MY LIFE IS UP SIDE DOWN FOR THE NEXT TEN WEEKS

[Huge_Vitae]

Am I the only person never to have seen Big Brother - not even a 20 secnd clip.

 

Please explain how a load of exhibitionist wannabes in need of a life constitutes 'good' television.

 

I'll give you a subtle hint...it probably doesn't but never having seen it, I can't be certain.

I made the mistake of walking in the lounge when daughter was home with some friends, I saw some 'freak' who looked like his lips had been surgically altered by somebody better qualified to be a bricklayer.

 

The 'thing' of indeterminate gender/species/genus was an insult to Creationists and Evolutionists alike.

 

I made a 'couple of observations' and was 'asked to leave the room, which I was glad to say I did so with pleasure.

 

So Alan, not quite at your standard but perhaps the next stage.

I'd put my foot through the TV if it was ever watched in this house.

 

Big Brother, and all of its kind, represents nothing more than the pus currently weeping from the festering sore of 'reality' TV.

 

Shame on the producers and more so on the tragic creatures that watch and perpetuate it. Seriously, if you regard this as worthy of your precious leisure time, you really do need to take a long, hard look at yourself.

 

Better still, have some pride and self-worth. We deserve better than this...don't we?

Big Brother forms an invaluable service by highlighting life's chavs, cretins and dullards. If you find out that somebody watches it, you can save yourself countless hours of tedium by never speaking to them again.

 

Yeh, like wah ee said. init ?

[Elton]

Innit.

It's not going to be as bad as you think....

 

I work in TV and Channel 4 will not be doing the 24 hour live feed on Channel 4 or even E4. This is mainly because of last years viewing figures being awful.

 

Ever since the racism debacle (remember "Shilpa Popadom"?) C4 were paranoid about what people said so most of the dialogue was muted and the viewers sat there watch but not hearing for half the time.

 

Strangely enough it put off a lot of viewers and they have realised more people will watch repeats of Smallville than a load of post pubescent idiots sleeping or fighting.

 

Having said that they'll still have highlights in peak time every night and follow up shows on E4. But at least it won't be 24/7.

It seems to be my 19 yr old daughter's sole topic of conversation when it's on - which is a good reason for not watching! It gives her something to talk to her old man about!

[Peter Sharpe]

Is it too late to swap her for another one?

[chesters1]

looks like the usual bunch of no hoper actors ,pity the media encourages them by featuring their pathetic shallow lives till now or worse anyone theve ever slept with's stories

On the plus side, it's very handy if you're in the market for a new lady.

Any hint of interest in BB and any prospect of a long term relationship can be rulled out.

like atry befor you buy i like it

 

I'd put my foot through the TV if it was ever watched in this house.

thats what i like to see a man putting his foot down(or thru?)

Does your television have a "parental guidance" facility to block certain channels, so that they can only be watched if you have the password?
