Does look rather horrendous but BBC Three generally is a pretty horrendous channel.

BBC three only seems to have **** programmes from BBC1 as repeats, or stupid little britain.

Interestingly, wasn't it originally intended that many programmes would air first on BBC3 before being repeated on BBC1? Almost to entice people into getting the extra channels.

BBC Three's new colours suck donkey balls...

BBC Three used to show Family Guy episodes a lot, but they and FX tend to show the same ones as each other all the time. You can see some episodes of it now 4 times a night if you really want to, which sucks. Thankfully I have the full collection of DVDs anyway.

I also disagree with FX declaring theirselves to be showing Season 3 of American Dad! Bull***t. When checking their schedules the other day, all they had to go was season 2 at best. Lovely, just as I was hoping to see the new season. Same applies to Paramount Comedy 1. The 11th season of South Park originally came out on it last year, but they only showed a few episodes. Now they've declaring it to be brand new to the channel and never seen before on it! Riiiiiiiiiight. Even MTV have managed to show the full season on their channels by now.

I should give up relying on TV. The only reason I watch Paramount Comedy 1 or 2 now is to watch Frasier, as I don't have the DVDs at this time. Truely a great comedy.

Anyway, BBC Three used to be good but now I refuse to watch it. I didn't like their abandoning of American Dad! when that launched on it over here in the UK. Was on virtually every night, but the times kept changing and without warning it disappeared from the network. But I still watched it for things like Two Pints of Lager, but I never get to see that now.

Better off going back to videogames I think...

yeah, loads of top gear :D i like watching air crash investigation on national geographic :lol:

Air Crash Investigation is OK sometimes, but it sure seems to drag on and on and on occasionally. Mind, Seconds From Disaster was a LOT worse for that!

Seconds from Disaster always retells the story of the accident every time it returns from an advert break.... "A Boeing 747 has crashed in China, using state of the art technology to piece together those final SECONDS FROM DISASTER etc......" for about 2 minutes.


Still good though.

Oh aye, it seems to go on and tell you all about you already saw 5 minutes ago every time it comes back from breaks (hearing the same thing 4 times in the space of an hour gets annoying). But I don't watch it now as I've seen most if not all of them now.

Mythbusters is a programme I do enjoy watching, although I regretted not watching the one on the other afternoon about the best way to chill beer cans. Sounded interesting. The Hindenburg one I did see a couple of days ago was cool though.
