Television Thread

The Newsround presenter has a very funny voice. A+

David d*ckenson keeps getting oranger and oranger. I don't understand how it's even possible.

Radiation.

Now Match of the Day has finished, TV is effectively pointless. However, it won't stop me buying a massive new set for the living room on Wednesday.

I hope that helps. Enjoy your stay in England.

Even if it's a repeat, Come Dine With Me surpasses the rest with an tart 8/10. Dave Lamb's commentary plus some complete mongs who think they can cook, trashy people, poncey people, person who manages to fall asleep on her host night and makes some gay guy cook her pack fajitas for her and gets the lowest score ever...

...oh for the love of cookery programmes. Jamie Oliver eat your heart out.


However, if you want trash, E4 has some goldies:

Pre 10am Fresh Tracks. Load of sh*te. Watch Frasier on 4 or 4+1 instead.

10:10am Smallville.
Whiney Emo Superman chases after girls, always gets involved with the Luther family and some bad guy, all resolved in 40 minutes. Clark Kent changes his clothes once a season (I think), and his sole acting talent is his brooding looks at whoever (mostly Lana Lang's retreating back), which happen about 20 times per episode.

11:00am E4 is getting down with the kids of One TREE Hill (the Tree is always emphasised, whether there's a moral or not).
Outrageously trashy, set in some kind of small town somewhere in America called Tree Hill, and this is about the lives of high school kids who look way older than the 17ish they're supposed to be. Each episode starts out with a narration from a character, usually some kind of moralistic tripe or a quote from a book. This is continued at the end. There are cheerleaders in skimpy clothing for the lads and the Tree Hill Ravens basketball team often get their shirts off. There is also a bad guy (which I don't think has ever been explained, but he is constantly described as a BAD MAN) who does BAD THINGS almost every episode.

11:50am Gilmore Girls. E4's favourite mother-daughter team...not fogetting grandma! Alternatively, these are also described as "kooky".
They speak so fast it's hard to follow but they often name drop the Pixies, Kim Deal and there was a Smiths laundry basket in it, so I think it's great. Occasionally there is a naked flasher and a dude who plays guitar around the town of Stars Hallow.

12:40pm Double episode of Scrubs, aka the beautiful healers. These episodes are later repeated at 6pm, and then sometime around midnight.

Then the first three programmes are repeated in case you didn't catch them in the morning, and then you get Hollyoaks. But it's ok, because you can turn over to watch an enthralling episode of Deal or No Deal.

Then, at 4:55pm Friends. A couple of them. Episodes I mean. Oh what shennanigans could possibly happen with this lot? I don't know, because I was never allowed to watch it when I was younger, but I'm guessing Ross and Rachel fool around a lot.

6pm Aforementioned Scrubs.

7pm A different Hollyoaks.

7:30pm My Name is Earl. Worth watching.

8pm The aforementioned Friends.

9pm onwards... whatever night E4 is specialising in.


Yes, I spent a lot of time doing uni work...

On the subject of One Tree Hill, this is the BAD guy waiting for a heart transplant (he has HCM) when something tragic* occurs...






*TRAGICALLY HILARIOUS!

Yeah, i love Come Dine With Me. As i've said before. i do feel embarrassed that i once referred to Dave Lamb as George Lamb, though.
