Late night TV...

r3nu4l

The choice has gotten much better over the years but there is still a distinct lack of good choices every night of the week at 3 or 4 in the morning.

What do you watch and is it on regularly? There's almost always an episode of House MD or CSI on some channel or other but it's all very random so far as I can tell. Quite often I find myself switching over to a DVD or the internet...to post on boards.ie of course, not to stream TV from the internet or anything...

Over here we have a free-to-air channel called SBS. Often from 11pm they show dodgy French subtitled soft pornos. It's great!

TBH I am mostly slowly creating a selection of old Doctor who, Mighty boosh and invader zim stuff so far. Barely watch telly at night...

Except for Zone horror. I love awful awful horror movies.

Jeremy Kyle show. Nothing like it, it's one of the funniest shows I've seen in years.

Has Anybody watched Billy Connolly "tour of England and Ireland" On (I think) Dave with the guy doing Sign Language??? FUNNIEST thing I have ever seen on television..

Its normally on about 1 or 2 in the morning...

goodburger

Boston Legal is on at 3am on living 2 and Frasier is on at 5.10 on paramount2. between 4 and 5 i sometimes get in a King of Queens or SATC on comedy 1. I love my late night tv.

I am a massive [adult swim] fan. It's on every morning on Bravo from about 1 ish. It just has a load of silly cartoons really, one of them is great, they interview ''celebrities''... Give it a go!
Other than that, ya always get some great ol' programme like The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air or somethin' on Five U.S.
And More4 frequently show The I.T. Crowd early in the morn. (lets not forget 4od too)
And then there's the classics on DVD. Besides the aforementioned Doctor Who and The Mighty Boosh, I watch a lot of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and Battlestar Galaactica late on

QI is up there with Dr Who for late night viewing in my book. How could I have forgotten it?

star-pants

thusspakeblixa

Speaking of forgetting things-
Anyone else here watch Little House On The Prarie whenever it rears it's incest ridden noggin?

Sky+ saved tv for me.

Dragan

To be honest i don't have tv any more, just download everything and the comp is hooked up to the big screen so all is groovy.

I remember that Paramount was normally good for a laugh, and if you flicked between the MTV's in the right order you could catch up to six South Parks in a row.:D

LovelyTom

I always watch Street Wars on Sky1. It's great!

I have been known to do that.

delo18

Paramount has been showing repeats of the Last Comic Standing usually starting at around three, or else South Park on MTV and Paramount-makes me glad I never watched it first time around, they're all new episodes for me!!

KnifeWRENCH

Night time TV is shit for me coz we don't have that many channels.
BBC3 sometimes have interesting documentaries about lapdancers, obsessive bodybuilders,teenagers addicted to porn etc.
Mostly I just either watch DVDs or the Music Channels (with a quick flick through the "grown up" channels )

watna

We have three channels here so we only use the tv for news really or theres this really awesome programme called police ten 7 which is like crimewatch except it's just drunk people (mostly maoris) commiting random stupid crimes and then getting arrested by police that are just laughing at them. It's seriously the funniest programme I have ever seen.

For late night viewing we have a 750GB hardrive that's hooked up to the tv so recently it's been futurama, family guy or flight of the conchords.

estebancambias

I miss MTV of 04/05 at night...some class shows used to be on.

Double Boiling Points...bit of Room Raiders...some nice music to close the day down.

Lol that sounds cool...wish we had that

estebancambias

That sounds great and all but on a certain P2P I can get the real deal, no frills attached.

Doesn't have the same comedic value though.

heh heh.....French :pac:

monkeyfudge

Watching House on the Hallmark channel at the moment... sheesh.. they show some sucky adverts.

3 Volumes of my favourite Australian soap arrived on DVD today... so I may watch some of that later.

I used to have that, loved the way you could slow down time and do that fancy jumping sideways, shooting with two guns thing. Excellent.

banjopaul

Southpark or frasier on paramount usually does the job!

Crumble Froo

if there was decent late night tv, i woudlnt be sitting on boards, would i?! :P

though i used to babysit for my cousin, who had sky digital.. ie... kerrang!, scuzz, mtv2, Q, mtv (quite good in the middle of the night, less ads too), and vh1. i'd sit up and flick til my aunt got home about 3-6am, she could never believe i was still awake.

Alicat

But retro episodes of Gladiators are on Challenge every weeknight at midnight! That's the ****

Our telly broke over a year ago, and we decided not to repair it. Good decision. Didn't miss it. Now we have a problem, having just moved. Our new "residence" has a built in telly, so I am wondering how long we can resist the temptation of worshiping the cyclops god.:eek:

SantryRed

Jeremy Kyle show on TV3 at about half two is brilliant.

Such a funny T.V. show:D

KnifeWRENCH

We have a "Free-to-Air" satellite and we recently found E4 and More4. For the past couple of nights I've been watching classic episodes of ER (so much better than now) and also Countdown at like 3 or 4 in the morning!

More4 always show the IT crowd late at night too, give it a go!

Yeah late night for me is 5 or 6 and thats on but i dont have sky till sept and then im movng.

Suppose its better to have more time for my music:)

KnifeWRENCH

Ugh, "Deal Or No Deal" is on in the background and yer man playing is an irritating fcuk.
Hope he wins a lot of money and then loses the cheque.
And possibly get hit by a bus.

MementoMori

My favourite worst TV is Linc's - without doubt the worst fckin show in existence - on Paramout Comedy - puts the whore in horrendous

trout

sounds like my kind of show... not

MementoMori

Linc's is without doubt one of the worst show produced in the English speaking world. It invents new ways to be awful with every new episode.
This is one of the main reasons I don't regret pulling my eyes out.

Aw man I LOVE those shows. Throw in QI and Have I Got News For You? aswell. Perfect late night viewing :D

Unfortunately we don't have Sky subscription I can only watch them on BBC or DVD.
