Television repeats are the most annoying thing in the world, especially if you've seen the show! even more annoying is when you watch the show half way through and realise that you've seen it before and thus have missed another show that you haven't seen but is one of those shows that probably wont be repeated and every one else in the world watched it except you! The thing is, there are too many channels to fill the schedules, so you have the Top Gear Channel, The M*A*S*H channel, the Friends channel etc etc, and now the program makers have realised that they can sit at home with their feet up and not create anything new because a repeat will suffice, it'll get to the point where the program makers will start making repeats specifically for the 'repeat' channel. There are god knows how many versions of Pride and Prejudice out there and yet, there will no doubt be another version being filmed right now with some doe eyed bint, who's going to be the next big thing, this is just an excuse to get some tart in a corset (corset is! haha) so you can gawp at her knockers and pretend that you are interested in period dramas.
I am truly sick of repeats, I want to see fresh, new ideas, not old ideas from my youth that seemed old and rubbish at the time, It's getting so bad that some channels are showing old football matches, what's the point of that? we all know the score and in my eyes once you know the score, the match is irrelevant, one exception to this is Match of the day, where it is good to see the goals scored and conceded and the dirty tackle and the latest dive technique mastered by the Chelsea squad.
Anyway rant over, I'm going to go and watch Only Fools and Horses.

Was talking to a friend over the weekend who lives in America. If you think it's bad here, it's about a millyun times worse over there.
They'd put fucking adverts in-between adverts if they could!
They'll stick an ad in before and after the opening credits. You just have to see the ads chopped out of shows obtained through other means (apparently you can get a right "torrent" of television on the internet these days) to see where they put stuff, usually in a totally inappropriate scene like some corseted lady about to bathe so you miss the goods.
