The It Gets Better Excuse Is Bad 

I 100% agree here, there's a really good reason when speaking to people and they ask me "have you seen film X or series Y" and I always end up saying "no" or "I watched the first episode and didn't like it, didn't bother with it after that" and they always say "it gets better after episode Z" but that's not a convincing argument to get me to go back. As for that Game Over book you have, a friend of mine bought me the same book for a birthday present, it's a good read for sure.

The library, the conservatory… Do you live in the house from Cluedo? Was it Jen in the ballroom with the candlestick?

Once, long ago, the viewing figures for TV programs were in the newspapers and the mere bystander could correlate a poor episode at the start of a series with a big drop in viewers. Since TV folk know this, they put the best stuff on first. Given the choice watch the early episodes.

Great 🙂

Oh I absolutely agree. "It get's better?" Nice, so tell me when so I can skip the boring parts.

I have one of those plug-testers, and it gave me a warning on one twin socket - turns out the electrician that did the house re-wire had crossed live and neutral! That's not critical, but it did mean that the neutral was switched - not the live! and one socket was completely dead. When I took the top off - no wires - not even behind the wall-plate! They must have put the socket on to cover up a hole in the plasterboard!- - - The thing that annoys me about watching You-tube films is when they've been copied off someones tv, and the camera is zoomed in so far that the top, bottom, and sides of the vid are missing, and you can see the scan-lines on the screen - - - or the audio is so dreadful you can't hear the dialogue, because it sounds like the speaker is in a bean tin! (Definitely not a Billy's speaker!) - - - bad film series - I used to enjoy Airwolf, first time around (ignoring the physically impossible supersonic helicopter), but when you watch them again, back to back, you see they use the same clips over and over - and you have to wonder why nobody ever saw the jeep wheeltracks going into that cave!

It’s very true re tv we tried a new series but got 10-15 mins in and wernt that bother so did something else we’ve tried quite a few different things there’s a lot of rubbish tv out there

Did you get the 5 Babalone 5 films as well with the collection? Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

I have a rule when starting a new TV show I give it 4 episodes if I'm going to commit my time is Also limited. There's plenty of Shows I've barely even made it through episode one & others I've seen through to the end. I know that not everything is for everyone. What I don't get is the phenomenon of Hate watching. People watching a show etc "This is awful" or "this should be cancelled how does it keep getting renewed?" People be weird.

All my favorite shows are dead. And I hope the new Transformers movie will be good.
