I'm with you, Smithy.
Seems this summer's network schedule on this side of the pond is nothing but variations on American Idol. What really frosts me is when the network news divisions decide the results are newsworthy and they tale up time on the news shows. Reality check...people who gave a about that watched it.

The Boss was so right!

I bought a bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my Japanese car
I came home and I pointed it out into the stars
A message came back from the great beyond
There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires
We might'a got all nice and friendly
If we'd made it upstairs
All I got was a note that said "Bye-bye John
Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"

So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast
'Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbin' the almighty peace
Judge said "What you got in your defense son?"
"Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"
I can see by your eyes friend you're just about gone
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on...

We're up to series 9 on this side of the pond - I've never watched and never shall.

But they're cultivating their own food this time, so instead of being like watching paint drying it'll be like watch grass growing

Yep international crap, itīs here in Spain too. when I saw the post I thought it was refering to the Orwell book which I have just read again recently.For people who havenīt already read it , I strongly recomend it & for people who read it some time ago ,read it again because the first time that I read it some of it seemed too far reached technologically & morally but now it doesnīt

TV has really gone to the dogs. "Reality TV",... yeah right, six packs and buff bodies with the odd white trash thrown in to show we're "real". I'd rather listen to the radio these days.

Thats why we have lots of channels now. If you don't like it change it. Simple. Or maybe turn it off and get busy at the workbench.
