What has happened to children's cartoons? What has happened to children's cartoons?
Children's cartoons aren't as honest and wholesome as they once were which is quite sad. They're all commercial now and pumped up to the max, what's it all for? Is it all just about the money now?

Paying the cable company to watch commercials Paying the cable company to watch commercials
I have no problems with sponsors that pay the networks to advertise their goods and services. But why must I pay the cable companies to watch that which I totally abhor, (commercials)? Kind of double dipping isn't it?

Dumbed down TV series with a stupid ending Dumbed down TV series with a stupid ending
Is it me, or are TV series of late getting really strange and not making any sense? It's not just the story line that I'm griping about it's then endings as well. Take the sci-fi shows Lost and Flashforward for example.

Mercia radio, boring and unimaginative Mercia radio, boring and unimaginative
My main complaint at the moment is work related in that we are forced to listen to one radio station all day long and it is quite literally driving me round the bend. This radio station is called Mercia (Smooth Radio).

TV programme spoiled by 'Coming Up' clips TV programme spoiled by 'Coming Up' clips
'Coming Up' - It's a phrase that most television presenters have to use at the start of their program or just before the commercial break. Just hearing those words now sets my nerves on edge.

Introduce a friend to Sky TV offer Introduce a friend to Sky TV offer
I am fed up with Sky. I tried to take advantage of their 'Introduce a friend to Sky TV' offer, but ended up wasting money on the phone to customer service. I haven't received the vouchers, nor has the friend that introduced me!

Orange Wednesdays are getting too popular Orange Wednesdays are getting too popular
Twice recently I have failed to get in to see the film of my choice on Orange Wednesday. Tonight's experience was worse than ever though! We had to queue along a main road to get into the participating cinema car park.

Watching TV on the Internet Watching TV on the Internet
The Television set is one of the greatest inventions of all time. So when did we decide that it wasn't good enough any more, and we needed the ability to watch TV shows on our computers and/or mobile phone?

TV presenters who mumble TV presenters who mumble
I really enjoy watching BBC click, it's probably one of my favourite factual programmes. There's only one thing that spoils my viewing pleasure though. I often find it quite difficult to hear what Spencer Kelly is saying sometimes.
