Just seems the crap is getting worse and worse on tv. In a bid to rival Channel 10 'in aus' Master Chef, they've created a show called conviction kitchen which puts ex cons against one another to see who can make a new life for themselves. Since when was this entertaining tv? Shit like the biggest loser, who evers the biggest dead shits got talent etc is ruining tv. It caters for the lower end of the socio economic climate and destroy any half decent shows to come through. meanwhile in 5 years time they get sick of it, numbers drop and we have to find another bunch of mindless dribble to watch.
television turning to shit?

Sky adds ... Sorry ... Digital
The only television I am watching atm (not including sport) is Modern Family and Seinfeld. Win is the worst, episode after episode of Two and a half men and Big Bang Theory.
Thank god for Redcafe and computer games or I might actually have to take up an active hobby.

At first I though Eye Popper got a TV deal.
T.V's always been 90% shit.
Probably need to preface this by saying you're an Aussie Marchi. And that you're not including cable TV, which is awesome. But as far as FTA in Australia is concerned, it can go and get fecked.
I refuse to watch anything bar SBS and sometimes ABC, or a select movie or two. It is so so so pathetically shit, and has been for several years now... And what is more annoying than the farqingly rubbish shows that are aired, is the khunt-farqingly rubbish ads they use to promote them, with their intense opera/classical music and faggot pretend intense voices... 'the MUST see episode,' 'the worst criminal everrrrrr.'
Once I remember they advertised the NCIS episode with 'the most evil man everrrrrr,' and I though to myself, right, I will put aside the fact I absolutely hate this show and the fact it will probably want to inject meth straight into my eyes with an aids infected syringe... So anyway, I wanted to see what this most evil man ever did... And I kid you not all he was was a small time arms dealer, and accidentally killed one person. I kid you not. Step aside motherfecking Franco, eat some dicks Hitler, stub your toe Stalin... This faggot right here was the most evil man everrrrr. The ad told me so.

Newstopia was a brilliant program...
Newstopia was/is brilliant, it's in my top few of all time.
I am digging tv about hoarding, another one called My Strange Addiction, Supersize vs. Superskinny and as always A&Es Intervention. I especially enjoy the shows about fattys.
I just wish someone in Canada would pick up reruns of The Bill or whatever it's called..

Piers Morgan has his own bloody show on CNN. I mean who in the fecking hell wants to see his show?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just stick to the 5% sports and 5% actually good shows and you'll be fine.
Yeah there's still some great shows hidden in there.
Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Spartacus, Modern Family, True Blood...
Go back 10 years, were there honestly much more TV shows of that standard around?

"Conviction Kitchen" sounds a lot like Alan Partridge's idea for "Cooking in Prison":
The internet killed Television.
Serves them right for killing radio.
I've watched a couple of them - he is actually pretty good, despite the fact he is trying to sell himself at the same time.
The thing is, if I see an ad for a show that I do watch I actually change the channel. The ad's give so much away of what happens that it's ridiculous, so I go out of my way to not watch them. Same with the 'This is what'll happen next week' rubbish that they put at the end of a show to try to get you to watch that episode. If anything it's worse, it gives so much away it almost feels pointless tuning in for that episode because you've already seen the most interesting things, and 9 times out of 10 you can easily figure out how it'll finish.

Nessie seems more likely than that sequence of events, yet here we are.
So much of that has come to pass it's almost as though that was actually a serious source of inspiration for TV execs. Just Monkey Tennis to go and that'll be the lot.
I must have missed Inner-City Sumo.

I hate Two and a Half Men. There's absolutely nothing comedic about it. Can't believe it replaced Modern Family here in India.
TV has always had loads of shit on it.
Nowadays the big difference is that there's also absolutely fantastic television being made. You just need to be selective.
