TV Sucks

hate TV

Remember when TV used to be good? No, neither do I. There was no golden age of TV. It sucks today, it sucked yesterday and it will suck even more tomorrow. We're out of ideas. We have reached the point at which 'The Salon' passes as great TV. Concealed cameras film the goings-on in a salon staffed by dull losers and abrasive self-absorbed celebrity wannabes.

You would think that people would laugh at this ****. The show has no redeeming qualities. I would rather have my eyes torn out over the course of a month than watch one second of this piece of ****.

And yet the show draws high ratings. Not only are people willing to watch the daily 'highlights', but they will even tune in to live footage on the Internet. Do these people not have jobs, or are they all mentally challenged? Get a grip, people. ****. From now on I am boycotting any channel that shows reality TV, and I urge you all to do the same. We have to force these channels to stop making them, or they will keep churning out these embarrassing turds imitating quality TV. Come on! WHO IS WITH ME?

*EDIT

In the interests of honesty, I have to hang my head in shame. I've been brainwashed. My mind has been twisted by the evil forces of ITV. I didn't want to do it. Honestly. I did my best to stay away. But... I've become addicted to 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here'. As with most addictions, it struck when I was at my most vulnerable. I was drunk. I was tired. There was nothing else on TV.

However, there are no excuses. All I can do is apologise from the bottom of my heart and hope that you can forgive me this transgression. Now I'm off to wash my eyes out with soap and read a really thick, dull book in a desperate attempt to rouse the brain cells that went into a coma during the show. I... can... feel... me... get... bigger... dumb. Head... not... wurk... gud. No. Mur.

I watch bid-up if nothing else.
The only 'real' TV channels that I find to watch is UK Gold (sorry, UKTV Flextech Telewest British Sky Television Broadcasting Television Kingdom of the United Gold) or that UK G2 thingy - there's usually some HIGNFY or Room 101 which I'll happily watch.

Though anything else I wanna watch is on DVD.
That is until JANUARY 2005 , of course.

Yes - TV sucks.

Yes it's all tru. Reality TV sucks, if some1 wants fame they shud do it thru talent. It's not fair on people wiv real talent who aren't getting discovered!

We had 24 on Sky One tonight - how can you complain!

I am not a 24 Fan, but I enjoyed tonight's Friends on E4, the whole of the final series so far has been great.

Granted there is a lot of sh*te on TV at the mo, but there are some good programmes too like Harry Hill's TV Burp, possibly the funniest thing on TV at the mo, don't forget 2DTV is back on Sunday, as is Hardware, that isn't great but for an ITV sitcom its not too bad.

And The Salon is ending tomorrow! Though its more reality sh*te from Monday, something called The Fit Farm. Look foward, we're almost at the end of Back To Reality.

Plus there are some other pretty good programmes too like Corrie, Terry and Gaby and ITV News.

I can. I don't have Sky One.

I admit there good programs on TV but reality TV is only created to boots-up low ratings nothing more.

Harry Hill's TV Burp is the best programme on TV at the moment!

Criticism - thats what we need!

Bring back Right to Reply and put Points Of View back to prime time viewing.

If you hate a type of programme don’t watch it, its as simple as that! It really annoys me when people moan about TV these days, its not like you area forced to watch a certain genre of TV, if you don’t like what’s on a channel there’s four others to choose from, or if you have $ky hundreds. TV’s not such a big part of my life that I “hate” it when a programme comes on that I don’t particularly like.

Yes, send your forty squid off to Sky so you can get 400 more piles of crap. Quality, not quantity and all that jazz...

Oh yes, whats so special about that date?

You're not the only one to derive entertainment value from watching Bid-Up - there really is nothing else on TV worth watching these days.
