Where has TV gone wrong?........Q

  1. ........or am I getting old?

    My Teenage daughter had "Geordie Shore" in tv last night. What a Huge Pile of Shit!

    Likewise The only way is Essex (no its not) and Made in Cockin Chelsea (not its correct title)

    Is this truly reflective of Tv standards and apparent celebrity nowadays? God help us all!

  2. Unfortunately the tv programs you have previously described is how the youth of today are modelling themselves for the future. Its scary to watch really and saddens me. However is this just the progress of time and my refusal to accept it. More to the point with age becomes the realisation that you dont have to bow to pier pressure and you can actually be your own person.

    FOOK FOOK FOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have turned in to an old fart HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!

  7. You aren't the only one! Its on some channel way up the numbers on the sky box. Didn't pay attention TBH. I couldn't quite believe what i was hearing when a slapper of a girl was jumping up and down on a blokes bed and he threatened her that if she didnt get off he was going to finger her! FFS!

    Now i'm no prude but that is just scummy idiocy and shouldn't be broadcast especially at 21.30 hrs. Suffice to say we had a row!
     
  8. Was that one of those programmes about Princess Diana?

  9. yes, and the media in general im afraid.

    you forgot to mention anything with 'celebrity' in the title, anything made by Cowell, anything with 'the great british' in the title, or any number of shite so-called reality manufactured drivel.....lizard lick towing, storage cunters, tv renovation shows, shows about cooking, shows about celebrities cooking who then become tv chefs in their own right..its a self perpetuating gravy train of drivel...then theres all the hospital dramas, following coppers around, so called funny video shows..all utter dross..almost as bad as spanish telly.
    i go to my mates houses..the telly is on, and exact sme fkn epsiode of top gear is being shown for the umpteenth time...that or some american melodrama....
    when you chuck your telly,m its an incredibly liberating experience..try it, even for just a week...stop buying newspapers too...you'll still get all the news..just more of it from different sources...try it..you'll feel free, i promise you.

  13. There,s a blinder on tonight Channel 4 10pm
    "Up all night" The nightclub toilet" the clip looked quality !! 2 chaps breakdancing on a wee soaked floor doing back spins !

    I think it's the goings on of a night club lav .. Now that's what I call quality T.V

    HBO stuff is pretty good
    I enjoyed Hannibal that was brilliant !
    I love " Educating Yorkshire" but then I work in Education.

    I like Sky Arts for its music.
    The only crappy program I watch is MTV Catfish.

    I love Discovery Shed as long as it's bike stuff or Wheeler Dealers.

    I don't watch Soaps
    I loathe any thing " got talent " or X factor it's drivel I refuse to watch.
    "Strictly come Dancing " and " got to Dance" is a huge NO!
    Anything on Ice , dancing , singing .. Can go whistle!

    I like Comedy Central especially last night as " Beavis and Butt-head " was on :).

    I can't seem to find many good films either :(
    Not a great Rom Com girl ....

    I missed Breaking Bad !
    Any good ?
     
  14. Geordie Shores I've caught twice.
    How vulgar are the girls on there :( :(
    Nothing to do with being Geordie I know plenty who are not like that!
    They are just vile and nasty ..
    Right bunch of slappers!
     
  15. Cheers Funky, True but soooooo inappropriate especially in Tesco's Express! .
     
  16. "celebrity culture" - utter drivel ! There are children these days who think that "celebrity" is a job-title and a valid career choice ! Mindless crap for the masses... Why is it all over the television? Because it's cheap to make and there are a load of half-wits who actually watch it and think it is in some way relevant or important - mainly because the trashy tabloids that they read have told them that it is. Self-perpetuating garbage !
     
  17. Nice to read that so many others think the same about all those programs on tv, I just thought I was one of the few that thought this way.

    Ps Hellcat you should watch Breaking Bad, its a bit odd to start with but it soon develops into a great story definately worth watching ive just seen the end of season 4.
     
  18. I don't watch any of 'em so I cannot comment.

    I mainly listen to music & read books & weather permitting, ride my Diavel. When I do watch TV, it is normally the parliament channel, documentaries, travelogues etc.

    I'm ok with that. Everyone else can make their own choices.

  19. The only reason I still pay for a TV licence is the fact that the Clangers are coming back on telly. :upyeah:
