!@£$%&#!! TV Stations

I don't know about other countries but I get really frustrated with Oz's tv stations.

First of all, they have lousy tv programes. It's either sports or reality shows. For those who love to watch reality tv shows, Oz will be considered a haven. And not forgetting the sports freak out there. Every Saturday and Sunday is basically sports sports sports. And every evening, the news have a half an hour worth of sport segment. In fact, they have more to report for sports than any other news all over the world combined!

Oh I almost left out another favourite of the Ozzie tv shows... those cop and robber ones. You'll have a wide selection ranging from CSI Las Vegas, CSI Miami, CSI New York, SVU, Law & order, Numbers, Women's Murder Club, Burnt Notice etc etc.... Every day, Monday to Friday...same story lines, just a change of casts and names. On some days, they even have a double whammy. On top of that, they have reality shows on Borders Security, Real CSI etc etc... how dry can you get.

But enough of that. The second most irritating thing about the Oz tv stations is, they swap tv programes around, change the time slots, replace any shows without any prior notice! And they don't even bother to inform you when the shows will come back or if it's a repeat. How irritating is that! Imagine you have this favourite show that you would not miss and you looked forward to it whole week and on that faithful timeslot, something else eg Law & Order (again), comes on instead! How disappointing and frustrating. What were they thinking?! Do we need more Law & Order??? Oh did I mention they even have double episodes of Law & Order....double the disappointment.

I just cannot understand... It totally buffled me that those people at the tv stations can be so "imaginative" in their job. Won't that kinda reflect how organise the organisations are and how much pride they took in their jobs?
