Sky one shows...

neohoki

You know all those sky one shows like
ibiza uncovered
and
mile high
is harry on the boat
n all dat ****e...
Why is it so popular??(as they are making many series of these)
I mean most of it is drunk english people ridiculously permiscuous...
I mean i saw a part once where these guys were seeing how many of them could have unprotected sex...
FFS it's like no ones heard of STDs!!
The problem is IMO that its a really bad image being projected onto the 13 year old fan base(i mean hwo else would watch it) which the shows have and it will lead to a an amoral society where monkeys will rule the planet....
Wait one minute...it was earth...YOU BASTARDS,YOU BLEW IT UP!!!!!

Perhaps drunken english people like to watch other drunken english people.....

Mossy Monk

shame on you all for watching that rubbish

neohoki

duffmans a drunken english man!? I knew it!!!!

I dont think its as popular as it was a few years back.
Anyway,ppl watch this stuff cos they can see some pissed English sluts getting their tits out.And anyway,if the dudes back home see this happening at resort X they are more likely to head there that summer.For all we know the local tourist managers are paying these girls to get their baps out so it will bring a few randy,hard drinking dudes from the homeland out in the summer.

I watch this stuff occasionally,though I never saw Mile High.

But then again apart from the simpsons Sky 1 doesnt have a whole lot of good tv anyway.



If anybody is arsed while we are on the subject Sky Plus is showing the X Files 1994 season at 12:45 pm on sky mix:) Its the only thing that gets me out of bed before one.

neohoki

Me too!! Great one today with the autistic twin,pure brilliance....

Mossy Monk

before 1 :eek: you people are lazy. i hope you don't get to bed until 7am

Mile High was good enough. Had standard soap opera appeal in the vein of Hollyoaks etc.

Tyrrial

I have never seen the Uncovered shows, never seen X-Files, never seen the West Wing.

I admit I love the Simpsons and I would watch Friends because although it is very American, I think that the group dynamic and the humour can work quite well (for an American show).

The few times that I would sit down to watch the TV- you know when you have those days that when you get home you just want to switch the brain completely to neutral- you can usually find an episode of the Simpsons somewhere. I find it works a treat. Pure chewing-gum for the brain.

Personally, I think that 2 TV channels is 1 TV channel too many. Nice to have a TV so you can catch the news each evening, or occasionally there mght be a decent program that coincides with your interests. However people that just switch from channel to channel all night long in the hope of finding anything at all to amuse them and fill their 30 second attention spans, this channel-hopping practice really irritates me. I believe that the 'Off' button is the most underused button on the remote control.

From what I can discern from this thread, I take it I'm not missing much on Sky.

Monty - the one and only

moved...did you even check to see if there was a television board...I guess not.

I watched quite a bit of Mile High (the joy of being back in college is that the people you hang out with are younger than you & automatically watch these things)

The fast cuts really got me - it's usually a lazy way of filming but they actually did it really well & it added to the pace of the thing. Storyline, pffff, every week I was amazed at the technical end of it. Welcome to nerd country.

You've got people that read the Sun and the Evening Herald, people who wear Burbuy baseball caps, people who like Ronan Keating - these people watch that tripe. Let them have it.

This is the Television board, not the I don't watch Television board.

Sky One have to make TV programmes for the english market because of the ITC. Thus they make cheap crap for the number of hours they need for British TV.

So no they are not all that popular just needed to met a quoat of British TV programming.

Uncovered
Brit Sex
etc are to Sky One

As Ireland AM is to TV3.

surely you are not implying that Ireland AM is ****e. Granada should have a look at it and convince Carlton of its greatness. then they can dump GMTV and put Ireland AM on in its place




*dont take everything i say seriously

herbie747

TV3 have to the have the stupidest looking presenters.
That gob****e who presents Ireland AM- he looks so sleezy.


The guy who reads the sports on the news- Trevor Welch with his dyed jet black hair. He just looks ridiculous. (Far Right)


And the news reporter: Ursula Halligan talks like she has tourettes.

And just look how dumb and inexperienced this TV3 guy looks. He looks like one of those salesmen with the suitcases who try to sell tacky crap when they come to where you work:


The Irish weakest Link that Eamon Dunphy hosts
is absolutely terrible.
Where Ann Robinson's comments would be clever and funny, e.g. "Who is the pebble in your shoe?", "If brains were taxed, who'd get a rebate?"etc, Eamon Dunphy comes up pathetic attempts like "Who is not the brainiest?", and "Who got the most questions wrong?", and " Who is being the stupidest?". Full marks for stating the obvious. Eamon (or whatever boring loser is writing the lines) has absolutely no tact or imagination. If you're going to copy a show, at least try to make it AS good if not better than the original. Don't make it worse. Otherwise, what's the point?

Overpaid TV3 Office Goon: "Hey, lets do an Irish version of the Weakest Link, except make it crap"
TV3 Commissioning Editor (Jane Gogan): "Sounds like a winner, you deserve another raise."


Why the hell aren't those links coming up as images??
I did the whole

More like

Jane: I commissioned the weekest link today.
Eamonn: Oh! Thats nice love! whos going to present it.
Jane: We don't know yet! but we know its not anyone from RTE.
Eamonn: Well! Then love what about me?
Jane: Well only because your sleeping with me

TWO years later

Eamonn: You know the way the weakest link didn't work
Jane: Don't ****in remind me.
Eamonn: Well what about a chat show, with Irelands no. 1 radio host.
Jane: We'd never get pat kenny.
Eamonn: No I ment me.
Jane: Ah come on now love your not even a popular as Ray Darcy.
Eamonn: Oh come on! look at all the contraversy I cause on the world cup for RTE do you think people tune in for the team with out Roy Keane. Don't think so.
Jane: Ok but only because we can get loads of money out of that dim canadian ****, he still thinks riverdance is the highlight of Irish Culture.
Eamonn: Thanks love

The only reason why those ****e programs are shown on sky1 is coz 12 year olds are getting excited by watching the slightest bit of a tit they can manage to see, and thats alot of 12 year olds

Sky ones only good shows are Simpsons, Futurama and family guy, if they still show dat

BKtje

For me Sky One is one of the better channels.

Im a bit of a sci fi fan and they show plenty of it.
Enterprise, Stargate (tho not atm), Voyager, STTNG etc etc
Also Simpsons, scrubs, friends and the likes.

They do show an awful lot of crap but there are some quality shows thrown in which are usually a couple weeks (more often more) ahead of other channels. I usually tape the shows as the ads really piss me off. Then i can fast forward em

Stark

Yeah I like it for the sci-fi shows and the animated shows as well (even if they do overplay the simpsons). It's their homegrown shows that are ****.

segadreamcast

Why do people keep mentioning Friends? Sky lost that a while ago to C4 and E4... again.
