Bad British TV Shows?

RikiRude · 05-17-2007, 06:31 PM

I was curious, what shows do they have in the UK that just plain blow? Because in the US we have channels like MTV, and they have all those road rules and horrible shows like that. I'm just asking because it seems like I'm a bigger fan of more BBC shows then I am of US shows. Some of my favorites are the Office, Extras, the Mighty Boosh, Young Ones, Bottoms, hmm that's all that comes to mind.

Also I don't know if I think it's genious or if I think it's rubbish, but only having 1 or 2 seasons of shows kind of stinks, but at the same time, I don't think all US sitcoms need to have 7-10 seasons either.

UK shows are just a watered down version of US TV. The Young Ones and Bottom RULE you should watch some Monty python you'll like that.

Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps- awful.

All soaps- awful.

Also, I think it's good some shows only do a couple of seasons, (Fawlty Towers, The Office), it keeps them funny and classic without going overboard and ending up making some crap material.

I may have to kill you first, for-

1) Defending Ultimate Force

2) For disagreeing with 'Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps- awful.

All soaps- awful.'

All the "reality" pish on Saturday evenings ("Any Shite Will Do" springs to mind).
The Bill.... total and utter gash: the cops break more laws than the criminals.
2 Pints of Lager & a Packet of Crisps.... bloody awful, predictable bile.
Soaps.... OMFG!
"Location, Location, Location" & all its bastard offspring!!!

I could go on & on & on.

The best thing on UK telly is Channel 4 News & the natural history stuff produced by the BBC.
