Geordie Shore

[Thedelldays]

Having seen a snippet of this. I don't know what I hate more...

 

Myself for watching a bit or the actual programme.

 

This with the other crap new realty tv shows are a new low in peoples quest for celebrity.

 

Horrible telly

[Lighthouse]

I think it's the recession. We seem to be pushing out the cheapest crap imaginable and labeling that entertainment. Geordie Shore and the like probably replaces Big Brother as lowest of the low, but even on the major channels there's a lot of crap. Endless cookery shows and dancing/singing tallent contests. X-Factor must be every producers wet dream. Cowell and Cole's wages must be by far the biggest expense on that. All you need is TV studio with some bright lights and a bunch of half-tallented half-wits.

 

I don't honnestly know how to feel about these shows. Half of me is really irritated, the other half is just plain astonished about how any human being can be entertained by such dross. They've been doing XF in various guises for well over a decade now and yet still people tune in religiously to find out which HMV checkout assistant will be completely forgotten about in 18 months* time.

 

*It would be 4 months but for some reason we've now got 'Dagenham Stacy' advertising Iceland and Jedward on the Eurovision F**king Song Contest. The paralympics of the music industry.

 

P.S. Mr Cowell, on the off chance you are reading this; yes you're right. There are tallented singers out there. There is a world of difference between being a half decent singer and being a musician. There is a reason people like Olly Murs, JLS and Alexandra Burke were undiscovered. They're crap. JLS are just an pointless rehash of Blue, Westlife, Five and all the other boy bands we got bored with in 2003. Burke apparently needs a covered version of Boney M to get a hit and Olly Murs is possibly the most BORING entity I have ever been exposed to.

I think it's reflective of a fairly braindead society - I'm convinced people are getting thicker.

People are f*cking morons. Every channel is clamouring to jump in on this 'regional reality' bandwagon that was kicked off by MTV.

 

People will always watch this sh!t because people will always not know any better. It kills brain cells.

Mrs watched that made in chelsea programme last night and in the end I actually had to shut my eyes and put my fingers in my ears because it was winding me up so much.

What amazes me is that people are willing to humiliate themselves on these programmes. The producers deliberately pick a proportion of absolute no-hopers so that we can all have a good laugh at them.

 

And as for the people on Jeremy Kyle, where do they find them?

Everyone who proclaims to their mates or on an internet forum how much they dislike these programmes is, in their own small way, helping more of them to be made by adding to the "buzz" around Geordie Shore, Made in Chelsea etc. etc.

 

Brand awareness equals bigger ratings; doesn't matter if half the people watching it don't like it at all and are just watching to wind themselves up (seems to me that a lot of viewers enjoy getting angry at sh*t like this that doesn't matter...and if it's occurred to me then it's certainly occurred to the marketing people).

 

If you truly don't want rubbish like this being made and want to force TV executives into making something half-decent, then opt out completely and choose to remain oblivious to it.
