What's happening to TV?
Just had a glance at the schedule for tonight and what is there -
A Week of Dressing Dangerously
Bank of Mum and Dad
How Clean Is Your House?
It's Me or the Dog
Supernanny
Endless 'fly on the wall' type 'reality' TV programmes about dirty people, ugly people, feckless kids, useless dog owners, useless parents, ....on and on... WGAF!!
For christ's sake where have all the interesting programmes gone? You know, the ones where you can learn something see people doing interesting things or going to interesting places etc.
All that's left is Rick Stein.... Get rid of all the lefty PC social worker pants and give us back our schedules..

Once again I'll have to dig into the (extensive) archives. What's happening is a worrying trend though. Serious dumbing down going on....
As for that 'Lost' thing.
How bad is that??

All that reality tv crap is scripted anyway. It would be nice to see supernanny fail to tame a kid, or see those two hygene freaks walk away in disgust, shaking their heads sayin "ffs I can`t clean that!"

If he gets 10 minutes on the naughty step for thinking that about the supernanny, I've just earned myself a full day on the naughty step for what I was thinking about Zoe Salmon

Agree, Discovery is where its at, its a pity Wings isnt on in the day as I am off today and its raining.
Bank of mum and dad is quite good, it may stop some muppets getting into debt and how clean is your house has some good tips.

I think I need to watch a bit more Blue Peter
Nice gate
Back on topic, TV is in that transitional period where the summer dross is all coming to a close and the autumn stuff hasn't got going yet. I just hope there's gonna be some decent programmes, I'm sick of the repeat/rehashed Grand Designs and it's ages 'til Top Gear's back

My last few frantic evening mountain bike rides are coming to an end so thoughts start to turn to indoor evening entertainment again.

I watched Hotel Rwanda last night rather than sit through the tripe on TV.
