1234080 2011-09-28 03:24:00 With the proliferation of options for recording devices that faciliate time-shifting, who really cares when any particular program is on? We watch mainly pre-recorded stuff on TV (with the bonus that you can FFWD through the ads) and otherwise turn the damn thing off. johcar (6283)

1234084 2011-09-28 07:35:00 Two of my favourite soaps are Coronation St and Shortland St. I get fed up with the endless cooking, fat people, house renovation, sick people programs. Where has the good humour gone? As for Coro St being dull, UK is gloomy most of the time, like New Zealand, but has its sunny days. I like the British humour. I do not like the American and Kiwi slap stick humour, except for Billy T James who was great! Now we have the Rugby to contend with. mzee (3324)

No more so than any other TV program that people watch. Why do Coro St fans seem to think that they are something special and have to bee spoon fed it at the same time same channel year after year when the rest of us just get shows canceled or moved without warning..?? In AU it's on pay TV..

1234089 2011-09-28 21:20:00 It's not Coro being shafted, it's the viewers being shafted, as there's now even more bile on before and after the news.

Can't say I like Coro or the cooking shows, or any of the other mindless 'competition' / 'next top' shows.

If it wasn't for a collection of recorded stuff I'd have little use for a TV at all any more. Certainly have less and less need for the aerial!
