Just out of interest - How come you found this post by Googling "tv3 vincent browne is a wanker"? A strange thing to search for if you are such a fan? From the tone and content of your comment, I would normally assume that you work for TV3. But then I have seen your e-mail address? ;) Hi Dars, and welcome.

What I see in TV3 is quality production for little money, unlike rte who pump ten times the amount and produce tripe such as "Your a Star????" as for the presenters. Martin King does nothing wrong but ad colour to something that is normally dreary and boring. You just personally abused the guy too so i know you don't personally know him as if you did you wouldnt say that. Get a life CUNT. as for the rest of the presenters. They produced some of the top presenters in ireland, would you prefare Ryan Tubardy or Pat Kenny???? paid more money PA than TV3 makes. so get rid of the grudge(probably because they fired your Ma as a cleaner for steeling cultery) and climb out of yoru own ass...

It is the only chat show in the world that is presented by a Plank. It would turn you off the vitiot box for life. DVDs are very bad for you. Unless of course you copy them and sell the copies down the pub, in which case they're very good for you. Welcome Quickroute! :) I don't speak a word of Spanish, but “<em>Manana es Scorchio!</em>â€?? I think even I can understand that! Nice one!! Brianf – You should try watching our version of the Late Late Show. It is the only chat show in the world that is presented by a Plank.

Now I speak reasonable Spanish mind, but they talk gibberish at 110 miles an hour, 24/7 here. The weathermen don't get paid too much though, as it's fairly easy and cheap to find someone to say "Manana es Scorchio!" you should try Argentinian TV.

All six of them! Two channels I don't watch, CW and ABC. On NBC I only watch The Tonight Show, occasionally. On PBS I watch a couple of their documentary, historical and scientific kinda' shows. Fox has 'Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader'. I like that show. CBS on the other hand has sucked me in. I watch my local 6pm news and their national news also. I enjoy cursing and swearing at Katie Couric. I do it quite a lot. CBS has also resumed a show I like called Jericho. Don't call me between 2200 and 2300 Tuesday nights. It has replaced the 24 in the TV mythology of my mind. Also CBS has a show that comes on WAY too late at night, 0030, called 'The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson'. He is too too funny and on late enough at night that he doesn't have to be politically correct. So unlike those that come home from work and immediatly turn on the vidiot box I try to be somewhat selective in what I watch. The kids at the used DVD store know me by name. Maybe I go there too much. Ya' think? I, like Baino get an entire array of channels on my TV. All six of them!

A block of them are wall to wall God Botherers. We also have channels dedicated to wine, teachers, selling crap, moving house and foreign holidays. About the only subject <em>not</em> covered by a dedicated channel is blogging. Be thankful for small mercies!! Baino – Wouldn’t you fancy watching him every night ;)

Being an early riser, Sunday morning here is the worst. American Evangelical services and Hillsong feature on 3 of our 5 channels! "Lord be praised . . " The other two insist on half hour advertorials of a product that cure's Jessica Simpson and P Diddy's pimples! I am less of a vidiot these days and more of a bloggiot thanks to lousy TV. Everything sounds better in an Irish accent mind! Ooh feeling a bit queezy now!

Is the fun found in channel hopping and not watching? There are a great number of people who swear ‘I don’t bother watching T.V. much anymore’, yet they cannot live without TV.
