ITV have sold out completely!

I was going to comment on this in the OP. I mean FFS, they're so nervous, shy and stupid - it's ridiculous.

"Hello"
"Hello, anybody there?"
"Hello???"
"Hello what's your name"

"O-O-O-Osama"

"Hi Osama how are you?"
"Where you from Osama"
"What's your answer?"

"Timewarp"

"Well done £1000 pounds. How do you feel"

"Good"

:mad:

its not that so much, more of the people that dont even know what they are phoning up for...

i was watching (if you can call it that) that vault one and the question was "name a location on a monopoly board" and some woman phoned up and didnt even know what she was meant to be doing!

and then one woman phoned up really really confident, and gave a wrong answer!!!

only 1 place had been taken already and people had no idea :mad:

its just totally dumb!
 
No I'm sorry it's worse when they're given the option of either the 4-digit code or the 5 buckets. For the love of God, which CRETIN would pick the 4-digit code!!?? - They do though.
 
What annoys me most is that the like of Quizmania are shown on a number of Satellite / Cable channels already, at the same time. We really don't need this crap on 'regular' channels too.
 
Yup - I concur. ITV have sold out to the con that is 60p/75p/whatever for the priveledge of speaking to a machine that just tells you to hang up and try again. Great. :rolleyes:

Of course, once they've made several times the value of the prize, they might let someone through. Just by way of research, I once listened to one of these things for close to a whole hour and they didn't take a single call, until about 60 seconds before the end of the show. How convenient.

One more reason for me not to want to watch ITV. :)
 
The games are a complete con too. I remember one time there was a screen of coloured circles with different weights numbered in them. You were supposed to add the kilograms.

The final answer was just something that seemed to be completely way off from what could realistically be calculated from the information given, it also took about 4 hours for someone to get the correct answer.

I'm pretty sure they just make an answer up and then pick someone after a certain length of time, I've seen no evidence to suggest there's actually a solution to any of the questions.

Classic example of an oxymoron :p

My TV only gets switched on whilst I'm eating nowadays - usually to watch the news.

I find most TV tedious and not very entertaining. Even Auntie Beeb is in rapid decline, there are far less quality dramas and documentaries nowadays as they try to compete for an audience which laps up utter drivel masquerading as entertainment. I don't think it's the TV companies' fault, they merely provide what the majority want to watch - it's not their fault the majority want to watch crap.

The thing is, its what people want! Was watching Grand Desgins last night and my housemate came in and immediately went upstairs stating it was a bit too 'high brow' - WTF???
 
Yeah one of my housemates took the pee out of me because i was watching some documentary on greener energy. WTF go away and watch some eastenders, coronation street or emmerdale!!
 
I was in the hospital yesterday, waiting for an appointment. The TV was showing The Jeremy Kyle Show. I was about 30 seconds away from choking myself to death on a year old copy of More magazine, when - thank goodness - I was called for my appointment.
 
10 years ago - 4 channels, broadcasting 5am till 2am = 84 hours of TV per day.

Now, 300 channels, 24 hours a day = 7200 hours of tv a day.

Its obvious that quality will go down as a result.

Maybe the OP should get Sky+ to record all the good stuff that gets crammed in between 8 and 11pm, and use it to spread it out during the other hours....

I tend to watch a lot of documentaries like last night i watched that morgan spurlocks 30days where this american christian guy spent 30 days as a muslim and it was a pretty good watch if you ask me, i can't see how someone can "take the pee" when they watch pap like west endbenders, corny street and who gives pap dale.

Getting back on topic and totaly agree that this sort of things should'nt be on normal TV channels. The TV regulators should sort it out as the only purpose of this kind of programme is to get easy money off the simple minded people who actualy phone up these idiotic shows, its just the same as the stupid txt's people used to get on there mobiles that they have won so and so and the automated telephone calls you would get on the mob or home.

Its just damn sleazy that a company such as ITV has gone to this level.
 
When you have broadband you don't need TV for entertainment



Although its damn annoying when watching frank skinner show on ITV and having to listen to that terrible theme tune... and of course, the endless adverts

There's no replacement for good TV programes in my opinion and i've had broadband for 5 or so years i think.

Broadband is great and provides great entertainment but it does'nt have the instantness as a weekly/daily watch ability as a TV would as you can just randomly flick through your TV or have a quick look on your TV Paper and get something to watch.

There should be some sort of popup blocker you can get for your TV to stop this kinda of crap late night TV quiz things where if your flicking through the channels it just skips it and save your the few seconds of your life not watching pap :p

That programme was great! I can't believe they moved it to ITV2. It means I can't watch it now because I don't have ITV2 on my bedroom TV.

"It's just you me and the game baby!"
