An hour and a half ago, Channel 7 confirmed what I had suspected for quite some time now, THEY SUCK! Why do they suck? I believe that the head honchos at Seven hold some kind of vendetta against me. They seem determined to kill off all my favorite TV shows by moving them around, seemingly at random, never to find a solid audience, and therefore never hold up well in the ratings. This in turn means that they die a slow and obscure death.

It all started with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A near perfect television program. It got moved around a bit before finding a semi permanent home during the late night slot. They quickly followed that screw up with Angel, ensuring that only the unemployed or true insomniacs would be watching it go to air. Yeah, I was bitter about Buffy and Angel, but I’m thankful for my VCR and DVD’s. I struggled through.

Ok, twice, maybe a coincidence, I shouldn’t take it personally right? Wrong! Channel Seven decide to kick me in the nuts for the third time by giving Alias the run around. It’s on at 8.30, 9.30, 10.30, 11.30, Tuesday nights, or Wednesday nights, or was it on Thursday’s I can’t actually remember now? In any case, series four left us with a cliff hanger, and dammit I must have good grip cause I’m still hanging! If/when Seven eventually screen series 5, they’ll have lost me, all going well I’ll have picked up series 5 on DVD from the US. In your face Seven! In your face!

Tonight, Seven committed their fourth sin against me. The adventures of Jack Bauer and the rest of his homies on 24 make for must see TV. Seven decide to launch series 6 with 4 hours in 2 days, 8.30-10.30 Tuesday and Thursday. A tough ask, even of a committed TV addict, never the less, I soldiered on. Only to get to the end of tonight’s episode and hear the voice over guy say, “and don’t forget the all new time for 24 next week, 10.30 Wednesday”. Geez, quit busting my balls Seven, start programming sensibly or else I’m going to have no choice but to demand reparations! If anyone from Seven reads this could you please have the decency to hand over all your quality programs to Channel 10 or something? Gosh. Channel Seven is the audio visual version of a colon cleanse. Now I'll climb down from my tv mount.
