Who’s noticed the dumbing down of TV? Well I have and I’m annoyed.
We have cable telly, but I think it’s the same on Freeview and Sky, the renaming of channels for the hard of thinking.
It started with ‘Dave’ I don’t know why that channel is called ‘Dave’ but it is and that’s ok. But sooner than you know it, there announcing new channels…only to be revealed as old channels being renamed. Stupidly.
For example, Eden…a channel about the earth. Roughly. Then we get Alibi, a channel dedicated crappy old police shows, then Blightly…a pile of shite relating to all matters UK.
Now, instead of UK History, we get ‘Yesterday’, soon I wonder, will get Discovery Science being called ‘Tommorow’. Mark my words, the folks that own TV channels think you are thick enough for it.
Tell you what, when they rename any of the porno channels ‘Tits’ or ' Ass' that is when I ditch the telly and start reading books.
I read a book once. Green it was.

Smiffy
There's too much dumbing down on television and radio! We are given the same old restricted formats of quizzes, cookery, celebrity challenges and comedy of embarrassment. Nothing much on any channels. I've gone back to watching Minder for a laugh and putting my own work on a blog!!
