The Murder of the TV...

I love watching TV... however, off late its getting more and more painful to enjoy the fruit of Mr. Baird's efforts. And here is list of top 10 reasons:

1. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.: Don't know why they keep showing that noise. Wasn't it enough that it went on for 10 painful seasons, that now they have to torture us with reruns on every English channel???

2. Genelia D'Souza Ads: Any ad with her in it!! Its unbelievable how irritating she is in ads despite being a real cutie otherwise.

3. Fairness Ads: They just highlight, bold, put in double-quotes, and double underline the fact that we are a racist, slave of the white-skin people. Shallow too.

4. Cell Phone Ads (only the new lesser know ones): The stupidity of these ads is just unbelievable!! How they were not banned for insensitivity and condemned for lack of any decent imagination is beyond me. And they have some of the biggest stars in them...

5. IPL Commentary: While not an IPL fan, I don't really mind if its on TV and may watch it from time to time. What I cannot tolerate is that commentary!!! Stupid stupid stupid!! And even more stupidity... and then some more stupidity.. and stupider... and stupidest.. and stupidestest ... (you get the idea)

6. Breaking News: Do you really care if they found the police commissioner's lost dog? REALLY!?!?!?!?!

7. Reality TV Shows (specifically the music channels and all those sing dance shows): Why do we want to see stupid young boys and girls act all grown up and bitch about each other? Or old stars tell jobless youth and kids with overambitious parents why they are so wonderful, great, etc. etc... just before kicking them off the show.

8. Baby Ads: Please don't show the babys' bottoms!! Come on people... what is wrong with you!! That baby will grow up one day and the world would have seen its butt!!!

9. Deodorant Ads: I agree that their semi-pornographic nature will appeal to the testosterone charged adolescent young boys, but is it TV material? At least show them after 10 p.m.

10. Bad Cartoons: Whatever happened to the great cartoons of my childhood? Now all you see are Japanese cartoons with story lines to beat any of the crappy soap-operas (or F.R.I.E.N.D.S.). Too much mushy love and all that stuff. Too much good and bad... right or wrong. Whatever happened to violence and thrashing that your parents cannot stop you from watching??

I am leaving out all soap operas because they ... because they... well just because!! They suck!!

O.K. now... I am off to watch one of the few genuine entertainments on TV... Tele Shopping shows!!! Let me at those crystals, bracelets, exercising machine, slimming options, fattening options... and length augmenters....
