Can be anything (but not infomercials or ads!)


For me, has to be Good Morning (screens 9am-12pm Mon-Fri, TV1). Seems to be a very 'fluffy' program to me - very little content. :2cents:

And all those crap re-runs that means the cancellation of genuinely good shows like Jericho.

650832 2008-03-19 08:14:00 So, if these programs are such a waste of time, why watch them?
There's a button on the top right of your remote that solves this problem. When you push it, you no longer have to put up with the rubbish, and it releases you to do other more interesting things - like browsing here.

I don't.

But others do, and that's how good shows lose ratings and get canceled.

Show like that.
If only you could have affairs like that and get away with it every three months :rolleyes:

Or get stabbed twice in the guts twice, and coming through each time. Or having an escaped prisoner on your ass.

Yeah, I've been watching too much H&A. Not my fault - my mom's watching it, and I have to watch it as I slump on the couch after coming home from uni.

But Jericho will be back :D as it got un-cancelled, but the question is when will we get it here in NZ.
