What tv shows would you cancel?

[FurForksSake]

There are so many long running boring tv shows that dominate the schedules and the budgets of the channels. What would you get rid of? Yes I’m bored.

The one show - first against the wall
Pointless
house of games - Richard osman is leaving and they’ve surely had every “celebrity” twice
Strictly - give us a two year break, minimum
Bake off - again, we need a bit of a break, though I will watch it
Britain’s got talent - please no more
master chef - it’s just so dull watching the same challenges again and again. Either totally revamp the format or give up
The Apprentice - enough.
Celebrity antiques road trip
Flog it
great British menu

it is all just so repetitive and boring. I know no one under thirty watches tv, but you can see why?!

I must say that having Masterchef and Great British Menu on at the same time is a bit annoying.

💯 agree

@CarlaH it’s so much air time, we really don’t need both (or either…) at the same time. I just don’t know who plans it all.

Mrs Browns Boys - just why?

Oh good god, is Mrs browns boys still on?!

Death in Paradise what a load of rubbish.

anything with Ant and Dec in it.

Mrs Brown's Boys. How this got to be shown in the first place is a complete mystery!

That’s what I was going to say. I mean who do they do favours for, why do they keep getting jobs. Unfathomable.

I agree about Bake off it is dire now although i like the celeb version.

Can we also bin off comic relief and children in need? The celebrities that appear can all donate and we won’t need to be guilted into buying some tat with the promise of a short sketch sandwiched between tragedies.

Good job there are millions of channels and streaming services so we don’t have to watch things we don’t like 🤷‍♀️😆

Masterchef
Bargain Hunt
Homes Under The Hammer
Pointless
Tipping Point
The One Show
Anything with Michael McIntyre in it; deeply unfunny prick

Love Island
The One Show

I would add in:
Love Island
Im a Celebrity
Made in Chelsea & other iterations
and most soaps tbh

Call the midwife. Run its course. Xmas 'special ' was dire

Anything with Ant & Dec, Alan Carr, Claudia Winkleman and other "non" slebs.

Most game shows particularly pointless, weakest link, etc.

Most UK written "dramas" which usually take at least six episodes to tell a simple story that could have been done in one, filled out by lots of pointless/irrelevant back stories, long lingering images of cars travelling on country roads, lots of lingering "tear" shots, etc.

Dragons' den, Apprentice, etc.

Most soaps, particularly the awful Corry.

Homes under the hammer, antiques road trip, all other tedious antique programme.

Britains' got talent and other talent shows.

Probably Pointless, then I wouldn't have to sit through it each evening as DH likes it. Not bothered about anything else as I can avoid it

Eastenders - about as far removed from everyday life in East London as you can get.

Saturday Kitchen/Brunch whatever it’s called - mindnumbing C list guests promoting their latest book or show with “chat” that could be from the 1980s.

Line of Duty - overblown ridiculous drama with serious faces and shouting.

A “celebrity” goes abroad ie, a road trip around Spain, cycling in the Alps, a culinary tour of India with hilarious scenes in a market place etc, so dull.

I’m getting pretty sick of everything having to be a celebrity version. Much prefer regular people on quizzes and documentaries etc. So celebrity anything, I suppose.

All the above, plus Goggle Box. A TV programme where you WATCH OTHER PEOPLE WATCHING TV AND COMMENTING ON IT 🤯

not to be a killjoy but why do they bother you? I wouldn’t cancel anything because someone must be enjoying it and I don’t have to watch if I don’t want to.

I never watch anything I don't want to watch so wouldn't feel the need to cancel them, although surely BGT has run its course by now?

Tipping Point. The constant “fire it up” has me nearly tipping over the edge.

And any celebrity travel programmes, like that with Bradley Walsh and his son. Why can’t they look for “normal” families who would never ordinarily get the chance to roadtrip/visit places? Where’s the sense of normality?

I only watch programmes I enjoy so I wouldn't cancel any that others like watching.
