Just to bump this one up....
Incessant TV repeats, especially half way through a series, WTF, nothing on all week because of repeats...

Talking of TV, how about gory movies like Die Hard being shown at 4pm with the swearing muted out but the violence intact. What's that all about? I mean, it's not as if it becomes suitable for family viewing just because Bruce Willis says "Geronimo" instead of "yippie-ki-yay, mother****er" (which, let's face it, is the only line of dialogue that anyone remembers from the movie). I'd much rather see these films unedited after the watershad.

Oh aye it's total crap! However it does have 'Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares' ('Ramsays Kitchen Hell' in the UK) but that's it. I got HBO just for Da Ali G show.
Finally, has anyone watched House MD....what the hell is going on with Hugh Laurie? Did all the marbles fall out of his mouth?
