TV Gap Period

On 612 ABC Brisbane today there was a discussion about television around the Easter period. Apparently the number of viewers dramatically reduces, as everyone is away on holiday, so programmers run repeats and shows that don't rate that well. Basically they put a load of crap on t.v.

So, how is that different to normal programming?

Just When You Thought TV Couldn't Get Any Worse...

...Then along comes a new series of Beverley Hills 90210. At first when I read it I thought it was a joke.

According to Channel 10 Australia, a new series is returning on September 8th.

"Jennie Garth (Kelly), Tori Spelling (Donna) and Shannen Doherty (Brenda) will return as guest stars playing (respectively) a guidance counsellor, a boutique owner and a high school musical director, giving Generation X their dose of mature storylines."

What's next - a 60 year old Fonzie in Happy Days Millennium Edition?

The State of Television...And My Life

Tonight I sat down to watch some telly. We have the full Foxtel package which comes with 1000s of channels. Well, probably really around 70 or so.

But amazing with all those channels there's nothing on (hmmmm... maybe there's a song in that).

So while I was surfing through the channels I came across Celebrity Wife Swap. Just when I thought TV couldn't get any worse!

But then I got thinking, what would make a funny swap? Maybe Ozzy Osbourne could have Martha Stewart move in? Or Marge Simpson could move in with Peter Griffin on Family Guy.

Then I though... what the hell am I thinking? I'm truly bored and have no life! And to make things worse, I've even blogged it!
