Advantages: Most other shows.

Disadvantages: Big Brother

E4 is a channel that shows on digital and free view television. It is for the young adult age group, from about 14 to 28. It is available in the UK and Northern Ireland, as it shows programmes in English but you can also watch it online using 4OD to catch up with your favourite programmes or you can use one of the programmes available to watch TV on your computer or laptop. It is channel 136 on sky, and then its 137 for e4 plus one. On freeview, it's channel 28 for E4 and channel 29 for e4 plus one, but this has changed as they both used to be one channel up. It is brought to you by channel 4, and linked to the channels such as 4music and more4.
It mainly shows repeats, but does have the premieres of some of new, very popular shows before you can see it on channel 4, and then they will be repeated later on during the week when they have been shown on channel 4. Examples of these shows are Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty when they are showing.

They mainly show American shows, and tend to repeat them every day in the order of the episodes until they finish and then they simply replace the finished show with a new one.

A point about the channel which is very useful is that it has a plus one channel which is one channel further up on both free view and sky. It is really useful because you can catch things that you wouldn't normally be able to see, or can plan your viewing schedule around other things that you are doing.

However, one bad point is how much big brother is on when its showing. They cancel all the good shows and replace them with repeats of big brothers, little brother, big mouth, etc.

Most of the shows are comedy, but there is however the odd bit of reality, science fiction or drama.

Some of my favourite shows are:
Friends: This great show must have been seen by everybody, two episodes are on twice a day and it goes through the ten seasons, before repeating again as it is such a popular programme, and it never seems to end. They are half an hour long each, and it is a sitcom/comedy about the lives and loves of Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey, Phoebe and Ross.

90210: This is one of the only very popular and new shows that is only showing on E4. It is a remake of the old show Beverly Hills 90210 from the nineties, and stars lots of unknown actors and actresses, although they are all very good and have a lot of chemistry. It is about the lives of the rich crowd in Beverly Hills, and has many different story lines.

Ugly Betty: There are both repeats of season 1 and 2 as well as the premieres of season 3. This is an original, American show about Betty Suarez who wants to be a journalist, and starts by entering fashion, a world that she doesn't fit into at all. The plot of this show is similar to the plot of the film, the devil wears prada only it is a much more extended storyline with different things going on.

A selection of the other shows available are;
Desperate Housewives
Beauty and the Geek
The Hills
Gilmore Girls
Big Brother
One Tree Hill
Smallville
The OC
ER
Skins
Hollyoaks
Scrubs
Samantha Who
The Inbetweeners
My Name is Earl
Dirty Sexy Money
