DSPUK Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have to say most programs to me are rubbish - the only ad I will watch is cat food one with cat with stripes. Now if we had Aussie ad's I might watch them Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodit Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) LOADS of things **** me off on the box But the revelation this year was how good the old stuff is compared to the new! I was well suprised when I realised that about all of the programes I really enjoyed were REPEATS!!!

Willxx Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Its not necessarily the programmes that **** me off its the fact that they're all interlinked now, from breakfast news talking about the lastest "I'm an ice-dancing non entity who has failed having been in a soap opera - get me a reality deal quickly" to the constant coverage in "newspapers" (I use the word advisedly) the resulting spin off programmes etc and the insiduous perculation of this tat and it being treated as "culture". Its been said before but this **** is perpetuating and constantly reinforcing the perception for kids that being "on TV" or "Famous" is the only route to acheiving all that the advertisers tell them that they need to be a success!

I quote it too often but its Bread & Circuses I totally agree - possibly why such activities are termed "Juvenile"! The ideal that everyone will rise to the level of the highest common denominator has been proved erroneous time and time again, people willusually sink to the level of the lowest common denominator, as it is the easy route - put low quality information or entertainment into someone's life and eventually that is all they can aspire to.. The Reithian concept did have something of importance to say, sometimes it is better to pay more for better material, rather than flood the airwaves with cheap, nasty, ****! Sorry, rant over, I will get my coat from the hall and shut the door on the way out Have a good 2012 everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 The whole TV aproach to presentation is now so riddled with ads its not worth watching. I have therefore jacked in Sky. They offered me an amazing deal to go back -free Sky + box, reduced subs etc but never again. I'll stick to love film and the Beeb 1,2.

Highlandladdie Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 All of it at the moment. Rarely actually watch it but being specific, anything remotely 'celebrity', 'reality', soccer or advertisements(this includes ones incorporated into programmes/films). Erm.....not left very much then eh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 For me it's Towie, never seen even a minute of it, never will. The following is true. I'm so out of touch with what's on TV on the 'reality' front I overheard a 15 minute long conversation between two late-20-somethings at a client's recently talking about 'TOWIE' and I honestly thought (for the first 14 minutes) they were discussing a programme about a Welsh river and the weird folks that live near it.

marmitemania Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Very rarely watch television, but every time I do happen to give it a glance that POXY sounds like a Golf ad (what sounds like an over priced under equiped car thats not usually screwed together in Germany and is in reality no better than any other car in its class) is on, it makes me want to puke at how smug and conceted VW and usually the people that drive them really are, dont they just think they are the bee's knee's. The salesman and the pig face woman at the end I just want to crushem. Oh and the go compare ads. What the Hell is Towie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I pay for Virgin XL TV package so that I can watch channels such as Natgeo, men & motors, history, discovery, that way I get to avoid all the soaps, dancing, celeb going for a dump etc. Trouble is, every decent series on now has just finished on another channel, so I've seen everything! Wheeler dealers was good, but its currently on its fourth or fifth run, same with anything similar. Then, each programme is on at the advertised time, next channel is same thing on HD, next channel is same as the other 2 plus one hour, multiply that by 5 or 6 programmes and most of the channels have gone I can flick through about 100 channels and see nothing new!

caeser Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 This has been a great thread, and I think I agree with every word that been said. There is another annoying ad that I'd like to mention, Its a little fella, with long hair, and a stupid green cape thing on,advertising windows, saying, " You buy one, you get one free, I say you buy one, you get one free." Hadn't seen the ad for years, then suddenly it was back on my TV recently. AARRGGGHHH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroku4399 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 The one advert that really annoys me is for berrocca where the two lumberjacks are dancing on logs, its when they start kicking the water over each other.Just seems a bit push back mountain Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
