I consider the vast majority of television output is unadulterated shit, merely intended to pacify the herd and other fuckwits, ESPECIALLY soaps and reality shows featuring desperate talentless wannabes who think that fame is theirs by right and not earnt. However I DO watch a lot of documentaries - and I occasionally like a bit of comedy such as Spaced, Father Ted, Bill Bailey and Eddie Izzard and I like 'Futurama' - quality programme!! (I'm not completely po-faced you know...).
