Dear Australian TV networks,
1) Enough with the Reality TV shows, already. Seriously. "Australia's Best Psychic"? If that's not scraping the bottom of the barrel, I'm seriously frightened about what unexplored steaming pile of shit is going to be foisted on us next.
2) Stop treating your viewers with contempt and start your damn TV shows on time. It's getting fucking annoying to tune into a channel at 8 30 wanting to see the latest NCIS episode only to find out that your lame-ass reality TV show is still running. Even worse, the lame ass reality TV show ends up to a half hour later than advertised. Given that these shows are usually pre-recorded, these sorts of overruns amount to nothing more than a shitty way to try to lure people into watching a shitty show and artificially inflate your viewer numbers.
Thank goodness that most TV here in Australia is free-to-air otherwise I'd have cancelled my cable subscription and sold the TV by now...
Specialists are people who know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing. Generalists are people who know less and less about more and more until they know nothing about everything. I'm somewhere in the middle.
