Something we should never stop talking about, because when talking stops history repeats itself and by talking Baby P, Victoria Climbie and Daniel Pelka will not have died in vain

Iv'e used them in my uni work for different stuff and we have a child protection unit sometime soon, should be a intresting unit now since all the new details.

South Park used to be a staple of my weekly viewing around 6 or 7 years ago.

Haven't watched in quite some time.

As for old episodes, 'Good Times with Weapons' from Season 8 is pretty funny as is the episode 'Awesome-O'

I consider the movie to be poor if I'm honest. 

To me, the film comes across as a musical - a genre I loathe in any form.

Lol...I see what you mean mate, but the Devil as Saddams bitch is just something I find funny in whatever it may be put across...

Have not seen South Park for years, these days Im more of a Family Guy person

Family Guy is another thing which I can either take it or leave it.

It's alright, I find it amusing enough, but it's not something I'll go out of my way to watch. 

I probably prefer American Dad to Family Guy, and while I'm at it, Futurama to The Simpsons.

Love Futurama, havent seen it for ages, The Simpsons, I can take take it or leave it, same with Amrerican Dad, I have not seen a lot of it though, if I am channel hopping and it is on, I will watch it, but dont go out my way to watch it


RE: General TV thread - Andreos1 - 06 Nov 2014

Old school Simpsons beats anythiny else of that genre - in my opinion.
Ren & Stimpy, Futurama, South Park, American Dad and Family Guy just fade into comparison.


General TV thread - R852 PRG - 06 Nov 2014

I watch Family Guy just about every night - when I see a good American Dad episode I record it. The Simpsons, I watch when I happen to turn on the television and it isn't one of the first ones!

I absolutely hate Futurama - don't find it funny in the slightest. That's the problem with people starting with one show, then making another but on a separate tangent!


RE: General TV thread - MurdnunoC - 06 Nov 2014

Futurama is subtle in its grittiness - there's a lot of dark humour contained within the background which isn't immediately noticeable.


General TV thread - R852 PRG - 07 Nov 2014

Wonder what Les & Pam are up to.....?

Completely missed this entire discussion...

I'm not a huge fan of South Park, though I do dip in and out of Futurama every now and again.

I used to love The Simpsons as a kid, and I occasionally watch it now when channel-flicking and often think "How do they air this, when kids are their target audience?" due to some of the references made, but I'm not a huge fan. Some episodes of Family Guy and American Dad can be pretty good, others I sit there and think that it's the worst 20-odd minutes of my life. I quite liked The Cleveland Show too - admittedly not as much as Family Guy or American Dad. I also tend to watch Bob's Burgers whenever I remember about it.

Les looks rather guilty at the moment, doesn't he?!


On another note - I know Bob the Builder has previously been discussed in this(?) thread, so thought this may be worth a read for some.

Jesus.... wtf happened to kids shows!

Me too, i also wonder what Les done?... maybe they just teasing for the Lucy Beale murder!


RE: General TV thread - MurdnunoC - 09 Nov 2014

I wasn't that impressed with the season finale of Doctor Who last night.

The whole episode could have probably been condensed to around 15 minutes of storyline if all the nonsensical crap was removed.
