So Channel 5 are bringing back Big Brother. WHY ?
In my mind it is nothing but Peeping Tom TV / Viewing For Voyeurs / Me TV and a total and utter waste of viewing time.
Over the several series broadcast by Channel 4 many friends and work colleagues tried to convince me that the program was worth watching. And I did try to watch it on numerous occasions but I just couldn’t keep my attention focussed or my eyes open. There was no story line, no plot, nothing to guide you as to its purpose. Quite often there were just mindless loud mouthed nobodies performing for the camera.
Their actions just a desperate shout of “Don’t look at them, look at ME !!!”
Its rumoured that they, Endemol and Channel Five, are spending in the region of £220 million to try and drag 20 million viewers to Channel 5. The money would have been better spent on bringing decent drama to our screens. There are just too many fly-on-the-wall programs, too many talent shows on all the channels.
Mindless TV.
Where is the stimulation for the masses ? Bring back proper entertainment and stop flooding our living rooms with wannabe celebrities.
And just a thought … George Orwell in his novel, 1984, introduced us to Big Brother.
Big Brother was actually the state (the few) watching the masses. I think in the case of the TV show the telescope is back to front.
