Having a bit of a rant about TV, what do you think?

Does anyone else get very annoyed when on such programmes as Grand Designs, and Property Ladder (in UK) the presenters return to previous projects to update the viewers but spend 90% of the programme repeating what has already been shown....its just a repeat, why don't they call it that?Having a bit of a rant about TV, what do you think?
Yeah, that's one that ticks me off, too. A total waste of a program if there's no significant new data. I feel the same about most UFO shows. And they make it even more insulting when they won't give you the tiny tidbit of new information until the very end of the show... But, then again, that's why there are so many channels, isn't it? When I don't like something on one channel, I can switch to something else on another channel... love modern tech!Having a bit of a rant about TV, what do you think?
i think they are called programme fillers... and yes, what a waste of our time!
i think you should get a free tv license with every 5 pounds spent at tescos
agreed
totally agree with you and it is very annoying
I agree with you 100%, It is very annoying
ah yes the joys of low budget tv they get to make a second programme using 90% of the first one.





YOU ARE NOT ALONE MY FRIEND!

Personally that really pisses me off. Bunch of wankers.
The same happens on a lot of CH4 programmes. Place in the sun or the off shoots of it gives a preview of the programme as it starts. Repeats part of the first section when the adverts have been shown and repeats again towards the end. It is just padding to make it seem a long programme and fill the half hour slot.


Have you also noticed that Coronation Street is really only a 20 minutes programme. It starts five minutes after the allotted time, has a 4 minute advert time and the opening sequence takes almost a minute. Perhaps the trade descriptions act should be applied.
Yes i agree that pisses me off too! There was a prime example of it last night with Grand Designs, they should realise that it puts people off! Show us something new!!
