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.

My understanding of the system is that everyone who owns a tv is supposed to have a licence. This fee covers costs for running the BBC to some extent, but what, if anything, else I don't know. I was just discussing it with my mum the other night. Apparently they have started to monitor tv sales, and are tracking people who buy a tele to make sure they have a licence. very big brother, and just a little spooky in my opinion. You buy a tv (privately) and a week later get a letter from some govt dept informing you that you just bought a tele and need a licence... and people keep telling me "It won't happen". bull...t! neville It's the simple things stupid...
