How bad is the stuff on tv today...

DB10

Can't remember it ever being worse. Shrek on at the minute, the departed is on tonight I suppose but Film4 already shown that about a thousand times so meh...:(

Turtyturd

Does anyone bother with the tv on Christmas day though?

Its the perfect time to suffer through those dvd's you didn't want or like.

johnmcdnl

there's not a single decent film on the box today

Duff

Full Metal Jacket via Stagevu FTW!

ottostreet

Im at home at the parents and I dunno what to do with myself.

DVDs are all motorsport so noone else wants to watch them. Broadband is rubbish, no PS3, and all we have on DVD is the Royle Family. which is ****e.

so im on boards, entertain me my puppets!

lakers vs heat 10pm espn, sorted

DB10

Just seen Shrek the 3rd is on BBC1 until 16:30, then 5 minutes after it starts on RTE 1. The exaaaaact same film....:(

Do the ****ing idiots at RTE not realise when they do moronic ****e like this. Arrogant tossers probably done it on purpose....:mad:

Turtyturd

F*ckers have been at it with the soaps for years

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

It's ****ing soul destroying is what it is.

Bodhisopha

The one time of year i'll bother to sit down and watch a half decent movie, problem is, there are no half decent movies on today. I watched Scrooged though which i did enjoy. Do we really need deal or no deal on xmas day?

Mars Bar

Police Academy on at 11.15 p.m.
It's about the only movie worth watching today

Nowso

I have the radio on and tv off its that bad

KerranJast

I always "acquire" a stash of good films before heading for the sticks. Sherlock Holmes last night, Toy Story 3, Inception or Somewhere later.

Its good that RTE are showing Michael Collins tonight and then again tomorrow night just in case you miss it!!

...and every year without fail. Still a great movie though...

Star Bingo

Hopefully the Royale Family will be better than last year, can't decide if I'll risk the new camp "reality tv" comedy set in an airport at 10.

jd007

The above two will be the first things I will watch on TV today.

orourkeda

TV is f*cking mouldy today

Celly Smunt

Piste

I love Edward scissor hands! Missed the grinch earlier cos of dinne though

OPENROAD

I really think this year is probably the worst ever for tv.

mike65

If you don't watch soaps and "family" films you are snookered.

RTE1 are screening a 90 min Gerry Ryan profile tomorrow at about 9.20 I won;t be watching but I might just try to catch the last 10 mins...;)

candy-gal1

Well were talking Corrie, Edward Scissorhands, Simpsons, Mamma Mia, Meet the parents and Michael Collins all in a row so im happy!

saw that...thats bad form on rte's part imo....as if there is'nt enough films on planet earth to choose from for st stephens day.....

BigDuffman

Stuck in watching eastenders....most depressing un-christmasy sh!t. Tears, stabbings, set ups, my god Like christmas in Limerick.

Sarn

I've spent the past few hours flicking around looking for something to watch. Have Eragon on in the background, Sienna Guillory provides a minor distraction. Although Blackadder's Christmas carol is on now which might do for a bit.

There was: BBC had Singin' In The Rain, followed by The Man Who Would Be King. Later tonight RTE 2 has The Departed soon, and Carrie is on C4 just after midnight.

squod

Frig all on the box; might stick on ''Shawshank'' or ''The Green Mile'' on DVD later on.

ChopShop

ITV were showing Santa Claus the Movie, staring Dudley Moore, this afternoon.

Turned the TV off in disgust and haven't been near it since.
