TV progammes that have dragged on far too long

[MK Shrimper]

Simply how much more can they milk out of the following;

a) Little Britain: The painfully unfunny Little Britain USA. Give it a rest and think of something new! Now we're set for these US "celebrities" whoring themselves out (ala Rosie McDonald) to be attached to it. Don't go there USA, the creative train left YEARS ago.

b) Soccer AM: A mere shadow of a once fine Saturday morning programme. The fact that you can get it on Sky 1 indicates that Sky think it's bobbins as well these days!

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Totally agree with Soccer AM, being saying that ever since Lovejoy decided Something For The Weekend was a far better bet!

Last Of The Summer Wine - that's one that has to go, hasn't been even remotely funny since at least 1979.

Big Brother - say no more!!!

X Factor (& any other cr@ppy Britain's Got Celebrity Talent on Rollerskates whilst Ballroom Dancing) type pish!!!)

Quite enjoyed Soccer AM this morning actually, Ralf Little was very funny and that Nadine Velazquez you lot go on about was on as well. Plus they said that Donny Rovers hitting the bar 3 times last week in Crossbar Challenge wasn't a record, because we'd done the same plus a couple of other clubs. Thought we'd hit it twice on two different occasions?

Agree on LotSW and Little Britain though, the USA one (what I saw of it) was rubbish.

 

[BrettieAngell]

We did hit the bar twice OBL.

 

[HUTTON]

We've hit twice on 2 occasions.

Petts and Cole first time

That's what I thought, so they obviously didn't bother to check that whoever it was that contacted them saying we'd done it three times was right.

Smallville. Sorry chaps, but Kristen Kreuk's only guesting in this the 8th season, and Chloe Sullivan's being screwed over by the new writers, so the only good reasons to watch this show are now as good as gone. Should've stopped at 5 and have done.

Tempted to say 24 too, but I'll give season 7 a chance.

Lost...enought said!!

 

[Dave of the Match]

Eastenders? They can't think of any decent story lines any more.

I gave up watching 2 years ago.

 

[jassyfa1]

Jeremy Kyle show, chav comes on who had beaten/left /cheated on his missus. Slagging match for half an hour, then next couple comes on for same reason.

 

[Ulysses]

All soaps.

My sodding Family

1) Eastenders - that happy soap where everyday is fun filled in albert square and where of course story lines are never repeated annually!

2)Little Britian - should of stopped after first season.

3) Lost - WTF!

4) Simpsons - may cause some arguement but the new ones are just not as funny anymore. Should stop now while still on top.

5) Big Brother - Aussie's have go it right with ending it and Britain should follow. First one was watchable as it was different and interesting but now it is like watching paint dry on growing grass. End it.

6) The whole of channel 5 - what is the point of this channel?

Good call on BB, way past its best. However, without channel 5, we wouldn't get Neighbours!

The Simpsons is nowhere near as strong now as it was in its early-mid 1990s heyday. With you on that one.

A little unfair on five though. A good channel if you're in to US sports, plus the forthcoming 'Paul Merton in India' series, if it's as god as the one he did in China, should be well worth watching.
