What an exciting week, eh? Have you had a good one? We?d like to say that we have, but that would be a massive lie. A lie as massive as saying that exercise and an healthy diet is the best way to lose weight. Or that Michelle McManus was the best person to win that series of Pop Idol. She clearly was, but only because everyone else was so bad that it made her look fantastic. Like the relationship between World and Kerry Katona.
The biggest lie that we've found out this week is that apparently controllers for the five terrestrial channels feel like they don't need to bother putting on enticing and great programming on and are settled to the fact that whatever they do decide to commission is, in fact, distinctly mediocre and hopes to fill in the gaping hours from one working day to the next with watered down scandal and froth where it could be filled with something that people would be excited to see and talk about the next day.
It's laziness that can't be countered because for every one program that is cancelled, there's hundreds of people clamouring for it to return; just like the ?furore? over the BBC canceling Something For The Weekend. It's clearly one of the worst things on the TV but people still want to show their support for it, even though Tim Lovejoy would take your letters of support, wipe his bum with them and then smile knowing that he can do this without recrimination. He's just ?that good.?
