h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's crap T.V for the masses - switch off and go and do something less boring instead (oh, for the days when t.v. channels switched off for the night).

maby watch paint dry

Or waiting for a kettle to boil...does anyone remember the test cards?

Or late night poker

The little I've seen of it, it strikes me that reality is the most inappropriate description. It's all contrived situations & heavily edited.

Ah these old clocks ....

it's sad. it's sad that humanity has sunk so low as to have something this stupid be considered entertainment. And i thought soap opras were pointless.

Just remember if you think its low now, you wait a few years.

In the future, perhaps we'll record the decent stuff (i.e. documenteries or whatever) and can ignore the rest. Digital TV, and large hard drives.

my head hurts.

Really bad.

I either have a cuncusion,

or i'm hung-over.

sorry, that really didn't have anything to do with reality TV did it?

Ahh well, the horrible head ache I have now, reminds me of the pain I experience while watching reality shows.

HA! there! now it does!


OUCH!

I beleive that it is for those people who don't have anything better to do with their lives than watch complete rubbish. Why don't people get out and do things?

They wont get up and do something, cos they spend all their time watching reality TV, where nobody can leave at all.

Thanks Tom, I'll check out the test card site on the cult pages. It will help me get over the severe shock I had last night, when I caught a trailer for a new series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here,

I saw a trailer of a new one thay are starting soon on Bravo, it involves three young men, and one single woman, and lot of until she finds the man who is single!!
What a load of what example does that give to the youngsters of today

I suppose in the end it had to happen, as we all these channels, 100 or even more!! and thay cant all go on showing repeats of seventies sit -coms!!If your not a Diy, cooking, or house hunting fan, then Im afraid you have had it!! You will just HAVE to watch these so called reality shows! Good Luck, and remember you can always tape it
Smudger,

I haven't seen a reality TV show in years

Have to say I mainly read and listen to music, apart from the odd history or natural history documentary, I don't watch much t.v at all, most of it's banal, boring rubbish - hooray for radio!

Must admit I do miss the radio from my working days, where I used to drive around all day listening to radio2. I miss the discussions on the Geremy Vines show.
The music was really good as well. Now Im stuck at home all day, thank God for this PC, as my wife just loves watching all those old movies on TCMod that stuff on Hallmark
Smudger,
