Gorn Myson posted:See, I went through it recently and watched it from the beginning and loved every minute of seasons 1 to 6. The quality did dip a bit after season 4, but it took a massive nosedive after season 6. I think the beginning of Season 8 was some of the funniest stuff (with the prison and things, "Krytie TV" was hilarious), but I've spoken with other fans and they completely disagree with me. So yeah, different people have different tastes! Did anyone check out the finale of Waking the Dead? That was some great British TV!

Mr Beens posted:Waking the dead was excellent Having you seen the "body farm" thing? That looks like it could be quite cool. Although Eve is one of the weirder characters in Waking the Dead. So sad it's over...

Strom Cuzewon posted:"I thought you said you weren't going to be here til the morning?" It's a very very clever TV programme, and I agree they resolved it without resolving anything but it definitely feels like the series came to a good close. Sad to see it go, might have to pick up the older ones on DVD.

BizarroAzrael posted:That happens all the time, if a stand-up sees a chance to fit some existing material in there they will take it. They are essentially advertising their live shows and DVDs, remember. It's expected I guess. I do feel bad for comics because they can play the same show every night at a theatre/comedy club, but the moment they make a joke on TV it's dead and can't be used again!

Rarity posted:Also, bejeezus that first show was terrible. Looks like we've used up all of Britain's talent now. Yeah it did show us how talentless we are really. I'll be honest though, my expectations were very low to begin with.

goatface posted:I just can't be bothered watching it anymore. The section overcrowding makes them cut some people off just as they're getting going in the interview, and then they have roundtable debates with the most moronic loving individuals I've seen outside of a question time audience. When they're not doing that, Charlie Brooker spends half his time ranting about the things he normally bemoans people ranting about and Jimmy Carr does some poo poo sketches where he has to mug for laughs. When I do bother to watch an edition on 4od I just end up skipping chunks because they don't do anything other than piss me off. It just shouldn't be live. If they cut it up it would be fantastic. Right now it's just so hit & miss it's not worth watching

Paperhouse posted:this is the kind of person who cares about the royal wedding He sounds like he's on helium. I'll be honest, all this Royal Wedding poo poo? I couldn't give a drat. We get a holiday from it, they get married, stop talking about it in every loving advert break!

Ratjaculation posted:The only thing about the wedding is that is spawned this Some guys in the US thought it was real, which is fair enough because you might think British people can be lively and fun. I think they have yet to realise that we're all empty soul-less grey shells of people. Kin posted:A better (and somewhat more bearable to watch) ad would be one that focuses on historical events. Or better yet, one that shows a mock up of what the moon landing would have looked like were it shot is HD before bringing up the wedding. I'm not saying that the wedding is exactly a historical event on the scale of the moon landing, but at least the advert would have a point and with the other historical events given as examples we'd at least have something interesting to think about while the ad is on. Maybe like that montage BBC or whoever did showing everyone watching historical events on the news on TV? That was actually vaguely interesting... Something like that might convince me buying a new TV is a good idea.

Gram-O-Phone posted:And then all their clothes fell off. And I cycled away ... on the grass That's loving hardcore. Seriously though, this Royal Wedding BS is really starting to get to me. I'm going to refuse to watch TV for the next 2 days with the only exception being House tomorrow evening. I will turn off all radios and just pretend nothing is happening and hope when it's over we aren't plagued by loving repeats.

Zorba the Greek posted:My Big Fat Gypsy Royal Wedding is going to be on in an hour. Why did I love that series... My better half loves this. I checked it out one episode and it's so bizarre. I think I just like catching a glimpse at such an alien lifestyle through the safety of the television. Still fasting from TV until the Royal Wedding is over though... Sick of the adverts.

Zorba the Greek posted:What? Why don't people like Louis Theroux? His documentaries are amazing. Some people seem to think that he's a bit of a dick. I don't see it personally, the documentary he did on Jberg was fantastic. Going to catch up on this latest one soon

Taear posted:I hope you voted for Steven Hall. That guy who won was really boring - why isn't he on X-Factor? Steven was hilarious. For me it came down to Michael (can't remember his last name, he covered "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman) and the Jai (who won). So I put a vote in for both of them, Michael because he was my favourite and Jai because I have Scottish family who wouldn't be happy if I didn't. Sad I know.

Mock the Week was hilarious again. My box missed out on the last 2 minutes though, what was the name of that female comic? She seemed rather strange

Taear posted:Really? I thought it was pretty poo poo, it really needs to be put to bed. So many of the jokes are now really obvious ones, and now that the comedians in it are all mostly famous we've heard their routines a thousand times. Show has definitely gone down hill since Frankie and Russell left but I still found it entertaining. You get good ones and bad ones with all "news-quiz"-type shows though don't you? And cheers for the link N3RDSTER.

thehustler posted:Mock the Week is so painful these days that even if it had Lee, Herring, Robin Ince, Addison, and 2 other people who I really like, I still wouldn't watch it. They don't really have much to work with these days. Really? I still find it funny, probably shows how small minded I am... I don't find it that painful, but nowadays I definitely prefer "Have I got News for you".

ChuckDHead posted:Channel 4 have put it up on 4OD, if you feel the need to make yourself very angry. Watched a bit and bookmarked for later - it seems like it's going to be a good episode, but still showing a bunch of horrible people in a terrible light which is what it does so well. I hope they get their comeuppance.
