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

Re: Moron tv
Who bothers watching real time free to air TV these days? I record almost all the shows I'm interested in (not many) and fast-forward through the adds.
Free to air TV is crap because there are so many other, better, alternatives out there and they are losing money. The only decent channel is SBS and even ABC is going downhill. Ten has collapsed due to the stupidity to the right wing billionaires who took over it.

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.

Re: Moron tv
It's getting worse, isn't it?
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.

Re: Moron tv
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.)

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

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

Re: Moron tv
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...

Re: Moron tv
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.

The Rwandan/Tanzanian scenery was stunning in last night's episode, though the flies were worse than anything I've encountered, even at Uluru.
