So called "reality" tv and "celebrity" whatever shows are just cheap to make same as the plethora of game shows and cooking "contests". Whoever wants to watch some z list celebrity eat kangaroo testicles is bloody brain dead in my opinion yet there are plenty who lap it it's up rather frightening.
I'm a "Two and a Half Men" (Charlie Sheen only) guy myself with a bit of Family Guy thrown in....never watch that reality stuff. Have enough of that living here in LA.
Can't stand the way they get the audiences on the live shows hyper. Applaud fine, but the incessant screaming and schreeching, sometimes obviously ''canned'' -- and sometimes so poorly edited and falsified that they show an audience shot where they look like they're almost asleep, yet put out sound of a riot. …… then there's the standing ovations just because someone walked onto the stage !
Bloody awful, l the lot of them, apart from the one series that I record, and usually skip half of it and always watch with the sound off, having an aversion to presenters, weather men/women, and interchangeable celebs.
"Ant and Dec are about as funny as getting a boil lanced." I've nothing against them but I've no idea what the appeal is, they're middle aged men acting like cheeky kids. That was fine when they were cheeky kids but they remind me of a 'Gazza' split in two.
I like Ant and Dec but their schtick is wearing thinner and thinner every year. They probably peaked on that breakfast show with Cat Deeley and that was ages ago. Fortunately the only reality tv that gets watched here is when I'm not in. The worst ones have to be Made in Chelsea etc, they would swear on the bible that it's all real but the acting is worse than Hollyoaks.
Is spitting image back on yet ? Hope its as funny as the old one. Plenty choice of Muppets to take the pìss oot of nowadays. Boris Corbyn Trumpfart Abbot etc Way man, nee fooka menshaned Geordie shoowa yet
Spitting Image would not work now as the people you mention are beyond parody. Monty Python would struggle to come up with a character as absurd as Trump or his Poundshop British equivalant. Trump even refuses to speak to any news agency that has the gall to call him out on his bare faced lies and then has the temerity to call them "fake news". Can anyone imagine Harold Wilson, Tony Blair or Ted Heath sliding down a zipwire to open the Olympic games?
The funniest thing about them is watching the one who isn't speaking ... ... it's unintentionally hilarious
Strictly Rooch are you being serious, I'd rather have dog sh1t pelted at me than watch that rubbish ffs.
i yearn for the days of good tv shows, along the lines of Boys From The Black Stuff, Auf Weidershein Pet, Spooks, Ashes To Ashes. you know, shows with a bit of thought put into them
My missus watches a fair bit of this ****e so I get to see bits and pieces. X Factor is bloody awful. I'll hold my hands up, I sometimes vaguely enjoy the first episodes when you get people who think they're mint at singing and are all cocky who then embarrass themselves on national tele. That's canny. Trouble is they then get kicked off and all you're left with for bloody weeks on end is painfully average karaoke singers, why the **** would I want to watch that? Then there's Britain's got talent which is not only cringeworthy in the main, but half the time people go on and start singing. **** off man, if you think you can sing go on x Factor, or the voice or some ****, there's more than enough singing shows. And aye, master chef the professionals, what the ****? Professional chef cooks something? Mint. I could go to a restaurant and watch that with the benefit of being able to eat the ****ing food. And then the plethora of "celebrity" shows boil my piss. By all means do a silly "fish out of water" type thing once a year for children in need or some such but the rest of the time piss off and stick to what you can actually do. And don't even get me started on the incredibly loose definition of "celebrity" that they use. Almost always some knacker from Coronation Street, or someone who has a relatively famous relative, most of them I wouldn't know if they came up to me and slapped their cock/ fanny off my face while screaming their names in my ear. Cheap to produce, mindless ****e that, sadly, seems to make up an ever increasing percentage of the stuff on tele. And gogglebox. **** me, watching some absolute knackers watching television and commenting on it? Just **** off
