I forgive you all including Cycling Dan.

When I was merely middle class I only watched documentaries and nature programmes on TV.

But since I've become pretentiously upper middle class, I no longer watch television (apart from Dr. Who, that is!).

 

[Smokin Joe]

I watch Jeremy Kyle.

You need to switch your viewing from passive to active! Instead of just sticking the TV on and aimlessly wandering about the channels looking for something to watch, sit down at the start of the week and go though the TV guide seeking out interesting programmes, which may be on at times which are not convenient to you. Set your PVR to record them and build up a library of things to watch. I have hours worth of history, nature, science and technology recordings to watch, along with 5 or 6 films, and episodes from a couple of series. I also record the Channel 4 news every evening so I can catch up with that later on.

".......13 channels of sh*t on the tv to choice from"

"57 channels and nothin' on 'em!"

Think we need a more up to date song.


2579 channels of sh*t and still nothin' on 'em!

That post, Vern, articulates something that I've been feeling for a while. Well said

We need more eclectic thread subjects, such as baba ganouche or cooker extractors, to name but 2 at random

What's wrong, can't you find the on button?

I found a button that should have increased the brightness of the tv, but it did not work.

You have to switch the tv on first.

Whats a PVR? I thought Personal Video Recorder but can't use them anymore. So....

For me I see a strange correlation between TV programs and the size of the telly. The bigger and more techno the device becomes the more trivial what you can watch on it becomes. We stopped watching TV a while back 7 minutes of a crap show and then 3 minutes of Bud Light etc was more than I can handle I take Netflix and watch on this here device.

I find the tv better than it has ever been although I never sit down after my evening meal with the expectation of being entertained continuously until bedtime, that would be unreasonable surely?.
