I personally couldn't care less what is on TV.. if I don't like a show I use that amazing button on the remote called 'channel changer' or if nothing on at all.... I use the other button ' turn the tv off'....

Amazing buttons those...

At night once kids are in bed, I prefer to turn the TV off and listen to music either radio or cd's...

People seem to rely far to heavily on tv for entertainment now...

That's an understatement big time, Fiery. I see many idiots spout what was on the idiot box as if it were their own.

people can watch as much tv as they wish, what gives you the right to judge how they use their time.

After a long days work some people like to relax and watch a bit of tv, it's their life

The chick on the channel 9 1 drives me crazy, but if i hit the mute button she's looking mighty fine tonight, just that stupid blue box with "caller every 30 secs" is hiding the good bits! If only re-positioning items on the screen was an option on the remote!

ahhhhh. My late night prayers answered. Phones are down so all rubbish on the screen is down, and she's doing some really lame improv to try and keep the show going! Even resorted to reading out useless facts on new zealand!

HA!!!!!!! I've been thinking the same thing! Seriously this has turned into some of the funniest tv i've seen all night. It's like nine's attempt at reality TV!!! Pushing each other around the studio on a trolley racing a stuffed monkey on a trolley!

Could get a tad more intersting of they made out too!

Maybe their phones should bust more often, got to wath 2 hot chicks flounder for about an hour, then it ends with the Drew carey show. Alls well that ends well.
