What do you want to see less of on TV in 2009?

[Husky]

I'm fed up with smug, highly-paid TV presenters introducing items on how to survive the recession.

I`m sick of seeing people I`ve never even heard of before making idiots of themselves just to be on the telly or to bump up thier talentless career because they can`t bare to be forgotten, if of course they do happen to have been famous in the first place that is!



Some people are sado`s. You wouldn`t see people like Sir Attenbourgh in the bloody jungle would you? (Richard, not David, I mean you WOULD expect David to be there wouldn`t you! The REAL jungle though!).



I can`t imagine him or say Michael Caine sitting with a bunch of desperardoes in the BB house! No, why? Because thier fame holds up through the work that they have done, if you like them are not!



These people don`t DO any work they just sit around and chat, bitch and show off thier enormous egos! And the British public let them.



Well Ive had enough! I don`t watch these programmes but somehow I don`t seem to get away without having it all pushed down my throat while looking for something descent to watch on t.v



Rant over. Sorry folks!

Less War and economic downturn. Peace and prosperity for all, I say (I know dream on....)

[narabdela]

Celebrities.

Hi.

Less spoilers in the press and on screen. So that people who do want to watch certain programmes, do not have their enjoyment ruined by knowing what is to happen.

Football matches.

Simon Cowell.

Why are you all asking for the impossible. You know it'll be more of the same 'because that's what viewers want'. Or are TV broadcasters just filling up huge spaces of time with cheap programming. How about returning to just six and a half hours a day of TV.

Suits me, as long as its quality!

[thatllbetheday]

Ah there lies the rub. But the fact is more TV has not meant more quality programmes. It's the rubbish that has expanded. And I'm sure we all have different ideas on what 'quality' TV would mean.

Are you saying you watch more than that?



The amount of garbage filling 24 hour television is not worth the electricity. Most of it is mind-numbing and intelligence insulting.

[thatllbetheday]

No I don't watch more. I can't find enough programmes to fill up six and half hours a week (leaving movies out of the equation). But I have watched TV from the mid-1950's and programmes being broadcast in those days were a great deal more compelling than now

Exactly! Its only at Christmas we get a run of good classic films, and no I`m not say that all classic films are good and most modern ones are rubbish. But I`m sure people know what I`m getting at. There seems to be a bit less of this reality crud on this week and more drama.

[julian_craster]

No more FLOG IT shows



No more COOKERY shows



No more PROPERTY shows



No more Dumb QUIZZES with contestants who are not required to know anything....

We rarely find any decent drama to watch on TV ..... we have tried to make it past more than a couple of episodes of a variety of programmes but nearly always end up watching dvds. The more recent rare exceptions I have liked being .... Life on Mars, Wallander, The Way We Live Now, State of Play, Messiah, George Gently (despite Martin Shaw), Rebus and The Vice. Mrs Bat has a liking for some of the costume dramas but that's about it, apart from wildlife, art and history programmes.

Which most of us already own. Original programming is scarcer than good actors in Eastenders. Every time I flick through the channels its "100 Best X Moments." with the same rent-a-gobs, wearing the same clothes as the last time they were asked". re-made game shows with insipid presenters and screaming audiences, swear-fest sitcoms and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.



Rather depressing, isn't it? Thank God for Mrs Casper and a DVD collection

LESS OF NICOLAS SARKOZI ON TV !!, but it's impossible because he almost owns the public channels !! ( Berlusconi teached him )( But shush !...I can only post that because I'm on a foreign site. )

For me it's not really a case of who or what I want to see less of on TV next year as I simply don't watch (or listen to on't Wireless) the so called 'celebs' or BB/Jungle,pop-factor, etc: I cannot abide, even a programme I would dearly love to view such as Film 08



I'd like to see Julie Peasgood in a consumer/chat type programme, all she seems to do is voice-overs........she's lovely!
