Some of this MIGHT be related to the time period that the programme was on, the same possibly applies to the music thread too. If a TV programme was on at a time you have happy memories of and a positive association with this can lend a kind of positive spin on it in your memory bank. For example, I loved the 70s and tend to fondly remember stuff from then as it forms part of my teenage years, which I enjoyed. This carried over into the first few years of the 80s, until about 83, from then on, I started to dislike the 80s, so anything from the latter half of that decade I tend to look less favourably on.

My missus tends to watch the reality stuff-Jungle celeb,etc etc.....she has been watching this Celeb Big Brother that's currently still running on Channel 5 (says it all,really).Now,while this is on TV and she's watching, I normally can be found either reading the latest edition of Viz on the settee,or scratching my backside,or something like that.....but the other night I started to watch this dross.All the arguing was strangely entertaining.But what really made me smile is one of these American 'celebrities' (her name is Farah or something or other)mouthing off at Natasha,from the mighty Atomic Kitten."....what the f**k have you achieved to make you a f**kin celebrity?You're a f**kin nobody"...she was coming out with this American trash talk.You know what makes Farah a 'celebrity'?Have a guess.Well,apparently she is famous for being on an American TV programme called 'Teen Moms'.She had a baby at 14 years old.....and that is her claim to fame.Oh,the irony.
Pass me the paracetamol,about 12 boxes,and a litre bottle of Famous Grouse.Quickly.

Love it Superclassic. Your post really sums up the large amount of reality dross that dominates the schedules these days.

Superclassic you are spot on... but don't get sucked in! Next time you feel yourself being drawn to thrash TV, go and bash the hell out of your drum kit, that'll soon put the world to rights..!
I watched an episode of The Saint from 1964 while munching on me Cornflakes this morning... no crap / pointlessly flash editing techniques, no 'catching up in part two' b*ll*cks, no shouting for it's own sake and no guest appearences from talentless wannabes who are simply famous for falling out of a limo.... in short - proper telly.

Pass me the paracetamol,about 12 boxes,and a litre bottle of Famous Grouse.Quickly. Big Brother, particularly the celeb version, is one of those shows that you might look at for the car crash factor, then end up becoming fascinated by it, then finally angry that you wasted your time watching it. That they have a p**n performer & 2 other women on the show who have appeared in p**n on the show when a large part of the audience are young teens is completely irresponsible, as is putting obviously vulnerable ( in mental health terms ) people in there. Still, we keep watching it, what does that say about us? If the standard of tv reflects the state of our culture then we are in a very bad way. It's actually sad to see someone like Bobby Davro, who once had his own sketch shows on primetime tv, reduced to appearing on this freakshow. You wonder where future generations of entertainers will come from now that members of the public have replaced them on tv. Whatever you think about Bobby Davro, he comes from a time when having some talent & acquiring experience were necessary...what must he think to be sharing airtime with people who are more famous than him but have done nothing to earn their fame?

Now I'd have thought you'd have liked Downton Sam especially as your Mom is in it !
Gene.
Ugh, I think I preferred Sam's 2006 mum to that one... Ah but you don't realise that Sam's Mum or poor Anna (as she is in Downton) has just had her recently married husband (who she loves very much) wrongly put in jail for murdering his ex wife and it is up to her to find the proof to get him out (of course it is) and she is a poor lady's maid who wears no make up and has to wear ugly hats and plain dowdy clothing in every episode. Well you wouldn't look your best under those circumstances yourself.

Never goes out without make-up and always wears a hat at a jaunty angle.
