[Closed] TV. Is it as poor as it has ever been?

[i]CBeebies is proving a good babysitter for my 3 year old[/i]
It would appear that parenting skills are similarly poor... 😉

I reckon the two screaming [i]hard men[/i] getting mauled by the plooice dog on [i]Traffic Cops[/i] must be worth a fair proportion of the licence fee.

Sorry, what's "council TV"?

Council TV=Not Sky.
In reply Crikey. I meant to say it's the wife who says that about CBeebies when I get back from a hard day at work. I wouldn't dream of letting him watch tv.( Tongue planted firmly in cheek)

Its making me go out on my road bike more because there is nowt on

Council TV seems a poor description to me as virtually every Council house has a Sky dish attached to it. 😕

TV has always been poor, just now there are lots of freeview channels and the rubbish is spread out so widely.

How can you say t.v is poor, THE BLOODY SOAP AWARDS ARE ON NOW.
My congrats to all the winners.

Bbc 4 has good stuff and maybe 2 but the rest of it is toilet.

Silent Witness and Lip Service make the licence worth it between them for me.

Mind you, I don't actually own a TV so I only ever watch things on I player these days.

STW is more entertaining than anything on telly! Which doesn't say much for the telly does it?

Council TV=Not Sky

council TV IS Sky

You didn't watch any of the recent Attenborough outings then, or the space stuff with Brian Cox?

TV's never been better.

I have been watching the Parkinson interviews on BBC4. He was talking to intelligent people who weren't selling the next tv programme or film they were in.
Compare that to the Ross or Norton offerings.

Yeap most tv programmes are rubbish really.

But I like to watch Family Guy and American Dad ... 😀

Also WTF is that Homeland shite ... now we get the Killing shite ... all of them are rather similar to the Lost shite.

surely sky is the definition of council tv?

im quite enjoying homeland (just watched episode 3)

the bridge is shaping up to be excellent on bbc4

but on tv tonight is
5usa has justified and sons of anarchy at the moment
parkinson interviews on
south park is on viva family guy and american dad on bbc3 later
and nitro circus on viva at 11!!! ok maybe thats a bit chav tv

channel 4 just finished about the Shard a new building in london, how they built it.

Theres not a lot anygood on otherwise.

soaps, wanabe famous type kids, football, cricket, more football, no cycling,and talkie chatty shows, with boring people.

Nowif this forum did tv programes, then they would be worth watching.

We could do Embarrasing Bodies,

The Office,

Todmorden street, instead of Coronation St,

Blue Peter, where forumites make stuff,

Consumer programes,

The Gadget Show,

Waterloo Road, for the teachers,

Casulty for the Dr,s and Paramedics,

Question Time,

One Foot in The Grave, featuring a miserable old man, plenty of choice there for the star,

Britains got Talent,

Loose Women,

Neighbours, problem ones,

Home and go-away,

The Politics Show,

any more.

I got so sick of flicking through the channels and watching the least shitty thing on TV i got rid of the damn thing...about 5 years ago. Don't miss it a bit.

Yup, even the news is boring these days.........same old, same old.

And don't get me started on the weather.

Family Guy is the only thing worth making an effort for imo.

looking at the offering in Oz you are damm lucky to have the BBC, most of the best stuff is BBC out here or American. The ABC is good but not on the scale of the BBC

Keep moaning but occasionally have a look at sky/fox etc to see the alternative.

Sherlock was worth the fee though...

Yeap most tv programmes are rubbish really.

But I like to watch Family Guy and American Dad ...

Also WTF is that Homeland shite ... now we get the Killing shite ... all of them are rather similar to the Lost shite.

Bbc 4 has good stuff and maybe 2 but the rest of it is toilet.

Yep. BBC Four has some great stuff on imo. It redeems the BBC for me. Just. In short bursts anyway. The rest is mostly crap, but it always has been.
