« on: December 24, 2012, 07:18:35 AM »
Apparently next year is going to be the best yet.... It cant get worse... but then you loook at the list, I got to the second show and cried.. got to the 4th and blew my brains out.

And somehow Chris Lilley  gets another go....

I dont mind a bit of TV, it just irrates me that the good drama and cop shows are late at night.

All the Kitchen/dancing/singing/reno shows are at that 7.30pm time slot and good the good shows like Hawaii Five O and the Law and Order series are on later at night.

Bring back the good old Aussie drama like Blue Healers and the like.

Well at least David Attenborough gets another go next year ... I love seeing the birds and the bees going at it in the name of surviving human destruction.  And there is the second half of the Dr Who series to look forward to as well.   Always a good movie or two on SBS or the ABC ...

As for the rest of that "reality" sewerage ... you can flush it for all I care.   >:(

Another option is buy a PVR (personal video recorder) that supports ICE TV. Subscription is $50-100 per year and it records any of your favorite programs on TV allowing you to watch later and skip the ads. Even live tv can be left for 15mins and watched skipping through ads.  I just have keywords like Malcolm Douglas, fishing, war etc etc and anything fitting the genre or title records. Haven't watched TV live in 4 years and don't see ads.  ;D

You can even skip through Pat Callinan bleating on about his mighty Patrol in his show  :cheers:
