Is it me or has TV gone wrong?.

There's not a huge amount I watch that's British at the moment. QI is good, but it's starting to feel a little tired and Have I Got News For you is alright but I'm not watching it as intensely as I was. Sherlock and Doctor Who are very good though, but on for so little time. I miss Penn & Teller: Fool Us, first TV talent show in a long time that I've enjoyed.

Quite a good bit of American TV that I like though. Watch every episode of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, and catch a good bit of SNL. The Simpsons can still hit high notes, but I agree with the consensus that it's not as funny as it was. Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother are good sitcoms (although I wish How I Met Your Mother would pick up the pace a bit). Need to watch The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, hear good things.

I haven't watched much, apart from sport and news, live for a while though. Catchup makes it so easy to just watch when convenient.

TV is brilliant.

Exhibit B:

any thing involving members of the public/"celebrity"
any soap
any show involving cooking/interior design or selling stuff from your attic/basement

Just expanded a bit.

I see Big Brother is coming back again next month, flogging a horse that died many many years ago.

It was on Channel 5 lastyear as well...

I know, apparently the 3 people that watched it are in need of another fix.

When's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here back on? I like that

There are quite a few good documentaries on BBC4, tonight at 9 is "Around the world by zeppelin"; you wouldn't get that on Sky (it would be "Vernon Kaye's Celebrity Zeppelin trip")

You know that is the only celeb thing I can stomach. Mainly because I would love to have a crack at it. It also makes some big ego's very transparent and has sod all to do with Cock face cowell.

To answer your question, it's late November normally.

PS. Used to quite like Hells Kitchen as well. Especially Jim Davidsons outbursts. I miss that show.

I think TV is going through a good phase at the moment. This year we've had Homeland (one of the best TV series ever), a second series of The Killing, The Bridge, the rather under-rated Vera and some stonking documentaries. Telly always starts getting crap in the summer but there has been some terrific stuff on in the last 12 months.

Maybe I am missing these because I live with a wife and two teenage daughters. Maybe it's time to go to the PUB.

Admittedly I watch the documentaries when Mrs Gwylan is out or on the PC while she's watching Fashion Police or something equally mind-numbing.
