There is a God.....

Not only has "Ugly Betty" been canned but today I hear that "Friends" has been canned from Channel 4 E4 and E4+1 !!!

Happy days :)

Friends was ok the first time around it had a freshness to it that you rarely see in American made TV.... but like all things you can get utterly sick of it when you've seen it countless times on the Nth repeat, there is such a thing as a TV station getting it's money's worth but I think Channel 4 has beaten this one to death since 1994....

lets face it 16 lonnnnnnnnng years of the same episodes day after day would stretch the patience of a saint let alone the average TV viewer .... we don't even have to suffer politicians for that long, and besides the original cast probably have been moulded into different people now with frightened rabbit smiles and chins where their noses should be by plastic surgeons trained by the makers of play doh.....

So hopefully "Friends" will be laid to rest to gather dust in the TV archives of yesteryear... only to be dragged out once a year on one of those low budget "Top 1000 TV shows" to fill a gap between peak viewing hours and the insomniac hour.... no doubt though some failing channel will be offered a cut down bargain basement price for the entire series and it will reappear .... but lets hope its on one of those encrypted channels like Gold or the likes .....that nobody watches :)

The only other news is that Xbox boy has finally got himself another job I hope he does well in it ....his sister on the other hand is being BARB tested to join the Army Apprentice College (I have a theory about that..... in that her pocket money stops at 16) ... so good luck to both of them :)
