Sunday Stealing - TV Meme part two

       Just click on this little link to be part of the Sunday meme

16. Talk Shows. Do you watch daytime talk TV? If so, do you prefer the calm shows like Oprah or the wilder side like Jerry Springer?  I prefer late night talk shows with celebrity guests. 

17. Which daytime talk TV show would you like to be on? What would the topic be?  The Jeremy Kyle Show asking him when the hang is this pile of shit show gonna end!

18. Before talk TV took over game shows ruled the airways during the day, which do you prefer? Or are you a soap opera fan?  I much prefer quiz shows.

19. Is there a game show (past or present) you think you would do really well on, as a contestant? I would quite have fancied a go at Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.  I've had some fairly good results at home, but it's a different kettle of fish when you're challenged live, I guess!

20. Who is your favorite game show host? Who is your least favorite?  Bradley Walsh of The Chase is my favourite.  He just can't hold a laugh in as this clip below shows: (keep in mind that the 'fanny' here is used under British context!)

I loathe Jeremy Paxman on University Challenge, he's a right paint-dryer!

21. Marathons. Have you watched any TV marathons? In part? In whole? Is there a show you’d like to see run an all day marathon? On the flipside is there a show you’d avoid in marathon?  I'm forever recording series of every kind of TV show to catch up with, so I couldn't really pick one in particular.

22. Out of curiosity, what’s the longest you’ve ever watched TV in one stretch? In excess of 24 hours.  I had a virus that made every muscle in my body ache and I remember hardly moving from the settee as it was agony.  Sleep was impossible too, then.

23. On the whole do you feel most Special Reports are really that special? Or are they simply annoying? What special report has effected you most? (IE: (9/11, Reagan being shot…etc)  The Dunblane Massacre of 1996 when that nutter Thomas Hamilton ran into a primary school and shot dead sixteen little 5 year old's and their teacher.  What an effect that left.  Households still light a candle at their window every March 13th, yet.
   

24. What is the (pick one: stupidest, saddest, silliest, most disgusting..) thing you’ve ever seen on TV?   Life of Grime and Hoarders make for difficult viewing at times.

25. What’s your fondest memory of something on TV? Hearing Glen Michael of Cartoon Cavalcade read out that my twin and I , aged 8 at the time, were the winners of the 'name the new stuffed toys' competition.  We won a book token! Remember the names still!

26. What’s the first show you remember watching regularly?  Monty Pythons Flying Circus, although I was too young then to truly appreciate it.

27. What shows would make up a perfect night of TV viewing for you?  Coronation Street, followed by a David Attenborough  documentary, then 8 Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown, quiz-cum-comedy show, all rounded off with  Circque de Soleil - Worlds Away!

28. You get to create one show to put on the schedule, with any stars you choose. Who and what would it be?  Dinner Date with Viggo Mortensen, Simon Baker and Eric Stoltz as my dates.

29. Canceling or Not. What show(s) would you cancel without a moment’s hesitation?

Is there a show (previously canceled or just no longer airing) that you’d bring back, original cast and all?  All these f*****g property and holiday shows would be for the boot!  And for a return the delightfully sad little misfit from the 70's..........Oh, Calimero.





30. What’s the best series finale you remember?  I have to admit, I enjoyed Patrick Jane's demise of Red John from The Mentalist but it took way too long to get to that point.  You ended up not giving a shit about justice with the time they were taking over it.
