I agree with Morpheus. I never said anything about me watching the channel 24/7 under an oath, but I did post about the overlaod of shows ruining Big Brother and being almost depressed with the overload of Reality TV on the cahnnel atm. It's hard to avoid really.
The joy of Sky, Virgin Media, BT Vision, Freeview etc.
They all have more than five channels on, so it makes Channel 4 more avoidable...
But your bound to end up getting caught up in it some way , be it radio ads , magazines , channel surfing , or simply watching another , non-reality show on C4. You know the way it works. Something you dont watch can still have the ability to p**s you off , likesay , Big Brother.
That's only if you let it. How on earth people are able to get pi$$ed off by seeing an ad whilst flicking through the channels or a magazine is beyond me. And the fact that a certain channel showing too many [in your opinion] reality shows can depress you is also beyond me.

I loathe the history channel but when I see an ad for the c**p they put on it, it doesn't pi$$ me off or depress me as I've no interest in it so therefore I don't let it annoy me ... and plus, it's only the TV ... there's more important things to get depressed about than reality shows.

As for the question, I don't think there are too many atall. Reality shows are one of the most popular shows around at the minute. If it's BB US or another 5 year old repeat of Friends then I know what I'd choose. Plus, both hijack & BB US were on E4 rather than C4 ... they are just warming us up for BB9 ... I don't see the harm ... and I don't see how you can let a TV program get to you so much. It's odd.
If you assuming that I am depressed or bothered by it , im not , but the fact remains that I still think there are too many reality shows on.

If you ask me , the real mark of an obsession with something , and lack of other interests in the outside world , comes in the form of bashing sombody elses thread cause he dared to say a bad word about the mighty reality show.
