Reality TV

What is with all the reality TV over the past few years??? Just when you think it can't get any worse, along comes another piece of crap about normal, every day losers either losing weight...or being stuck in an house or on a remote island for 12 weeks, while the world watches their every move. Please...have we become so lame as a nation, that we actually reckon this is decent television?? What happened to the great drama's...or more importantly, the great comedies. For those of us old enough, half hour episode's of Kingswood Country or A Country Practice, shits all over Big Brother and any other piece of shit on tele at the minute. My wife and 2 children gave me for Father's Day last year, the first series of Home Improvement on DVD. It is brilliant. A mate of mine has every episode of Seinfeld. It is brilliant. You can't get classic comedies on television anymore...unless it's insomniacs TV at 3.30am. Thank God the ABC still has some integrity and balls to still show decent British comedy and drama. The Bill has been going forever and Little Britain is the funniest show on TV at the minute. My wife actually has a theory on this....and being a sports nut, unfortuneatly I don't think she is too far off the mark. Due to the fact that Channel's 9, 10 and 7 are so hung up on broadcasting either the NRL, AFL, cricket, Commonwealth, Winter and Olympic Games, they throw huge and ridiculous amounts of money for the broadcast rights, that there is no money left in the coffers to pay half decent actors to make a 1/2 hr sitcom or drama. As a result, they sent a camera man and sound guy out into the street to film everyday wankers, for nothing, because it's cheaper. Sad, but true and I don't think it's going to change in a hurry. Thank God for DVD box sets.
