E4

When I get home from work, I enjoy nothing more than having a nice cup of tea while watching an episode of Friends. I know Friends has been on for ever but it's timeless and I can watch it over and over again. For this reason, I think E4 is a fantastic channel and I don't know what I'm going to do when they decide to stop showing Friends! However, apart from this savour, I do find E4 a bit repetative. It's great that they have a plus 1 channel so you don't miss anything but they repeat everything so often anyway that it just means you're forever watching the same things. In the space of 5 hours, you can watch the same Friend's episode 4 times between the two ...  Read the complete review

When I purchased a freeview box a couple of years ago, I had the aim of watching one channel in mind, and that was e4. E4 is another channel behind the makers or channel 4 designed at the younger demographic, teenagers and young adults. The channel aims to be a little different, a bit arty, wacky and funky. The channel shows classic American comedies such as Friends, Scrubs, Gilmore girls, and the Hills, all of which I really enjoy. It shows the Friends episodes just at the right times, when I am getting in from dinner and when I am spaced out in the evening looking for something light hearted to watch. E4 also acts in a partnership with ...  Read the complete review

E4 has been around since 2001, and at the time was heralded as being something completely amazing. In reality, it turned out to be a decidedly average digital channel. The channel is aimed at 15-35 year olds, and at its best includes American TV shows such as Friends and the Sopranos. These American shows are so well written that they really do put us Brits to shame. The channel shows lots of episodes of Friends, which is always a winning comedy. I applaud the channel having the guts to basically acknowledge that UK programming is rubbish, and buying in a load of imports. The Sopranos is (in my opinion) the best show ever, and it's a real joy to get into it on ...  Read the complete review

Many moons ago Channel 4 used to be the channel for cutting edge TV showcasing the best in independent shows and the more controversial programmes that the ITV or BBC wouldn't show. It launched its sister channel E4 in 2001 and i assumed that because C4 had sold out that on its digital channel E4 would now show the types of shows that once made it great, oh how wrong i was. E4 in fact shows the worst in television, it is steeped in celebrity culture and is purely aimed at 13-21 year olds that obviously read Heat magazine as a book would be too challenging. If thats not bad enough you can also enjoy it all again on its extra channel E4+1 which shows the same ...  Read the complete review

E4 is a free digital channel stemming from Channel 4. It also has a free One-hour catch-up channel which shows the same shows later on (E4+1) E4 generally shows programmes exclusively for absolute morons, such as Big Brother, Hollyoaks, The Hills and The O.C. with vast amounts of adverts in between. The channel seems to be aimed at people 13-25, with its gaudy, trendy look and irritating, sexy presenters with zero personality or charm with whom I feel I am supposed to identify, but instead, along with the show's warm, fuzzy and loathsome ethos leave me feeling depressed and alienated, as does the exclusive content such as Skins and Smallville.
