My post was an effort to keep the horrible posting that makes the Doctor Who thread an unreadable mess of smug cunts licking each others ringpieces out of this thread, not an invitation for you to import it.

Flatscan posted:Kin, dude, it's obvious you didn't like tonight's episode of Doctor Who, but do you really need to simultaneously poo poo up two separate threads? I was afraid to post in the other thread because i wasn't sure if dissenting criticism would be met by the kind of knee jerk reaction it got from the likes of Myrddin_Emrys followed by probabtion of the likes from the SGU thread when Aatrek was probating people in a similar fashion. Different people might read these threads too. In there it might be full of people so immersed in the show that they gloss over all of the faults and hang anyone that point them out while in this thread they may be more tolerable to it. I dunno. But i now regret watching the episode even more

In fairness to Aatrek, you and everyone else posting in the SG:U thread at that time had horrible opinions and was wrong. Except me.

Try the spoiler thread, much better quality of poster. I'd just rather avoid another fuckwit invasion of this thread. It was bad enough when all the Seinfeld fans felt the need to defend their show's honour, Doctor Who fans are far worse, especially the yanks.

None of this is exclusive to any particular show, once a TV IV thread has "regulars" it's pretty hopeless trying to edge in a conversation. I enjoyed tonight's Doctor Who but I'm just the kind of nerd it was pandering to. The drawing on the face thing is funny, I didn't even notice how silly that was.

I was drunk last night and ironically decided to watch Game of Thrones on Sky Anytime. Turns out it's brilliant.  I spent most of it trying to figure out where I'd seen most of the minor characters too. Most of them are probably from Hollyoaks.

As an American who watches a lot of British TV but doesn't pay much attention to British politics outside of, say, 10 O'Clock Live, I just wanted to say that I was really disappointed when I finally saw Ed Miliband's name in print. Because I could have sworn everyone was saying Ed Millerband, which always made me think of a group of tired, past-their-prime jazz musicians called The Ed Miller Band.

Did anyone catch BBC's new gameshow Don't Scare the Hare earlier today? I saw the first 3 minutes and couldn't believe it wasn't a satire. Terrible contestants with lovely banter, and barely relevant soundbytes of music being played every 30 seconds ("We're an American football team, current national champions" [We are the Champions plays, sepia tinted view of the team]) I really find it hard to get shocked by lazy telly, but this seemed to tick all the boxes. I don't even know how the rest of the show went.

FractionMan posted:Did anyone catch BBC's new gameshow Don't Scare the Hare earlier today? I caught the last few minutes of it last week and I honest to god thought it was the beginning of the new Doctor Who episode, like maybe the Doctor and his adorable companions had been transported to a deeply disurbing planet of the Robo-Bunnies. I just can't believe it's not a satire, because it seems like something even CBeebies would be ashamed to produce.

From what I saw it's just a few general knowledge questions dressed up and filled out with some bizarre gimmick about not alarming a robot with false answers that make explosions happen or something. Very strange telly

FreakyZoid posted:So you moan about almost everything on TV and hark back to the days of Noel's House party and Jim Davidson? Ok, Yes because both Noel Edmonds and Jim Davidson and their shows were more entertaining than Sharron Osborne, Simon Cowel and the rest of these pathetic "judges" and D list celebrities that fill up the saturday night screens. Saturday night is basically quiz shows that take things far too seriously (hamfistedly clinging onto that lovely tension factor introduced by Who Wants to be a Millionaire) and crappy judge panel shows full of their own trite, countless issues; the biggest one of all being them overinflating their own loving importance. Shows of the past were just that, shows, light entertainment, something that knew it was a saturday night show and was mostly just a bit of fun. Now, it's something else entirely: it's serious, it's edgy, it has "purpose". gently caress that poo poo. Kin fucked around with this message at 13:55 on May 1, 2011 |

This is a perfect post that anybody between the ages of about 25-40 could agree with. Things were so much more fun then, lighthearted entertainment to watch with the family. These days it's all too engineered, and the celebrity culture has ruined everything, with its aspirations and fakeness.

If You Bet was around nowadays it would be twice as long, involve half the stunts and have twenty minutes of build-up in which we discover the contestants' entire family history. If they didn't succeed then there would be floods of tears, followed by a Coldplay-backed montage showing their "journey". gently caress that poo poo indeed.

I keep noticing judges on these reality shows keep saying things like "I have the feeling that you think this is your last chance." Mostly to old people, but who gives a gently caress? Some people get famous, some don't, does it matter?

Don't you understand? You have to be FAMOUS. You don't need to be famous for something, the fame itself is the whole of the thing. If you're not famous you're nothing! All that time you spent doing something rare and amazing? gently caress that unless the weekly mags are doing two page splashes on you every issue.
