How pathetic can tv get?

[minendo]

Just flipping through the channels and discovered that there is now a tv show about MC Hammer and his family.

Wasn't this guys time up like 15 years ago?

There's no limit as far as I'm concerned, that's why I only watch movies or series from discs nowadays.

It's because all these stupid people will watch anything as long as it's a reality show. I hate all reality shows and watch none.

They gave Billy Mays his own TV show, and tried to make a series out of the Geico cavemen.

Discovery is well known for the crap they do now. I saw that hudson river plane landing documentary, it was an hour, actual content ~ 5 minutes. Showing the same reinactments and animations are LAME.

I am watching a show about the moon crashing into Earth. When I turned it on a father and his son were holding own for dear life on a swing-set because of gravity reversal???!!!

I remember my roommates and I staying up late to catch his preacher show on some religious channel one time.

Spike TV is showing the Guy's Choice awards, its the worst awards show I have ever seen. They are even showing an encore right after it.

Not even sure why we pay for directv any more. We don't watch it. Gotta have the wife get it shut off for the next 3 or 4 months. Too nice outside to be wasting any time watching the television.

Same here. I don't understand why people get off on watching idiots scream at each other and then talk about their feelings.

Please Hammer, don't hurt him

They do that trick where they set up something to come after the break then after the break spend half of that segment repeating in a slightly different way what they just went over in the previous segment, usually using the same pics and video shots?

I gave up TV back in 1997 when I joined the Navy. Never missed it. I watch some of the better shows on DVD and thats all.

I keep expecting a grass channel so you can track the growth of various grasses in real time.

I like the thing where they preview something over and over again before every ad break, then at the very end of the show, they finally get to it and it's like 30 seconds longer than the previews were and has almost nothing extra on top of what they've already showed.

Ironic that there are so many channels yet there's never anything worth watching.

Discovery and such used to be great. There used to be some great science shows that explored a lot in the 1-2 hours. Now they take one idea and repeat it liek 10 itmes and they don't go to deep into the ideas.

Yeah TV is 95% crap now. I mostly watch DVDs from Blockbuster Online or the History Channel sometimes. Reality TV has gotten out of control and i have no desire to watch it other then to make fun of it like The Soup does We need some good old fashion shows like The Wonders Years (Greatest TV show of ALL time).

 

[Casawi]

The reason it is airing is because there are people who watch that crap. I don't really what you're talking about, but it must be some reality TV crap. Yeah I gave up on TV, just record my shows and watch my sports.
Heck I don't even watch the news anymore, because I think its BS how they manipulate stories... just tell what the f*ck happen, and shove your analysis up your rear.
