    They can simulate sex, they can't have penetrated sex

    What? Gogglebox is one of the best and funniest shows on tv?

    They actually watch 'Sex Box' on it last week and most of them thought it was rubbish.

    Gogglebox is awful. Can't understand the appeal with it.

    You get to know the characters on it and some of their comments are hilarious.

    The people who take part in these shows are vain beyond belief. It's like the celebrity sex tape. When you hear that there is one on the go, you just know that the celebrity in question has a massive tool ! They're so proud of it that the film it and accidentally/on purpose let the tape leak for all to see e.g. Colin Farrell.

    Yeah didn't Colin "Be Jaysus" Farrell upload the video himself and flood facebook and twitter with links to it ?

    You know I've noticed there's a correlation between boring people and sex.people who try to be sexy, like being seen as risqué, talk about it too much, they're normally have **** all else going on in their empty heads.

    I'm more interested in what it represents than actually watching it.

    There was time when nations only had a few channels and everyone talked about the same thing, "did ya see such and such last night on telly?".
    Some ground breaking taboo would have been broken in some soap and from then on you could almost feel everyone at the same time getting it.

    There was a sense a national observance that's completely dissipated since, everyone can now pursue their own current media consumption independent of schedules.

    In a way gogglebox feels like a parting ode to a nation watching the same programmes at the same time. When people watching telly is telly then it's over and we can only watch with nostalgia for a time gone.

    I got rid of TV over a decade ago and am only exposed to it again because I'm fixing up my mums old house. When we move on again telly will be gone from our lives again.

    Actually I found an old eighties set in storage, took out the tube and wiring and am going to put a fishtank into the TV box. Says it all really.

    My father said something very similar to this to me a while ago.

    I remember dying to go into school on a Tuesday morning so we could all reminisce about the new Father Ted episode shown the night before. But also even just family jokes about characters that you all knew, things like that.

    My oh watches Countryfile every Sunday. It was like a routine in his house growing up and he said Sunday just doesn't feel right without it.

    This really is a new low. I've heard reality tv described as the modern equivalent of the Victorian freak shows, and this programme fits right in to that.

    I corrected that for you. ;)

    Where does reality TV go from here.
    We have had the sex guide programs, the embarrassing bodies program, the dating shows for disfigured people, the guy with the massive balls, etc.

    It is akin to the old freakshows where people get to gawk at the risque, the helpless, the less fortunate.
    All the better if it involves sex organs.

    Oh wait haven't they already done a show about the current elephant man as he tried to get his tumors removed.
    Granted that poor guy had an excuse as he was really poor and not from someplace with widely available free western healthcare.

    Sad that this what TV has degenerated into.

    Well just don't watch it then and leave others to it.

    You don't get the show, it's about how TV impacts their lives and how programmes are perceived. I find it very entertaining and interesting and also funny.

    I don't. I'm just taken aback at how popular it is... then again x factor is also quite popular.

    Yeah sign me up.


    Although I would be walking into the box alone.

    Quick wave to the audience as the tears of loneliness well up yet again. Back out in two minutes.

    I don't watch gogglebox myself but did you ever watch the comedy sitcom, "The Royal Family"? It's not unlike the concept of gogglebox.

    Embarrassing bodies has got to be the absolute worst show for reality tv.
    Oh look, I'm too embarrassed to go to a doctor in private but let's go on a tv show and see if I can cure blue waffle.
    F'ing idiots

    I think people go on it because they get to see specialists quicker, and have some of their medical expenses paid for?

    Either way that show is one of my guilty pleasures; I love seeing fúcked up cases on it! :o

    The Royle Family was a sitcom. Gogglebox is reality TV. They are literally poles apart in terms of concept and entertainment value.
