Other TV Shows
The Office - Yes, I do get it, it first arrived when fly on the wall documentaries were all the rage. It's just not funny. The American version of The Office was funny, it just seemed to work somehow. And with that, Ricky Gervais isn't funny either.

Little Britain - Once you've seen one episode, everything else is just exactly the same joke recycled and put into a different context. I think it plays on the basis that if you repeat a joke often enough, it gets funny. The Fast Show managed it quite well (even though it took me a while to get into that), but Little Britain just got stale quicker than a loaf of bread in a greenhouse.

Charmed (the Buffy the Vampire Slayer wannabe). My daughter is systematically watching all 8 series on Living TV and on some site on the Internet. The only attraction is that there are 3 nubile girls in it and that doesn't detract from the complete lack of depth to the characters or the crushingly piss-poor story lines and writing.

Big Brother: Why, over the last 10 years, did no one park a car-bomb outside the house? My sister-in-law would watch it, and exhibit an air of excitement bordering on mania, squealing with almost every comment. If I could go back in time and I had a choice of whether I could kill Hitler or the creators of Big Brother... then of course I'd kill Hitler, duh

Any soap operas. They're bleak, repetitive and are about as realistic as a rewrite of Wizard of Oz by an 8 year old on LSD. Especially Eastenders, how all the characters haven't all put razor to wrist or strung themselves up yet is beyond me. Are the writers permanently overdosing on opiates? Emmerdale is like a game of Sims where you find a 'God Mode' cheat just as you're getting sick of playing it. Coronation Street is dull and mundane to the point of distraction.

Any other reality TV with very few exceptions. What happened to proper TV?

Little Britain
At last, I know I'm not the only one. And the jokes weren't even that good first time around.

Proper TV?
Oh, you mean TV which costs proper money to make? They avoid it wherever possible; knocks hell out of the profit margins.

A click
For Charmed. The hubby loves it - I want to smash the TV when it's on - and Big Brother. If I want to watch the dregs of the earth live, I can just look out my window in chav city.

the office...
The Office - about as much fun as a bleach enema!

Killing hitler
would have consequences, the world would miss out on some decent innovations developed during the war and some other bad shit would probably happen. Ending big brother before it had a chance to begin however...
