TV shows that should be retired…

Most of the daytime television programmes should be axed, constituting of programmes for the hard of thinking. Homes Under The Hammer, Bargain Hunt, Loose Women, A Place in the Sun et al, I could go on. I suggest reading a book instead.

However, I do understand that a lot of the immobile elderly population do depend upon this daytime "entertainment", just not for me.

To be fair, Homes under the hammer must cost about £12 to make an episode. There is about 3 minutes of footage and 20 plus of recaps to remind the elderly what they watched 30 seconds ago.
 
Are you my missus? She spends every episode making this point.

Overall it’s terrible. No character development, terrible script, nonsensical plots.

No but me and Mrs Jumpers spend each episode doing the same thing, and pointing out the obvious flaws in protocol despite having no knowledge of law enforcement or police work.
 
I love Match of the Day, however what boils my "what not" is the autopsy panel of experts, Shearer, Wright, Jenas, Richards et al. Drawing snail trails in the screen for the scorer who has just ran 60 yards with the ball, a line drawn to connect five defenders preventing a scoring opportunity, circles drawn around players as to define their position at certain points in the game, it's all pure tripe delivered by overpaid ex footballers. We don't need all that stuff, we attend matches, we can make our own judgements, we know as much about the game as the panel except we haven't had the benefit of ridiculous salaries during a professional career. In "The Olden Days", when Kenny Wolstenholme ruled, MotD showed a game then went onto the next game, no post mortem, just football. Now it's as if the "expert summarisers" were invented to extend the careers of has-been over paid players.

Rant over.😁

I stopped watching most TV years ago.

There are a few current shows I like such as Strike, The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, Andor, The WItcher, and possibly 2-3 more, but beyond that I just don't bother so they can all go for me.

You really believe that the average fan knows as much as someone who played multiple times for their country and made a career at the highest level ???

I've probably been to double the number of matches my brother has, as he's been busy playing football to a Northern League standard for the past 15 years. Watching a game with him he sees so many things I'd never see, and so I can't imagine what someone like Shearer or Lineker see that the average fan doesn't.
