Where Have all the Good Shows Gone?

All of my favourite shows seem to be disappearing off of the screen; Lost, Inbetweeners, Desperate Housewives (disappearing mid-season really is poor!),Torchwood, Bionic Woman and I hear that this season of Brothers & Sisters will be the last - thank goodness we still have Heroes and a few episodes of Doctor Who left to fill the summer void!!

If I enjoyed the soaps or reality TV then my viewing schedule would be overflowing but alas, British soaps are far too depressing and the majority of DIY, reality, do-up-your house, sell-your-house-and-make-lots-of-money, go-live-abroad-disaster-that-turns-out-ok! shows have been so overdone that watching them is predictable and boring.

I watch TV for entertainment, to escape reality and maybe to learn something new and interesting - so what will be dominating our primetime viewing for the next 13 weeks - BB9!!!

For those of you who get the extra channels, ITV3 are screening the whole first series of Primeval on Saturday starting at 2.15pm. It will be followed at 8.15pm with ‘Primeval - Behind the Scenes’, unfortunately there is nothing of interest to fill the Pushing Daisies void or indeed the Lost void on Sunday, unless you have been watching Greek, BBC3, 9pm, I haven’t watched it so I can’t comment on it’s entertainment value. If you are missing Pushing Daisies then visit the ITV.com site to view a ‘magic unseen’ episode called ‘Dummy‘.

Does anyone watch a great show that they could recommend? Please just drop me a line in the comment box below.

It looks like I might have some time on my hands, time to get on my bike, get the gardening done, hopefully we will have a long hot summer…..!
