Aren't they lucky they get to work during International week then. You must be desperate if you are watching that though. I'm an Abramovich player - get me out of here.

Bert19 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 You lads should consider yourselves lucky - My Wife's re-watching Grey's Anatomy at the moment.

flllerywhereru2 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Im pretty sure the current owners must have at least considered that this may happen (assuming it does) and will have prepared accordingly. Having lived through 3 relegations, a fourth would not be the end of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your "Grey's Anatomy" and I raise you "Married at first sight" which is like watching reptilian imbeciles with no redeeming qualities in a slow mo car crash .

Sundays are a challenge 😳 I've watched The Masked Singer a few times, in English and the Polish version. I have to say that the format strikes me as incredible - a genius idea for what top TV should be about. In execution though it seems rubbish.

The bold bit is how I feel with "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" these days - I genuinely recognised 2 of them, and Britney's sister because I read somewhere that she was taking part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) My partner likes Extra Slice, but usually, I have only heard of two out of three "celebrities". I spend the program wondering who they are. Obviously, not a comedian or raconteur. Not a cook, either. Jo Brand is the archetypal comedian out to pasture, I think. The same goes for Pointless Celebs. I think it's a function of getting older. What gets me is how so many of them seem to be a model, actor, singer, dancer, etc. I would like them to be good at one thing before branching out. It is almost guaranteed that their agent is doing overtime. And then, at 23, they decide to publish their autobiography, which is never "auto" and has nothing of any note worth repeating.

He was surprisingly soothed by McEnroe's Teenage Dirtbag, to the extent I'll still occasionally sing it to him to get him to sleep. I can't stand it now I occasionally get more than 4 hours sleep a night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 A very insightful thread .... A group of long term Chelsea faithful who carry the burden of Chelsea with aplomb ,humour and pithy comment..all dragged down by mindless..to us...manufactured "shows" inhabited by equally manufactured "celebrities"...😆 I would raise you all with "Call The Midwife"...a series, milked beyond it's time,with shared fascination between my very clever successful sister and her old classmate Mrs C,...endless totally thick East End husbands and salt of the Earth smart pregnant working class mum's head and shoulders above the said thicko husbands., as I said, milked beyond it's time,...and portraying a time I remember well but not as shown!..(Endevour also suffered a bit from that...supposedly pre history but in my very recent memory!) Of course..in the great tradition of our Forum...a thread totally out of place on this particular subject forum but,,,,,it is US!

Blue Moon Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 You had it lucky. I get Made in Chelsea. Mindless bunch of parvenu shitforbrains discussing the relative virtues of moisturiser and making catty remarks about each other. My dear and tolerant tennis mad spouse and beloved daughter - yes, the avowed feminist - adore it. God knows why. On the bright side, I don’t have to make excuses for hiding in the snug watching repeats of Top Gear, ‘Allo ‘Allo, Liverpool:Chelsea 2014, 2012 Munich and 2012 Porto - they understand.
