I know others have made the same point, but 90% of this thread really is just "Things I personally don't like so will label them' overrated'"

Nah it's enjoyed by millions as easy watching. Not my kind of thing, but it's not exactly put forward as the pinnacle of TV.

Depends on what you like. I hate the shows my missus watches, she hates my shows. She watches stuff like Real Housewives and that Below Deck thing, I watch Car SOS, Fantom Works, Bangers for Cash, Wheeler Dealers, Goblin Works and very occasionally now Deadliest Catch.

I just googled that - Not what i was thinking it would be

Are the Inside Training clips from our club reality TV?  How about the carpool stuff?


There's too much of it on the telly these days, but some shows are still pretty fun, like Hell's Kitchen and Bake Off.   Basically anything food-related.

I don't mind anything with an element of skill like Bake Off or Strictly but the scripted shows with buffed and tattooed bimbos of each gender just contribute to body dysmorphia.

They're utter shite them, needless to say my missus watches all that crap too

Ouch!

That is a very valid point.

[Jono69]

Ouch!

I do agree with you though

Oh that fucking Georgie one is awful with some right mouthy fucks on it and why do the lads always move thier hands when talking.

Flipper. Useless as an actor, and only ever played the part of a dolphin.

And that one eyed twat of a lion, Clarence.

And Black Beauty, running around in an equine manner.

I felt that Flipper would have possibly made a better Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise, but obviously it was too far out of his comfort zone.

Yeah, I've never, ever heard anyone say reality TV is any good, ergo it is not overrated (unless you mean "TV ratings are undeservedly high"). People in the office may gossip about it endlessly, but they always end the discussion with "oh, it's just terrible isn't it, oh, we really should stop watching it shouldn't we?"

YES YOU FUCKING SHOULD, OR AT LEAST START BY NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!!!!

Pink Floyd. No idea why a band from Oxford or wherever are so revered in Liverpool.

Arent they from London? Radiohead are from Oxfordshire if I'm not mistaken.

Somewhere down south it’s all the same to me.

Cambridge I think? I only like Syd though, everything after is wildly overestimated

Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
He won it in the war
In nineteen-fourty four
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
In orange, red and blue
He found it in the zoo

that's good is it?

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can
When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire
Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

Not the biggest Floyd fan here but it's easy to make almost any band look bad by selectively quoting lyrics.

Pink Floyd. No idea why a band from Oxford or wherever are so revered in Liverpool.

I'd hazard that smoking weed has some part to play in it 

[Dr. Beaker]

Pop music in general - aimed at ten year olds and lapped up by adults?! I used to wonder why said adults didn't also read the books that were aimed ar ten year olds, but then Harry Potter came along.

I think that it's a fair shout because people genuinely love pop music (or at least selected stars) and there has been a concerted effort in reviewing circles to treat it seriously too (poptimism)

I have a friend who takes music seriously and will talk about old girl and boyband 2000s hits in deadly seriousness of them being great. Not to say that I never like the odd catchy tune, but not for me either.

  You know what, that is exactly the one I was thinking of 

But I love the tune and in the car when it's on, that particular line always gets a loud singalong as my partner and kids all LOVE porridge! So it works fine in context

What does that even mean? Why does it even matter where a band comes from?

Are The Beatles hated there or something?

I honestly thought they were from Liverpool until I had to read up about them. It does matter, they are wools.

Pink Floyd were tailor-made for Liverpool's pot-head culture.

Although I've never been a pot-head, I think Pink Floyd are a superb band.

All subjective, of course. 

[Elmo!]

Taking music seriously is overrated. No offense to anyone, but it always seems to me like such a miserable existence, finding fault with everything, and dismissing stuff because it doesn't live up to your standard of what is proper music.

(I used to be like this).

Happy memories of a load of us being in mates flat, they'd painted a wall black and covered it in flourescent spaceship, stars and moon stickers, we'd stick Floyd or the Doors on and get stoned and sit staring into space.
