Default TV is terrible tonight.

Struggling to find anything good to watch.

What's your evening viewing?

Sundays and absolutely rubbish TV go hand-in-hand, unfortunately. Even when it’s Christmas Eve. There’s never anything on.

Getting back to the Carol concert the organ seems ever so slightly out of sync with choir / singers ?!?!

So much so that I’ve had to switch over to the commoner’s Carol concert on BBC2 ..

Music and choir / singers are perfectly synced .

Thank the lawd !!

Weren't that the Soap Opera age though?

I personally think it was fine when it was Network vs Cable, I do think having the Streamers on top of the other two has split the talent pool up too much, it's why it's so rare to find a watchable Show in the late 2010's through to now, the Streamers are great for promoting foreign Shows, and in Netflix's case they're really good for adult Animation Shows.

However when it's coming to Live Action American Shows, there are only a handful of Shows from the Streamers that will stand the test of time imo, it also isn't helped by the fact that it takes the Streamers three years to do a second Season, as momentum is lost from a viewing perspective, and the writers have probably changed their vision for said Show by the time they've returned, thus creating a confused Show with a severe identity crisis.

Because all of the ad revenue for the whole viewing public was split between just 2 or 3 channels. More money = better telly.

Theres so much choice now (plus streaming and Internet in general for entertainment) that everyone gets a smaller slice of the pie.

Its the same reason that having countless streaming services is actually a bad thing. You need the $$$ to pool in one place, somewhat, for better quality content to be made. Though you do need some competition also. It's a fine line.

Tl;dr - overall TV viewership is decreasing, and it's spread across more channels, means less money, means poorer content.

I didn't watch anything on the telly this Christmas. All rubbish.

I downloaded Dr Who and Ghost Story For Christmas. I haven't watched them yet but I bet they're rubbish too.

I find modern TV depressing. But I have been watching old Department S and Jason King episodes which were fun and really good. And they're over 50 years old.

Both shows starred Peter Wyngarde.
