The most Depressing TV show i have ever seen


Recommended Posts

Todays Jerry Springer;

The horror, the horror.

Christ knows what damage the human gene pool must suffer due to them trailer park critters.

No wonder the world pulls of the odd mass extinction event.

I see Jerry as a warning prophet of our potential doom.

BBC Prime - All of it.

 

Unfortunately it's one of the few English channels I have. Up till ten o' clock in the morning it's fine - that's when the bairns programmes are on.

 

After that, it's a full day of lifestyle shows and dated sitcoms which weren't even funny first time around.

 

After a month of this garbage it goes full circle and starts from the beginning again. They gotta have something better in their archives!

 

The only saving grace is "The League of Gentlemen".

game shows - all of 'em

 

why is it thought to be entertaining to watch someone else win loads of money? :roll:

 

and even worse those mindless competitions designed so anyone with an iq of 2 can answer it and be ripped off by premium rate phone calls .....

I wonder where all these a**holes come from. not just the ones who come on to tell you about how she came down stairs to find her husband shagging the next doors Neighbours dog. Should I get a divorce?.

And if that wasn’t enough. How about all the ones, who come to pontificate to them. As if they were any better. It is TV by the morons for the morons

I had the misfortune to watch 'he Commander 'the other night (I couldnt be bothered to get up and look for the plinker) If I hadnt been so bone idle I would have changed channels! What a load of old tat. I have learned my lesson - always keep the plinker within reach...

snowed off work with bog all on telly I stopped on Jeremy Kyle show for a mo. The head line "Violent, drunken teenage relationship - but should we have a baby?"

These two Geordie doinks were on whining about each others violent habits and the general misery of their miserable lives while at the same time planning a family to bring them closer together.

 

JK - Do you beat her?

doink - Aye

JK - Do you know right from wrong?

doink - Aye

JK - Where do you get your money?

doink - Off me mam

JK - Do you think this is a proper environment to bring up a child in?

doink - No

JK - Why dont you use condoms then?

doink - If she gets pregnant, she gets pregnant

JK - What the hell is the matter with you?

doink - Nothing

JK - (to girl) do you think you should be having a baby brought into this situation?

girl doink - No, I dont

Jk - But you're going to?

girl doink - Aye

JK - For gods sake why?

girl doink - Cuz I luv im

:shock:

 

(Telly off)

No, no, no, Trout, you are indeed completely wrong there, i'm sorry to say. Sphagnum moss is actually quite pleasant, erm, i'd imagine, and readily accessable on any paet hill. Shredding your own draars is also an option. The Sun is already at maximum crap saturation and therefore useless.......not to mention the paper cuts. ooh! 8O

 

Ah, Njugle, you've just reminded me...

 

Last semester in journalism theory, our tutor asked us for the difference between the way the Sun and the Guardian report news. I replied that the Sun used emotive, subjective language, tended to sensationalise things...you know, that old chestnut. Anyway, tutor asked if I read the Sun. I replied that it was usually one of the only papers lying around the various staffrooms of my previous workplaces, but I'd never buy it - indeed I wouldn't use it as bog roll. He asked why, and one of my classmates piped up "It's not very absorbent..." and we all fell about laughing. The funniest bit was my classmate later posted a theory on WebCT about the Sun being very ink heavy and therefore it really wouldn't be that absorbent.

 

Anyway, I've gone off the subject a bit...

 

I don't watch a lot of telly any more so I can avoid what depresses / displeases me.

You're forgetting that Jeremy SHOUTS VERY LOUDLY at the doinks because he is a self righteous tosser.

 

The reasons he gets such simpletons on the show is

 

1) They need the money

2) They want the money

3) It's a badge of honour for the chav and ned species these days

 

If he got a halway sensible punter on the show they'd show him up for the sensationalist knob that he is.

Of the little I've seen of his crappy little telly slot; those are the only two attributes of his that I have ever been able to recall.

 

And please don’t forget the obsession when they bring out the old lie detector test yet againg but I would like to stick the lie detector probe that goes in Jeremy Kyles “Annus Horribilis†as Quoted by The Queen back in November 1992 . He would SHOUTS VERY LOUDLY then

I seen this programme today and although I agree that JK is a self righteous prat he does say some things to the likes of that two that were on today which are true. Most folk that go on this programme are lacking in a few brain cells that much is obvious. But I think the aftercare the programme offers is good if you believe that they get it.

I used to watch Jeremy Kyle and he does come across as very arrogant and self-righteous. If the people that go on that programme had more than 2 brain cells they'd be dangerous.

 

But I did like the councillor guy that was on the programme, he did come across as a very genuine man and I'd like to think that some of these idiots did get professional help and advice and maybe, just maybe one or two of them took it.

Did anyone else ever watch that programme Jennifer Saunders did with Tanya Byron - 'The Life and Times of Vivienne Vyle'? It was a darkly amusing send up of all things Jeremy Kyle-ish; in fact it was very difficult to take any daytime 'discussion' show seriously afterwards. (Mind you, Leigh Francis being Tricia had already done a lot to offset that possibility). The show was worth watching for Miranda Richardson's performance alone, as Vivienne's neurotically amoral producer.

 

Another one in the same vein was Channel 4's recent 'Dead Set'. Besides the highlight of Davina McCall getting her throat torn out, the funniest part of this story was the brutally real depiction of Big Brother both behind and in front of the cameras.
