TV Viewing.... what do you do. - Page 2

There's nothing on TV I bookmark to watch. Last thing was probably series 3 of the Inbetweeners, but other than that I'll switch it on before bed and watch an episode of Family Guy, or occasionally enjoy a rant at Come Dine With Me. Most of my viewing is from DVD series - borrowed every series of House recently and watched them back to back and started watching The Shield about a fortnight ago. Bought all 7 seasons for £30 at Christmas.

It's funny how as a kid I could watch TV all day on Saturday and not be bored, but now there's no kids TV in the morning, only cooking shows, and evenings have become unbearable to watch. I blame the explosion of channels to a point. In the 80s and early 90s choice was limited so the programs had to be good. Since it's become easier for people to switch the channel we just get a slew of cheaply made reality crap and talent shows. Probably why I've turned to US television for decent stuff because they seem to have had the opposite transition; plenty of channels showing cheaply made rubbish to quality shows with reknowned actors in. Even their sitcoms are now trouncing ours in terms of quality, which is a scary thought.
