Did anyone see Orbit on ABC1 last night?

It's a 3-part BBC series about Earth's geo-science. It's very good and I learnt heaps

Top stuff

I watched it- some of it was quite dumbed down, but the photography was beautiful, and I learned about coral making rings like trees, which I didn't know.

And what's more... I think we're supposed to relate to it. And what's even worse, a lot of people must be relating to it because they're selling on its back and they wouldn't do that unless it worked.

Moron tv.

I'll tell you something I hate right now... the new Coles ad. To me, it looks like they've got a woman acting like a hyperactive simpleton ... and I'm afraid I'm supposed to find her so inspiring that I will spend all my grocery money to be like her.

Then there's Honey fricking boo boo... Georgie fricking shore... the Kardashians... current affairs stories about bras and bogans... presenters incapable of enunciation... back to back american sitcoms...

I know it's not just me.

Rise up British Expats and declare what ticks you off about moron tv?

Aw, it's not that bad if you treat it like the blokey entertainment fluff that it is ;)

I am forced to watch Embaressing Bodies by my OH ... Forced I say!

I must have a look at Broadchurch - a lot of it was filmed in my home town, so I am moderately interested.

I hit the torrents last night for Game of Thrones season 3 opener, and the closing finale of The Walking Dead. I started downloading almost as soon as they were available, but still managed to catch some spoilers on Facebook :frown:

Also quite enjoying Continuum, and when that's done I'll take a look at The Americans.

Really enjoying The Americans - great story and well acted. Maggie Thatcher featured in episode 2 so an added bonus.

Not sure about Continuum. Will try a few more episodes though.

Just finished Season 1 of Continuum - Really enjoyed it and am looking forward to Season 2 now.

Must remember to torrent The Americans. I'll do it tonight while GoT comes down...

I watch it sometimes- liked it when the Hamster was young, and before it got too formulaic. Clarkson reminds me of my dad, which now he is dead, is a bit too painful to watch. (My dad is dead, not Clarkson.)

It is a bit much sometimes, I was a big fan but I think it's reached the end ... Unfortunately it's still better than most of the other mainstream offerings. :blink:

Take tonight, I have spent the evening with the TV on near-mute browsing t'internet for more interesting things to bitch about.
