If you could remove ONE show from TV, what would it be?

[Barham's tash]

Whatever the first reality show was, I presume Big Brother.

I just wish that it had collapsed at the first hurdle and then the endless stream of reality drivel would never have been green lit in the first place.

A bit OT I know but is anyone excited about the X Files making a reappearance?

Any of the "fake" reality dramas... TOWIE, Geordie Shore, the tw@ts from Chelsea, the even more annoying tw@ts from New York, etc.

Everyone appearing in or involved in those programs should be rounded up and shot - no appeal, no exceptions.


Then we can start on all the "reality"/"celebrity" programs... now, I don't believe that these programs should stop completely... the celebs and wannabes should still be shipped off to the house, jungle, ski resort, wherever... just don't send any cameras with them (or, indeed, any means of getting back).


Finally, once "reality TV" has been eliminated completely, we can rid TV of soap operas. What depressing sh1t!




With all the new "holes" in the schedule, we can consolidate some of the channels, get rid of 5, anything with "living" in the name and anything with "network" in the name and bring back the decent, intelligent, well made programs that got cancelled prematurely.

Anything with Alan Carr .

None, if I don't like a programme I won't watch it...simple!

I was going to post something like this. Clearly SOME people like all of the programs mentioned – or they serve some kind of purpose, or else they wouldn't be on.

However, I did leave the TV on last night after the BBC 1 news and a 'comedy' show about a couple of blokes in a café came on. I'd like to know who watches THAT...

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Anything fronted by the odious new breed of 'mockney metrosexuals'. Step forward Tim Lovejoy and Jamie Oliver for starters....

This. One man's meat is another man's poison.

I am pretty much in the 'live and let live' camp, but wouldn't miss anything with Nicky Campbell in it if it disappeared.

Seems like you did!!!!

Football on ITV.

"So the teams are about to emerge from the tunnel; we'll be back for the kick-off right after this short break"

 

[ditchy]

I'll kick off with Mrs Brown's Boys

I soooo hate that programme

 

[Fran Hagarty]

Top Gear with the abhorrent Jeremy Clarkson.

You know what I mean. People who actively PLAN to watch it, not realise it's on, then switch it straight off (which is what happened in the Bobkin household). Some bloke came into said café with a sandwich board with stuff about eggs written on it. That was MORE than enough for me!

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

X-Factor
It's just a TV designed to pull at the heart strings of the lowest common denominator and make Simon Cowell even more rich. It's not even subtle about it. Playing the same sob stories week after week. The same "drama" between the judges. The same "but singing is my LIFE" horse shit.

People have this burning desire to be the pretty face at the end of the production line. That's all they are. They're replaceable cogs in the machine designed to benefit the fat cats at the top. The "winning song" is the jewel at the top of this brown crown made of dog shit. "**** it, feed them the same ballad reworked a little, DON'T FORGET THE KEY CHANGE!".

If you can sing. Use it. Pick up an instrument and start to write songs. If nobody likes them, who cares? Why should you deserve money and fame out of writing songs? If you make people happy enough that they want to buy your music, great. You don't deserve anything just for having a nice voice and a pretty face. I've got a pretty guitar and can play "Sweet Child of Mine". Do I get a prize? Do I bollocks.

People should aspire to be much more. They should aspire to be Freddie Mercury playing his piano on stage at Wembley. They should aspire to be better people and be the masters of their own destiny. Not a puppet with Simon Cowell's hand up your arse.

Great post. X-Factor also my choice. Would write a reason why, but the above sums it up well!

Another vote for the One Show, especially since that Ginger **** started getting his repulsive mug back on TV.....

Count Arthur Strong is a legend. To be fair it was better on radio, but I watch the tv show as the radio show is not on at the moment, and thoroughly enjoy it.

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Quite right that you can simply change channel but if I was forced to watch any of Mrs Brown's Boys, Top Gear or Deal Or No Deal I might lose my customary cool.

I actually find him less annoying than Matt Baker, who always seems to be giggling and on the edge of hysteria.
