge-hosted series.
“A show dares to elevate the genre, tempting fate and fortune amid the spectacle of a larger than life arcade game,” Margaret began.
Tipping Point is a quiz show where contestants answer general knowledge questions to earn points that can then be used to earn “counters” by knocking down plates on an oversized arcade machine.
Pomeranz continued to criticize the show for being lowest common denominator entertainment.
Presented by Todd Woodbridge, seventh place winner of the sixth series of Dancing With The Stars, it features a giant Pachinko machine,” he continued.

Margaret continued to criticize the ease of the questions, stating that a seven-year-old would know the answer.
“The hardest part was training the mule to kick the contestants in the head before the show,” he said.
Summing up the show, he added: “Todd Woodbridge presents a case study of madness as he is convinced he can communicate with the machine. Someone get me some paint thinner. I’m glued to the seat.
