TV Programs in General

What is your favorite channel? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My favorite channel has to be BBC Three. It has the very best programs that appeal to me and I love watching it. The channel begins every night at 7pm and shows go on into the early morning. Later into the night, there are shows with a bit more swearing, and these include shows such as Two Pints of Lager & a Packet of Crisps. There are many more random shows on in the early morning including Freaky Eaters, which is actually really interesting. It is a documentary featuring one person who has some weird habit in eating such as only eating crisps or chips. Overall, BBC Three is a great channel and ...  Read the complete review

How many shows end just as you start to enjoy them? I know it seems that whenever I start to watch something it seems to be coming towards the end of it's run. It is almost as if programme makers have a camera into my living room and say, "Dave is enjoying himself again, quick let us stop this schnell!". Do not know why programme makers tend to lapse into German but there you go. Anyhoo, back to my review and in no particular order... 5: Knightmare.

"Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity" The Apprentice 2008 Wednesday at 9pm on BBC 1 After show at 10pm on BBC2 Repeated Saturday midnight... 16 chefs, two pots, and one kitchen-it must be 'The Apprentice'! So here we all are for series four, Sir Alan Sugars search for his successor still going strong. His first big hope was Tim, a very likeable Afro-Caribbean, English guy, who worked on the London Tube and ticked all the boxes, his honest and hard working approach impressing Sugar. He could see lot of himself in Tim but Tim couldn't see a future in Sir Alan, soon unhappy at Sugar enterprises after being bunged ...  Read the complete review

I am afraid for me the TV is an absolute essential. I would love to be one of those people who can say they take it or leave it, but in all honesty its my obsession. Even now while I'm typing this it's on in the background even if it's just as background noise. The only time it get turned off is when I go to bed, or when I'm studying, or occasionally when I get an attack of conscience and think about all the extra electricity its using and turn it off then. ~Thoughts on the impact of TV~ I have to say even though I love my TV and its been a superb invention it also has some drawbacks. On the positive side, television has ...  Read the complete review
