What's happened to Television

[Mups]

What's happened to telly these days?  Nothing but repeat films week after week.
Aren't new films being made any more?
 
I think  'Rocky'  must have been on every night last week for a start,  and I can't abide that man, Stallone.
Now they are starting on Harry Potter all over again . . .  and again . . .

And how about this.    I have just read in the paper that Rylan Clark is working on a new series, which should be shown next year on Channel 4.

It sounds like a cross between Love Island and Porn!

It's set in a villa in the Mediterranean and it involves 10 young Virgins who are  'willing to romp on camera.'

Apparently, after much searching,   Rylan has finally managed to  find 10 contestants willing to live entirely in the nude for his new show - 'Dating Naked. 
Participants have to be virgins - or so they say.

The article says:  " They will be guided by sexologists how to learn intimacy skills, face their fears, and find enough confidence to lose their virginity on camera."


Why??   What's the matter with these people?  

It will be just another programme full of surgically enhanced, pouty lipped, plastic boobed women willing to make fools of themselves,  with gropey young blokes out for what they can get,   just for dosh.

And for those who may enjoy this sort of thing,  would you be happy if it was your daughter?

TBH I'm going through a non TV period.  Over the last couple of months (possibly longer), the only thing I've chosen to watch is a couple of McDonald & Dodds.  

My MiL tends to have her TV so loud that when we go there for Sat tea or Sun lunch, there's no point trying to read as the noise makes it impossible to concentrate, so I kinda half watch whatever's on.  No idea what it is though, 'cos not really interested.

OH and son watched the cricket 100 last night, they were happy.  Grandson disappeared, x-box was calling, the rest of us watched some god awful film. Don't even know what it was called.

I miss the Olympics, quite enjoyed bits of it.

Rylan Clark was lucky to find 10 virgins.. !!

We record what we want to watch as living on a farm you never know what's going to happen next. You can guarantee if you sit down to watch a film or whatever you will have to go and see to something.
But your right, there's not much of interest being shown.

I binned my TV licence three years ago and have not missed it at all.

I tend to watch stuff on my iPad rather than the box .

I routinely watch GB News and occasionally 'Talk'.

On an evening, Marge sometimes finds a decent film.  Having said that, we rarely watch any of the traditional channels (BBC, ITV, 4, 5), except Classic Coronation Street which was made when they had interesting characters and storylines, but find more of interest on Netflix and Prime.  
We usually avoid things which include boring and repetitive adverts.

Ah, the old joke about the Irishman who wrote to tampax, ...

"I've been using your product for three months, and I still can't ride a bike, play tennis, now swim"

Damn equality and all that stuff,  that is just plain wrong to me.   

They'll have women talking about their prostate problems next!

Another thing I hate is that advert if a woman sitting on the toilet,  drawers round her ankles,  showing everyone how much her panty liners can absorb.     
She pours some liquid on to a pad to show it doesn't leak,  but why has she got to be sitting on the loo to do this??    I think that ad is horrible.

You women do watch some strange television.

Like Klondy I binned my TV licence a few years ago so I don't watch any live telly. 
As for the adverts, I just don't know why they have to advertise Tampax at all.  Everyone knows what they're for and where to buy them.  End of.

I watched a good film last night on Netflix called US Marshalls with Tommy Lee Jones
