      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.

        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.

        Don't see the point in owning a telly really.
        I 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.

            The Daily Mash - It's not telly if you watch it on a computer, say middle class people

            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.

              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.

                Also, Operation Crossbow is on now on BBC2

                  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.'

                    Download and stream to TV. Always have something worth watching.
