What happened to C4! Less than a year ago it was claiming to be a "Music Television" channel (yeah right), but it has apparently now "evolved" to be an "all-round entertainment channel"! Really?
You see i used to really like C4, with great shows such as "Special Features", "Intellectual Property" and the "New Releases show!
But then it started to show "MTV" shows, which wasn't so bad, but let's be honest, how many shows can you have about whiny girls just blinking all the time, or dating shows with irreverent washed up rappers/rockers darting trashy ho's tying to find "the one" but ending up split up which leads to (shocking) a second season to do the whole thing all over again!
The channel reached new lows recently when it started screening "Hogan Knows Best" and now i can't stand to watch it head towards termination!
There just seems to be no consistency! It still has some of it's music content ("Special Features"and "Select Live") which is great but it's once it hits 6PM that it just seems to fall apart. I mean who wants to watch repeats of "Punk'd" and "King Of The Hill"! We are then saved by the amazing "Family Guy" but then it's all so so from 7:30 onwards!
They do have some of the best shows on tv; "30 Rock", "Family Guy", "90210"; but with "Flavor of Love" and "Beauty and the Geek", the appeal is few and far between!
Then they get shows like "Girls of the Playboy Mansion" and "The Daily Show" which are good shows, but just have no place on C4! And what's with "Battle star Gallactica"! C4 just seems like TV3's rubbish bin (with "90210" being shifted after a poor run on TV3) and has no character to it!
So here's the deal: Revise, Revise and Make Cuts!
Get rid of the shit shows that belong on Skys the Box and fix your schedule! Great shows that they could get include "24", "Dollhouse" and "The Cleveland Show"! O and get rid of Sunday Night Movies and have your best shows repeat that weeks episode for catch ups!
It's not too late!

Ahem. did you just diss Battlestar Galactica? It's actually one of the best shows on TV. lol. Sci Fi has a huge stigma attached to it, i understand that though. Battlestar is more Lost than Star Trek btw. Shame it's got a cheesey name.
ReplyDeleteSo true, C4 has become TV3s dumping ground with a few MTV shows and a little music maybe a couple of actually good shows thrown in... Its even too shitty to be the channel you watch when nothing else is on!
