I, like many people in Britain was surprised when I heard that James Corden was to host “The Late Late Show” and now that the programme has finally arrived in Blighty as part of Sky’s On Demand service, it’s even more perplexing as to why CBS chose this […]
During the late nineties when reality shows like “Big Brother” and “Pop Idol” increased in popularity, members of the public began saying “I want to be famous for nothing” rather than “I want to be the best at something” and this desire for undeserved fame slowly supplanted the […]
The show Gogglebox proves how far terrestrial television has fallen over the past decade and a half. Lost in a sea of Reality TV and motivated by low cost and high returns, Channel 4‘s best concept is for us at home to watch people on TV as they […]
Leigh Francis seems to be the type of comedian who masks his sexism and racism behind various cartoonish characters including that of “Keith Lemon”. Judging from his continual one-dimentional comedy however, it’s conveniently impossible to tell where Leigh Francis ends and Keith Lemon begins. Even as far back […]
If you judge the E! Channel by its programming, you can assume that their entire viewership consists of lame Reality TV-loving, Royal Family-grovelling, celebrity-obsessed, plastic surgery fiends. Thanks to the shows on this channel, the viewers at home have begun to respect falseness; you don’t need talent, you […]
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is one of the most uninteresting talk shows on television. The show is a mix of the terrible and the tedious, with Fallon exhibiting an ineptitude for nearly every aspect of the broadcast. Tune in and you’ll almost certainly witness him fluffing […]
Another Comedy Central Roast took place recently, and even though it was titled “The Roast Of Justin Bieber” it was once again a pretext to tell prejudicial jokes; not about Bieber’s ethnicity, but about the ethnicity of the “darker” celebs on and off stage. At the Justin Bieber […]
It’s that time of the year again. No, I don’t mean the coldest and most depressing month of the year… it’s Academy Award time! So roll out that blood-coloured carpet and keep your eyes transfixed to your nearest LED propaganda display unit, for tonight is the night when […]
It’s really depressing when someone you thought was cool becomes a dull version of their former self. Back in the nineties, Eddie Izzard was an almost genius stand-up, his surreal and disjointed narrative weaved in and out of history and religion, and his juxtaposed topics and odd situations […]
Remember when Jonathan Ross was kind of cool? Back in the nineties, he used to wear bright zoot suits, acted a bit anarchic, and his Channel X shows “The Last Resort”, “One Hour With Jonathan Ross”, and “Saturday Zoo” were some of the best shows on Channel 4. […]
From the opening scene of the Girls pilot episode, with Lena Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath gobbling down pasta like a deranged leach, we are introduced to the beige and banal world of the white, upper-middle-class, twenty-something New Yorker. With art almost imitating life, Hannah the wannabe writer sits […]
Nobody watches TV adverts any more. Thanks to DVR’s, we can all skip past any crappy ad, and in today’s world that means all television advertising. Aware of this fact, the Ad Execs now want you to see all the necessary information as you’re forwarding past, so they […]
‘It Was Alright In The 1970s’ is one of those cheap television shows which looks like it was created by a lazy git with no imagination. A lazy git who seems to love compiling old footage to form a shoddily put together documentary which is then inter-dispersed with […]
WHAT WENT WRONG WITH...?
