BBC2 is so desperate for something to replace the Bake Off they might go for a Great British FMK competition.

I was about to be sad that BBC3 is going, but then again the few good shows it did commission can replace the complete poo poo they're currently putting out on BBC 2. Or you know, drop the idea of schedules entirely and just have the one on-demand channel that shows whatever you want, whenever you want. I wish conventional TV would move towards this model.

That will only become the default when 1) all the grans in the world die and 2) the government wants to sell off the wavelength.

I'll miss BBC 3 for its trash. Nothing is better than being hungover on a Saturday morning and watching Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents followed up by repeats of Don't Tell The Bridge. They'll keep BBC 4 as they want to increase the audience for music and arts, which is more my cup of tea, but nevertheless, boo hoo. Though I imagine most of the audience for BBC 3 watches its programming on iplayer anyway so hopefully they'll still air Young Butcher of the Year on BBC Digi or whatever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkWGdyns2aA The ident of being at someone elses house.

RIP Mongrels, Snog Marry Avoid and Hotter Than My Daughter. Three modern masterpieces. (only slightly sarcastic about the latter two)

As a self-confessed fan of terrible television, this was the reaction I had when I heard. Goodnight sweet prince, the world was too good for you.

Goodnight sweet prince, may images of blokes flashing their awkward ball sacks before Watershed and the sound of the endless nasal laugh Peter Griffin nurse you to your deep sleep.

BBC3 peaked too early with "Can Fat Teens Hunt?" and could never match the same brilliance again

I thought it was the weakest Inside No. 9 so far, but since it's an anthology show I'm not miffed about it. Not every show is going to be to my tastes.

If I think about it I hardly ever watch 'stuff thats on now'. I watch the things I like on iPlayer etc, practically everything else is something my girlfriend has recorded on her sky box thing when we are hanging out. I watched last nights 2 episodes of family guy on bbc3 last night live last night because I couldnt sleep but im struggling to think of anything previous. Its a change in culture I think, when I lived with my parents many moons ago the tv was always on. Personally I just dont want that anymore as ive realised most of it poo poo.

Watch it while stoned to appreciate the full paranoid horrific and anxiety inducing effect.

Very true, haven't met anybody that thought it was just "alright", you either get a glare of incomprehension and disgust at the end of showing it to someone, or they steal your DVD of it because they liked it that much. I liked it. And the bit where Reese Shearsmith leaves the tent is one of the most uncomfortable, creepy things I've ever seen.

I'm kind of sad to see BBC3 go, but it's so lost sight of the original purpose (if it ever had one) that it's just a mercy killing at this point. I did like it fairly early on when it did take a punt with a few shows that probably wouldn't have made it elsewhere (stuff like Snuff Box and to a lesser extent Mighty Boosh) but I think 3 pints of lager finally killed it off. Probably. Anyway, have some Snuff Box https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN74mnaqno4

Yeah the original idea of a more youth orientated BBC channel isn't a bad one, it's just that the shows they ended up making for it were, in fact, bad.

The trouble is that its incredibly hard to make decent cheap yoof tv, snog marry avoid is unironically one of the most amazing pieces of telly put out by bbc3 due to how much entertainment you can get out of it for it being so (relatively) cheap to make. As much as we'd like to think we have great taste in this thread, bear in mind bbc3's target audience probably love family guy and jack whitehall. That said there was a lot of genuine dross and over-reliance on "poo poo out another documentary with sex in the title", it nearly reached channel 4 levels. Its criminal we never got another series of the fades though.

Is family guy considered poo poo by the hivemind? I find it very entertaining but then i did only watch my first one a couple of months ago, i dare say the novelty will ware off soon. Sorry i do just giggle at the evil baby  I suspect I might just be catching up on a 5 year old fad or something.

Sorry i do just giggle at the evil baby If you tried to sit and watch them all you'd probably end up hating it, but if you just tune in and happen to get one of the good episodes it can be funny; there's just a high poo poo:quality ratio, and a lot of goons remember how bad it was pre-cancellation. American Dad is a much sharper social commentary, but only if you're politically left leaning. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Mar 7, 2014 |

BBC3's audience was 18-35 year olds. I suspect that the majority of people who post in this thread fall into that range (or have done during its' run) - and it was hitting a stunningly low percentage of the target audience. I'd be willing to gamble they were actually getting more viewers from CBBC's target audience, even.

Family Guy can be entertaining if you happen to catch an odd episode, as previously stated, but the more you watch, the more you realize how bad/formulaic it actually is. That said, we did get some genuinely good stuff out of BBC3. Being Human, a few neat comedies (I happen to think Snuff Box is one of those shows that probably won't be recognized for how brilliant it is until much later - if ever) and such. It's a shame it was drowned in a torrent of dross.

I enjoyed his last comedy DVD. He concentrates a little too much on his OCD/awkwardness. I think he'd make a great political comic but I think he doesn't trust himself enough to do it.

I liked Inside No 9. Not hilarious, but I like that kind of pacing. I thought it'd have been interesting to have a series in which the cast remains the same but they do a different play each week. The 'extra' episode is good too; http://www.insideno9extra.co.uk/inside/index.html
