#TV looks so much better in black and white. As I very young kid, I would rather watch the Brady Bunch than #DrWho, until on a school holiday stay with my grandparents, I watched it on their portable B&W, and decided it was the most brilliant thing ever. Later, inspired by Woody Allen's late-70s monochrome films, I used to turn the colour all the way down on our TV. It makes everything look better. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/nov/08/uk-households-black-and-white-tv-licensing

I still wonder why my parents thought it so important that children go to bed at 8:30 sharp. Perhaps they thought I'd benefit from waking refreshed, turning on the #TV, and enjoying a few Open University broadcasts before dawn. Not to mention The Thunderbirds, Bonanza, Danger Man, Gomer Pyle, Jackie Gleeson, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In…

How on earth is "Super-recogniser Squad" not a #TV show? http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/18318

I think reality #TV should widen its scope, beyond competitive building and cooking, to other professions. Consider what some enthusiastic amateurs, dramatic music, and portentous voice-overs could to do for accountancy, cardiac surgery, or prostitution. "It's day three in the bawdy house, and a now inconsolable Dave has failed to impress his fifth John of the day, while for his notoriously slapdash wife Cindy the silver lining of a botched triple bypass is that her patient is now in no condition to complain about the late lodgment of his tax return."

When popular culture is priced by weight: books thicker than they are wide. https://xkcd.com/2005/ I blame ad execs-turned-authors Fay Weldon and Bryce Courtenay. Pursuant, the requirement that movies be part of a "franchise" and #TV that can only be appreciated in season-long binges. #xkcd

There's some woman on #ABC #TV at the moment talking about how her move from #Sydney to #Sawtell resulted in so much less stress that she hasn't had a drink in 11 years. <sarcasm>OMG! Same here!</sarcasm><slurp />

So, ah. This was a thing. Oh goodness, the company we keep whenever we switch on that wretched box. http://brucesterling.tumblr.com/post/174409609908 #TV

#RIP Rodney Bewes, #UK film and #TV's universal best mate. Bob Ferris in the Likely Lads and Billy Liar's Arthur Crabtree. Also great in Resurrection of the Daleks, a comparatively rare example of 80s #DrWho celebrity stuntcasting actually working. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/11/rodney-bewes-1937-2017.html

#OMGA, broadcast #TV. "We have to get real here. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think outside the box. We'll never cooperate unless we work together. Are you even ready to hear what I'm trying to say?"

@kat With rising "production values" #TV has developed a phobia for dialogue (not to mention humour). If you can't say it with alternating blue and orange saturated colour palettes, meaningful facial expressions and explosions, it doesn't get to air.

@kat Don't miss the unfairly maligned #TV series. It came after the radio, LP, novelisation, towel, etc. and is IMHO the most polished version. Apart from the low budget and lacklustre direction. But oh! The "computer" animation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbWAwynNf-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuumnjJWFO4 #H2G2

#TV informs me there's such a thing as a "revenge body". As in "you broke up with me, now look how sexy I am!" Um, okay, good luck with that. Personally, I sport an "unprovoked attack body". Nobody did anything to deserve having to look at it, yet here I am.
