Isn't C.D.W.M repeated ad nauseum on the other random C4 channels?
Are you freeview, freesat, Sky, or what? If you can get into CSI you'll never find any gaps in your viewing schedule.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

At 9pm I want to be able to sit back and watch a witty sitcom, engaging documentary or come dine with me. Last night?
The best you could get was a program about a cranio-facial surgery department of a hospital. And SY02 just had to watch it. V dull.
So what delights to look forward to this evening? Supersize v superskinny, or crimewatch.
I can condense my weekly viewing into these items
Come dine with me
Have I got news for you
Mock the week
Russell Howard's good news.
And that's it. Even the last one is a bit rubbish and he shouts too much.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostI last had a TV (television not transvestite) when I lived in Holland. Since I have been back in the UK I have noticed TV standards have dropped further. I no longer own a TV but use iPlayer and other streamed media. I like comedy but it does not seem to exist these days, people seem to think that being abusive on TV is funny. Both BBC and ITV news has been dumbed down since the removal of Gregg Dyke, I now watch a variety of world news that gives a more in depth and balanced view.

I'm never bored with TV, I could understand being dismayed at whats on offer at 3pm on a Monday but thats what PVR's are for.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I haven't read this whole thread, but I will say this. Many Freeview stations appear to part of a big television conspiracy to collaborate on advisement timings, so if you are ever caught watching TV "live" (PVRless), using the channel swapper button just gives you another station showing adverts. Luckily the PVR comes to the rescue again provided you start watching a programme a good few minutes after it starts and skip past the ads when they appear.Comment

American Chopper, Gold Rush and Deadliest Catch. I like Tuesadays.
Also, Operation Crossbow is on now on BBC2"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

The programs are mostly tulipe and the advert breaks are too large to contemplate tolerating on most of the channels. The only things I have watched recently are something about bikes on BBC4, Infernal Affairs and some documentary about NASA which I had to switch off when the first ad break hit as it was live and I couldn't be doing with 10 minutes of that crap.
Luckily I have a lot of books.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Download and stream to TV. Always have something worth watching....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
