TV Misery

I'm not a huge TV watcher but I love big brother and some other E4 shows. The music channels and films.
TV soaps bore me. Are our lives so uninspiring that we have to watch other peoples? The BBC are panicking that Eastenders has hit an all time low. Is it surprising? For years we have watched misery and gloom, death and fury. Fights, arguing and despondency. Barry gets pushed off a cliff, Pat loses her house, Mark dies from Aids, Martin runs over jamie then marries his widow? Laura dies falling down the stairs. Lynne baby dies on a funfair ride. Nothing at all happens to the Ferreiras.
I mean don't they need some karma. Surely a bit of Feng Sui would help? Do we need this gloom. People are dying for real. Mass rape in Sudan and men sentenced to amputations. Starvation mutilation. War...our own men on the line in Iraq.
At least Corrie and Emmerdale still don't take themselves quite so seriously although Emmerdale has had its fair share of death lately.
Whilst on the TV subject. I find the 4 advert for Six feet under etc a bit hard to take. Maybe its just listening to Cliff singing Summer Holiday. A song used to being associated with happy times. In the car going on annual vacation. You hear the tune, smile look up and see two goons throwing a body wrapped in a black bag in the river....Then the scenes ends in a morgue as the pathologist is about to slice open the body. Tasteful!
I still like Hollyoaks........ha. It can be quite funny though the Dan mass murder storyline was pathetic. Gosh the cops didn't search the garage of the prime suspect. Inspector Jane Tennison would blow a fuse!
But wasn't Hollyoaks after hours interesting! Especially the blow job scene. Least the show has some eye candy. Hollyoaks has Dan vs Eastenders Gus. Hmmmmmmm
