SeanBeansShako posted:I don't recall seeing any Agrophobic dude but an unfunny ginger looms large in my mind so I guess I caught the series on its last legs. It doesn't really go bad as such, as there's only two six-episode series, but it is very 90's and hasn't really aged well.

Padje posted:So what did you submit to him? I managed to get involved in a niche project I knew was going nowhere, rather than using that as a launchpad to start something afresh. If only I'd written a third rate puppet show, I could be rolling in it by now (My comment wasn't supposed to come off as 'pfft, I am an infinitely better writer than these mugs' but simply the fact that only a few years ago BBC3 was in a state where they had very little in content coming their way and were crying out for people to present them with projects.)

thehustler posted:Game On was loving top entertainment in my secondary-school-attending years. Are we all exactly the same age in this thread? But yeah, I liked it fine, definitely not the worst sitcom. I liked the episode where it's just Matt at home finding more and more elaborate ways to combat his crippling boredom. Also Skunk Pussies.

I used to like Gimme Gimme Gimme, but then again I also remember liking Operation Good Guys and thinking back that wasn't a very good programme at all.

Game On series one was really good at the time. Series two was just awful. All the charm and humour left with the original actor.

New series of Only Connect on BBC4. Apparently they got complaints that using Greek letters was pretensious and elitist, so they've replaced them with Egyptian heiroglyphs

The Inbetweeners may actually be too good - you have to force yourself to stop laughing, because you know there's another corking line every five seconds after whatever got you hysterical that you won't be able to hear over yourself. Absolutely loving mega.

However, he has been around a while and built his career up from fairly humble beginnings so we can kind of respect him when he tells us we shouldn't eat a bag of sugar every day even if we do find him kind of irritating. However, he is not nearly as well known in the US. To them, he turned up as a fully formed, over confident, self proclaimed Food Messiah preaching his gospel to a bunch of people who had probably been quite happily eating rubbish for years. It's not really any wonder they rebelled against him. Would anyone in this country have reacted any differently if an unknown (to us) American came over and started telling us how to live our lives? Ramsey would have worked better - he's established in America now and you can guarantee he wouldn't have sat down and bawled his eyes out about how 'nobody understands him'.

The last episode of Grandma's House was pretty good. I really enjoyed it when Clive turned up. Though I laughed a lot more at Inbetweeners, Grandma's House gave me more to actually think about. I'm not sure if this is good for a comedy programme, but as a general bit of tv I liked it quite a lot. At least a lot more than The Royle Family, which is about the closest show style wise I can think of at the moment. I'm not really sure why Grandma's House got less praise than Royle Family and I know it wasn't an easy show to like but overall I found it one of the more enjoyable things I've watched this year.

Ratjaculation posted:XFM is pretty good, so I don't want to see them go under. Come with me into the past.... XFM started out as a wonderful pirate station which eventually managed to get the very last London FM local licence. It did very well and was highly regarded by all. Then Capital came along... They wanted their own Virgin Radio, so they bought XFM and within a few days it had totally changed. Eventually people complained and it was found that they were going against their licence remit, so they had to bring back some of the alternative songs on the playlist, but a lot of mainstream stuff remained. This was about the time that Gervais and Merchant left, voluntarily, only to be asked back by Capital. The two of them made quite a thing about that.
