Just to bump this one up....

Incessant TV repeats, especially half way through a series, WTF, nothing on all week because of repeats...

...and you know who's the worst, BBC America! I wish they would put something decent on for once rather than bloody changing rooms!

I gave up on BBCA a long time ago. I might consider getting it again if they started playing shows like Only Fools & Horses, I'm not holding my breath though.

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.

I remember seeing the movie Porky's on Comedy Central a while ago in the middle of the afternoon, and with all the rude bits and swearing taken out. That coupled with the ad break every 5 minutes made the movie unwatchable.

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?

Monday nights aren't bad...but at least you know there always showing repeats, what pisses me off, in the middle of CSI, Medical Investigation, House, etc, they start to show a string of repeats for no reason...

Bob

that's the problem, there isn't a watershed....really silly ain't it...

That's not a bad show, but he's supposed to be a yank, badly, and the Oz, he's supposed to be a Brit, but badly...but there doing repeats right now...

I just hate the phrase "People friendly" (re: photocopier advert on the telly). What a pathetic meaningless phrase. Mental note to self: never order a copier from the "people friendly" company *ahhhhhhhh*

He's supposed to be a brit? I just know he's the wee twat the used to be in Neighbours.....now Kylie and Natalie Imbrugulia on the other hand........

Bob

What about a family company? That one makes me shudder.
