It is no big shock to see figures for Channel 4 viewership has gone down below the 10% mark what with Brookside dying on its arse and Rise as riveting to watch as Terry Wogan hosting a Channel 5 programme but the whole blame I think has to be levelled at FRIENDS. Channel 4 should rename itself to Friends TV because all it seems to show is Friends. Dont believe me. Well have a look at this

THESE FIGURES ARE REAL
Number of Friends episodes today on Channel 4 / E4 - NINE

Number in last 7 days - TWENTY FOUR

Thats an average of 3 and a bit episodes a day. If your a fan then you are more than likely to have seen every episode at least 3 times.

The problem is that in 2004 is the year that The Simpsons join Channel 4. What is the betting that Channel 4 will kill the popularity of the Simpsons too with a constant showing at 6pm every day with a showing in the morning at 7:30am and a 5 show omnibus on Sunday. I know a lot of people like the Simpsons but how many times do we need to see the episode of Krusty Camp that must have been on every week 2 years ago when BBC2 got the rights.

Sky One show the Simpsons six times a day sometimes, so there could be ten showings some days on TV. I am not complaining, though.

[Uglybob]

but with sky one its understandable, we have come to expect this from sky.

[gregs]

could be worse - they could re-run ri:se

[Uglybob]

as long as they just re-run the news bulletins, i wouldnt mind it.

are c4 showing the salon in the mornings now? no wonder there raitings are going down.... the first time I ever saw a bit of this was on the hundred great momments of tv in 2003 the other night. Oh dear....

[MC]

yep they are

7am everyday

friends is at 7.30 - it might just be me but is it really suitable for this early in the morning?

[David]

i wont be watching it... but I have something better to be listening to in the morning..........
















Yes, Terry Wogan!

Only joking...

All the kids will be watching the kids programmes on BBC Two or Channel 5 I should think.

[Ahh_Pathetic]

channel 4's shows coming up are nearly all american. the only thing that looks any good is this thing with chris bisson in. channel 4 used to be brilliant a few years ago its just gone to sh*t.

[Uglybob]

the salon - i dont know how anyone can watch that crap. its on e4 from 10am in the morning to 7 at night before xmas.
100 greatest moments was so biased towards their own channel. like wifeswap at number 2. Either that or 2003 was really dull.
