What has happened to televison over the years?

Question

There never seems to be anything on anymore. Well not worth watching anyway.

Answer 1

Totally agree, I asked this question before too, tv shows are just churning out these days and you don't have enough time to keep up, before when a new programme was coming on you'd know about it and look forward to seeing it whereas now theres too much to choose from. Also theres nothing new, it just seems as if reality tv is taking over and what I grew up watching dosn't really exist anymore.
Bring back The Wonder Years!!

Answer 2

Soap keeps girls (except me because the station was unwatchable in my teens) to the televison just incase the week long drama happens next show it take another 4 day to do so. By that time a new drama start

Reality television has gone to far puting on silly show like Big ______.

Pay t.v buy out good show leaving free to air with junk and the sport that the goverment stop them from taking

I do like some reality show like mole and amazing race.
I also love watch cricket

Answer 3

yeah, it's so poor. I would rather save £130 a year on licence fee, see a 2 minute ad break after each programme, and have the BBC privately funded. It's a great idea the BBC, but so outdated now,can't afford to keep up. I think British comedy is awful too, aside from Extras/Office/Royle family and only fools, it's just so primaive and unfunny NOW, not saying blackadder, red dwarf and monty python wasn't funny in the day, but modern telly in the uK is shocking. I love all the yank sitcoms, so brilliantly written, scrubs etc ... awesome, we need to get some talent back in this country

Answer 4

There's nothing worth watching anymore cause its the same story lines over and over again. I think everyone has run out of new ideas. The eprfect example is Home and Away. Han't anyone else noticed that the same storylines have been repeated like three times now, and its getting really annoying.

Answer 5

There is just too much reality t.v. BB has run its course
now and has upset a lot of people over 'rascist' remarks.
But honestly I was more offended by Kenga with that
bottle....It makes people react in ways they normally
wouldn,t - all in the name of telly and being famous.
I,m no prude but I work with children and a lot of them love
BB.
We have all these channels and I usually end up watching
either 1 - 5 - I agree with you - not much worth watching. Get the Scrabble out.

Answer 6

TV is better than ever. It's just, there's too much choice, and it can't keep up with peoples expectations. Old people tell me that years ago they used to watch nearly anything, because they had no choice and low expectations.

Answer 7

ah the revolution of choice..
it was only 25 years ago when there were only 3 channels and bbc 2 would shut down in the afternoon...
now it's watered down tv american style with 1000 channels with nothing but crap

Answer 8

since pcs have come into the home television viewing has gone down the pan,everything is interactive and reality nowa days.they should charge us less if we watch tv less,im sure they could do it that way like pay to view sort of thing..bring back the good tv and get rid of reality tv.

Answer 9

the explosion of reality tv has dummed down tv it is cheaper to produce esp when there is phone voting drama is very expensive to produce with a average 12 hr day only producing 3 mins of tv

Answer 10

British telly has been easily overtaken by American programming as the best in the world.
