Daytime TV
Daytime TV officially sucks. It officially sucks, unless you have an intellect lower than the average Yr 11 student. Lets take a look at the wonderful offerings for Wednesday 10th July:
To start the viewing proceedings, Kilroy kicks off with some interesting discussions, such as "I had my husband's baby" and "My daughter isn't smoking and taking drugs". Obviously these people are so abnormal, not having affairs and injecting themselves. After this educational feast is Big Strong Boys- I have no idea what this is and I never want to know. It sounds like a gay porn film to me. Mentioning no names that begin with G. Real Rooms follows this, where people are ridiculed for there taste; even though it was done my Lawrence "Whadda you mean gay?" Lewellen-Bowen in a previous daytime TV show in 1998. I remember it well. Wipeout, with that orange host, Bob Monkfish is one of the mornings brainteasers. Watch this and it will help you out of the dole queue. I watched this thinking it may somehow be involved in WipEout, but unfortunetly not. Which reminds me, anyone want to give me a PS2? For the nosey, Through the Keyhole gives people a chance to sneer at other peoples houses. I usually avoid this program by making a Pot Noodle or two over an open fire- this takes longer and keeps me away from the TV for a bit. The New starts at one, so I flick over to BBC2. Nothing on. ITV. Channel 4 has ER showing: bad american acting stars in this wonderful comedy, set in, of all places an Emergency Room. Hence the name ER. These TV producers are just so clever really. Kids TV also offers several hours of entertainment. One of the best shows at the moment is "Don't Eat The Neighbours", but unfortunetly nevers involves cannibals moving in next door or violent bloody rituals which involve the cooking of a Homo Sapien. Also on offer in the kids tv arena is Sex and Shopping on Channel 5 at 3.30 in the afternoon. This cute show involves the constant battle between small badly drawn characters known as 'sexemon'. A classic if there ever was one. What makes daytime TV wonderful for me is shows like Trisha, Ricki Lake and Jerry Springer. Not only are they absolutely hilarious, the constant nattering can send you to sleep in a matter of minutes. This not only passes the time, but helps you catch up on the sleep you missed out on after staying on the net writing articles like this.
