TV is just the same..
1) UKTV now can be summarized in a few words for daytime- antiques, auctions, D.I.Y, property. In the evening it can be summarized by 'judge panel show'. X Factor, strictly come dancing, that Sound of music thing, figure skating celebrity whatever. Its all the same thing, its still a judge panel show where one guy plays the Mr Nasty Simon Cowell type, and someones booted.
2) Maybe the American shows can offer some relief. But not really ....How many USTV shows are based around the premise of 'young person with extraodinary abilities who must have to cope with real problems (family, relationships etc.) and not let anyone know their secret.' Shows that apply to this rule
Buffy
Ghost Whisperer
Alias
Smallville
Charmed
Sabrina The Teenage Witch
Point Pleasant
Dark Angel
I know why its all the same though. TV competition is so cut-throat that when a channel lands a popular show, its imitated by others, or they flog the idea to death. But how much longer??? please!
