Advantages: Scrubs

Disadvantages: Constant repeats

It is not really a surprise that this channel has now ceased to broadcast on my Virgin package as all it seemed to do was show a constant stream of repeats. It had a few good shows which were mostly comedies but it only seemed to have the rights to a couple of series of each and it showed them constantly from week to week.

The other thing that I found annoying with the channel was the fact that it adopted the American style of showing commercials in that a thirty minute show would start and then two minutes in it would cut to adverts, then it would show the bulk of the episode before cutting away to adds again. It would then return for the conclusion of the show, there would be no adverts between shows just an announcer doing a one line (often corny and repeated line from show to show) link before the next show started only to go straight into a commerial break. This meant that you got two chunks of adverts within a ten minute period.

During the day most of the shows were coemdies, they did have the excellent Scrubs whic was my main reason for watching as well as the passable Home Improement and Twelve Rules for Dating my Daughter however there was some awful American comedy as well like Hope and Faith which was dire. In the evenings there was more drama after 9.00 but most of these shows were poor with maybe the only one i ever watched being Ghost Whisperer which was ok.

To be honest this is not a channel that I will miss much as it showed way too many repeats.

Summary: American channel not worth watching.
