Annoyed with TV

Just wanted to moan about something. TV Scheduling. I am sick of it being abused by the Free-to-air stations. Shows getting knocked about, certain shows going into triple overtime, pushing back the shows you really want to watch.

I have a big problem with Big Brother. Why dedicate so much time to a concept which should have died before the first ep aired in Australia. I thought we (as Aussies) were a bit smarter than that.

As you might tell, I am no fan of BB, and even less of a fan of the regular late running shows, last minute timetable changes and regular rescheduling that seems to be the standard mode of operation for TV Today.

Last night, my wife and I had to wait nearly 1/2 an hour for a show just because another show had preferential treatment and was allowed to go well overtime. It is simply not good enough.

I thank you for you time in reading this small rant. For more ;-) use the Yahoo 360 link to my personal blog.

secret life

I found the best tv show ever aired in my opinion was the aussie drama the secret life of us, I absolutely love that show. Ive bought all the series's and whenever I want to relax i ALWAYS turn to that show, i watch it instead of normal tv which has turned to crap. It was so realistic and the actors were all up with the best in the field minus maybe abi tucker (miranda) and the girl who played Sam (Will's girlfriend, died series one). That was quality television. Real life drama not corny over the top soppy shit with "Hallelujah" constantly played in the background. I wanna watch tv I can believe and not just reality tv which is merely created to fill a time slot with as little finance as possible. Well there you go. Ive joined the ranting brigade and proud of it. If I could choose any tv show to be cast in it would definately be secret life, that i could definately be proud of.
