Absolutely.............NOTHIN!!!!! to quote the old song.
90% of it is either repeats, American PAP TV most of which seems to be involving really "hard" cops, or more likely CSI investigators who do all the tests, then go out and arrest the bad guys after a gunfight. How believable?
Then there's the reality shows.
Then there's the docusoaps.
Then there's the documentaries.
There is VERY LITTLE in the way of drama or films, unless you pay.
Sport, ditto.
And the rest is made up of news, local news and chatshows about news.......oh and so-called celebrities

+1...... the story lines are more believable and original than half the ****e on telly and the action is far more entertaining LOL
But seriously.... there is nothing on the TV at the moment that makes me think "oh my god I have to be in to watch that" I used to be like that with Top gear but even that got a little bit "if I'm there I'm there, if not, never mind" towards the end of the last series

To be honest cable/sky whichever you have is just as pants these days full of repeat channels.Bravo was a good channel years ago and gradually went pants,liked the comedy channel 3rd rock from the Sun.Even the extreme sports channel has gone pants really,Discovery Adventure race was good,Dakar rally,Documentaries,Travel,National Geographic,sci fi,Dirty sanchez,Jackass,Travel Sick was a good one,louis Theroux.
Rarely watch tv now may have a flick through now and then...

Mock The Week
Have I Got News For You
QI
Never Mind The Buzzcocks
8 Out of 10 Cats
Live at The Apollo
Grand Designs (although wearing thin now)
Waking The Dead
Silent Witness
Any natural history, so Frozen Planet at the mo.
Anything factual where I might learn something.
Top Gear (not as good as it was or could be).
I know the missuse watches X Craptor and Strictly *** Prancing on a w/e when I'm not there, thankfully. And during the week she makes me suffer Kirsty Allsopp and a variety of housey decorating type things which I use as a chance for a snooze. Hated that posh bint doing up rooms on a 'budget' recently, where the budget was £30-50k
I don't mind Beany, but the rest of it is tired.
We have a pretty big DVD collection, and another few hundred films on a media drive, so if there's nothing on all 57 channels then we have options.

Just looking at the tv guide for tonight.
The only thing i may watch is Alan Carr-Chatty man.
As for the rest.
Stricly come boring, nah, not for me
Z-factor, format is becoming a bit stale, and there is way too much hype.
I'm a non-entity, get me out of here. Can bear Ant and Dic.
Downturn Abbey, i'm not past it yet.............................
Alternatively, put on Biffy Clyro.

Nothing.
I struggle to find anything worth watching on the box these days. Tbh life is too short to follow even some of the better series. Do something more constructive.

The thing on BBC2 about the A380 wing was good tonight, otherwise there's the thick end of **** all else 
University Challenge, Grand Designs, Fresh Meat, and Jools Holland are the only things I look out for
Oh, and Frozen Planet
