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.

Love Amazing Race

Yes amazing race is the one reality show I also tolerate. They go to some amazing places. Does anyone watch choir of hard knocks? What do we think of that one? Or how about the shows in the UK and the US that launch reality TV stars into big broadway shows. Grease You're The One That I Want....hmmmm I don't like the concept. ______________________________________________________________ Currently working on: "Boy Banned" a fusion of live acting, video footage, corny songs, syncronised dancing boys and egos!
