Most hated tv genre? (Page 2 of 2)

Reality TV is just the most brain numbing crap. I can't believe peoples lives are so boring that they actually sit and watch shows like big brother etc, where people that have nothing of any value to say in the first place sit around and talk drivel for 12 weeks....

Plus to make it worse , the networks air the normal show every night, plus recaps, plus "highlight" episodes, plus specials nights, its all just cheap production, no effort, unimaginative, feed the dumb masses anything crap.

I've read some bizarre conspiracy theories of late including one about a group called the "Club of Rome" who are attempting to dumb down the population to make them easier to control, and seeing shows like Big Brother rating like they do makes me a little afraid the theories might not be too far from the truth.

you have got it all wrong dude. watching something never makes you anything. if you do something during watching (drink booze, eat fattening food (chips, french fries etc.)) then you may be in a danger of getting fat. but watch olympics and eat healthy food. i do hope they sell healthy food in your country.

Ok first thing, Yes Australia is a huge-ish country.

size difference
United Kingdom     =   244,820 km² (population 60,587,300)mid-2006 estimate
Greater London     =       1,579 km² (population 8,505,000)
Whole of Australia = 7,741,220 km² (population 21,370,000)

BUT nobody really lives in the middle Desert parts (there are some) the population is mostly around the edges.

Free 2 Air TV:
ABC1 + ABC1HD. HD only plays HD so is off-air most of the time.
ABC2 this repeats everything on ABC 1.
7SD + 7HD play the same on both.
9SD + 9HD play the same on both.
10SD + 1HD/12HD almost the same only diff is:-
                          BSG/Smallville/EUREKA/4400/Jericho on HD.
SBS 3SD + 30HD play the same on both but it's upscaled or not.
SBS WORLD NEWS I don't watch it.

That's only 5 by 'my' count.

I sleep through most or all of these

How about the dreaded "UN-funniest home video" getting kicked/hit in the nads is only funny the first 60 or 70 times.

membreya - Opps sorry about that the W.A. 'Access 31' just folded here last week.  I wasn't aware of the others around OZ.

I thought that 7 was the first TV station here?

As a young-un I grew up in the country so ABC was all we/anyone could get (unless you had a 15/20m Booster antenna for a lovely-snowy-triple-ghosted image of 7 & 9) But hey this wasn't to bad as Dr Who has always been on ABC.

i was referring it to a comparison to Estonia where i live. 1.3 million people.
42K is area.
and we have at least 8 tv stations that are local. but those living in towns usually have cable so its like 60+ channels.

That's easy choice, watch/record good shows and we don't have lots of good shows.

I recently got satellite TV (Sky!) so I gets me about 700 channels... and at any one time, either 699 or 700 of those channels have nothing good on!

Reality TV, without a doubt.

It's a sign of the immenent downfall of civilization.
