Daytime TV Sucks!

In part 2 of my 'Bored through Easter' series, I put daytime TV under the microscope.
The title statement will, to most of you, come as no suprise. But for those of you that like soap operas, you'll now be yelling obscentites at the computer screen as I have dared to criticise that poorly produced, sesationalistic, exploitative, lowest common denominator garbage that you hold so dear to your hearts. Or at least you would, I you could muster the intelligence to be able to put down your copy of 'The Sun' and log on to the internet.

Daytime TV is rubbish to the 'n'th degree. You just have to look at Trisha first thing in the morning to see how bad it gets:
"Hi my name's Trisha and welcome to the show. Today's guests are people who have been beaten up in pubs. Now, here are some people who beat people up in pubs. Lets have a debate."

It gets no better after that. First Phillip Schofield comes on looking like the Silver Surfer with that hairdo of his whilst on the BBC, they're showing the 14th antique-hunting or house-buying programme of the morning.

Then, the lowest of the low - Loose Women. All the sexism you can cram into one, handy, pocket-sized hour long block. If that programme had a load of builders on, talking about which pop star had the nicest knockers, it's be taken off the air in a flash. But when it's women talking about how men are all stupid bastards, it's OK. That's because it's only women dumb enough to buy into this shit. In fact, I imagine about half the dole-sponging population are all jumping up infront of the screen shouting "You go girl!".

That said, by saying that 'daytime TV sucks', I'm not telling the whole story. In fact, most TV sucks. The prosecution brings the following evidence:

• Coronation Street, poorly produced sensationalistic tripe.
• Eastenders: See above
• Emmerdale: Does nothing to dispell the Lancashire myth that Yorkshire people are inbred, infact, it supports it!
• Crossroads: It was crap the first time, that's why it got cancelled. What posessed you to bring it back?

The prosecution rests.
