Fremantle’s family feud

Well I won’t be watching any of them. Rather watch a Doctor Who repeat on ABC2 than any of that cr@p. But based on last night’s ratings, I’d say X Factor should come out on top.

I note the extensive, and frankly, navel-gazing argument (https://mumbrella.com.au/cutting-the-cord-on-free-to-air-dross-in-favour-of-online-viewing-103756) around Paul Cotton’s intelligent piece on the ability of the technoscienti to get exactly the light entertainment they feel like at any given time. Scott Rhodie has a US iTunes account, I use cross-border proxies like unblock-us.com, others may employ more liberal methods to torrent what they’re after.

In the meantime we get these expensive, moronic “reality” shows tht insult and demean both the viewer and the participant, all in the name of entertainment.

At home we discuss what we’d like to see over dinner, and I dig out permissible ways of seeing them, usually with the adblocker on my browser turned on.

Poor Channel 10 will come in last again. X factor had a great start last night and Farmer has an ongoing audience.

I will survive- will not. Xfactor was great last night-lots of young talent which should be encouraged, Dont tell the bride- I wont. Channel 10 will fail.
