Turn Off... The Leftovers

8/17/2014

 
http://www.christianpost.com/news/the-leftovers-will-the-new-series-affect-how-the-secular-world-views-christianity-124122/
by Xavier Gonne

The Leftovers is a HBO (hurrah!) show about people who disappeared in the Rapture (boo!) written by Damon Lindelof of LOST and Prometheus fame (boo!). Problem is, it’s not about people who were Raptured away. It’s about very stupid people making very stupid decisions in the face of a couple of mysteries which, like LOST before it, have no hope of being answered.

Turn Off! "I Wanna Marry Harry"

7/23/2014

Do you really ‘Wanna Marry Harry’? Sounds a bit like tune from the nineties which never quite made it… ITV, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to take on Fox’s answer to The Bachelor. But wait, how many British bachelors would twelve American girls know off the top of their heads…

Detestable TV: Dating Shows

2/14/2014

There is nothing more annoying in this world than dating shows. This has nothing to do with being single, nor does it have anything to do with being less desirable but this corner of detestable television is particularly grating. And what’s worse is that they have been going on for a long time, parading a bunch of singletons on television because they couldn’t find a way to meet a lover without the glaring lens and studio lights staring down at them.

Detestable TV "Ancient Aliens"

1/22/2014

By Georgia Thompson

This is a deep seeded, passionate hatred of mine. The prerogative of the geek is to be able to lose ourselves in a world of complete fantasy in such a way as to fully immerse ourselves and empathise with the fictional, to be fully enthusiastic without fear of judgement. At the same time, a general rule for geeks is that we tend to be pretty smart. Not to toot our own horns, but we can lose ourselves in these fictions because at the end of the day, that's what we know they are. Fiction.

Detestable TV: "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here"

11/17/2013

So here we are again, another year and another batch of “celebrities” have been conned, blackmailed and begged their way back onto TV. What would the build up to Christmas be if not punctuated with these wonderful moments when you see celebrities you hate choking on a kangaroo testicle or a 3 month old rotting egg?

So along with the usual mix of terrible soap actors/actresses/band members/models we have the 90’s legend Alfonso Ribeiro, best known as Carlton, Will Smith’s nerdy step brother in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and Olympic Gold Medallist Rebecca Adlington, two people who actually don’t fit the usual Z list we’ve come to expect…

Detestable TV - Bates Motel

9/25/2013

By Cookie 'N' Screen 

There seems to be a new obsession sweeping the television nation; backstory. And not just any backstory either; backstory of a serial killer set in modern settings. After all, the Hannibal television series by Bryan Fuller have somewhat delighted fans and brought new ones to the Lecter fandom. Hannibal has a perfect balance between character development, tantalising and beautiful horror and some strong acting.  With the success of Hannibal and plans for an American Psycho and Man On Fire television shows, movie based television shows are all the range.

Detestable TV - Escape to the Country

4/23/2013

Enter Escape to the Country, the BBC’s daytime show dedicated to helping hard working people find the country house of their dreams. So what happens on this show? A couple or family is selected by the show, this couple or family will be wanting help and expertise in moving house into the country. They will give a list of requirements to the team, things like, we can’t spend more than this, we have to be this close to a school, we need a large driveway etc. (a list of requirements is something I am sure the team behind Escape to the Country never actually glance at, because every single house they show has some serious issue that usually prevents them from making an offer on it). The team will then show them three houses, two picked for them and one super spooky mystery house…

Detestable TV - Loose Women

4/16/2013

By Alex Doust

As a single male, I think I am biologically programmed to detest this waste of airtime. So what is Loose Women? Loose Women is a lunchtime topical show, where a group of four interchangeable middle-aged women interview C-list celebrities and “discuss the day’s topics”. So why am I so opposed to this show?

Detestable TV - The X-Factor

3/26/2013

By Beth Rogers

Saturday night family television has evolved a lot since I was a child. Back then Big Brother was a ‘social experiment’ and not a springboard for Z list celebrities, and Fame Academy was competing with Pop Idol for the most heart warming contestant, (for anyone whose interested Lemar and Will Young are still battling for this title).

Detestable TV - South Park

3/19/2013

By Alex Doust

Lots of people will look at this and think “What? How can you not like South Park?” looking back to all the classic moments from the 16 years it’s been on the air. But I’m sorry, anyone who watches the latest series cannot deny that the program has gone on far too long…
