On behalf of the known universe, I must ask a simple question.
WHY?????
As if they haven't given us enough of it already...
Luckilly I am in Uni with no TV. \o/

or, you could all turn over to another channel, or better yet, turn off the TV. Complaining about it being ****e is all very well, but as to Why, it is a very successful program, and it makes money. Simple as that, without a media studies degree.

If it were that simple to avoid I'd be happy, it's the fact that every other ****er wont shut up about it for the next X weeks.

Even the BBC covered the winner on the news, which I am forced to fund.
Also, Channel 4 (I believe) receives government assistance (of an indirect kind), and in any case was granted their franchise of a scarce resource by the government.

they started another series here aswell (after a break of 2 years id guess, im not sure)
dont worry, if noone watches it anymore theyll stop sending it (or at least give you a break of a few years and then try again, just to realize that still noone is interested), its quite simple

Big Brother was good the first time, all the others after it sucked, and now its just a waste of space, both in the newspapers and TV.
Oh, as for 24, you can't just watch one of them without watching the episodes before it or you won't understand wtf is going on at all.

I have the entire first season and most of the second on my hard disk.
It takes up 20GB though.

I also have another 40 gigs of random stuff.
Considering my HDD is only 75 gigs, I need some more space.

Is it going to be the same as Big Brother III, where they removed most of the point (at least from a televisual sense, I didn't see much point in it to begin with) by having more interaction between BB and the house?
