Team writers are not always too great. One example being the decline of The Simpsons, series 1-4 were excellent, and as the writers constantly changed the episodes lost there wittyness and just began being crazy in my opinion.

Also Malcolm in the Middle is worth a mention in good American TV.

No...  :down:

Eddie was the best sit-com dog EVER!

Dammit shanks!

Frasier comes on in about an hour or so and now it wont be as fun to watch anymore!  :angry:



I hope you're happy.

But in all seriousness.

Best dog on TV.

Well whatever the state of british TV i dont think anyone can deny our films are becoming bigger than the US and lets not forget the classics Only Fools and Horses and Red Dwarf, i agree at the the minute our TV at the minute sucks but we still rule when it comes to classics !

When it comes to comedy i think were the best, i think we are the only ones in the world who can sit down and laugh at ourselfs, its just a shame that now we dont come up with the creativeness were capable of in our own TV companies. Everything now is reality TV and i for one dont care for that kind of thing, come dancing, love island, big brother please shove it up your :censored: I WANT MY TV BACK !!!!

I have to agree with you. There is too much reality TV on at the moment. Everyone on here knows that I'am a fan of BB, but this year it was poo. It should have been called the Pete and Nikki show........

But I think British TV in general has gone down the pan. You still have the soaps, but what else is there really. I know we have things like the Bill (which I enjoy watching), but what else. I seen a trailer for things coming on in the next couple of months, but nothing caught my eye. Gone are the days of Monty Python, Tales of the unexpected and The professionals. And its hello the Lost and 24 etc. (I'm not a fan of either, sorry) So I think I'll continue channel hoping for the rest off my life and hope I dont miss something good :laugh:
