And the award for ‘No longer remotely funny’ goes to…

When did Family Guy become so dismal? It certainly wasn’t recently, but it was only watching tonight’s that I realised just how crap it really has become.

I remember when the humour was clever, genuinely controversial and interesting. Now it’s just repetitive, trying too hard to be controversial and very base. Shame.

You know what the bigger shame is though? I’ll probably continue to watch it, it’s one of my televisual flaws…once I start watching a show I tend to stick with it. Even when I don’t like it any more.

What’s wrong with me?

I am a bad blogger!

I have not updated for a few days, wanna know why?

I have not watched any TV since the weekend. Oi, how atrocious of me to not watch TV when I am trying to run a TV opinions blog! What can I say, I have been a busy bunny — spending time with my fiance, going to the cinema and doing one of my favourite things…shopping shopping shopping.

I have a whole world of shows to catch up with though, all my UK soaps and American reality. I have no plans over the weekend, so I am going to get busy then and you can expect lots of opinions winging their way to you.

Survivor Gabon – Mid Season

Well, I had planned to post after each episode of Survivor Gabon, the fact I have not is a good indication of how I feel about the season.

It’s not bad, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think any season of Survivor could ever be bad — it’s just not going to be one of the classics.

Firstly it’s boring when one tribe dominates so much. It’s only now I feel like I know anything about most of the Kota members…but at the same time I do want Fang to fail, they’ve been pretty much the dumbest tribe in Survivor history, making dumb move after dumb move — they don’t deserve rewards and immunity so I am glad they aren’t getting them — but it makes for boring viewing.

Secondly, too much tribe switching up. Twice now they have done it, and that’s before the merge. Survivor isn’t meant to be a game of luck, it’s a game of skill and as boring and predictable and frustrating as it might be seeing someone dominate, if they do it they do it. Switching tribes so much just screws peoples games, sends people home before their time, makes weaker people able to stay.

Oh well, hopefully it will pick up post merge, it’s certainly done that before (last season any one?)

New direction for Jeoberpta!

I have been thinking about this blog over the last few days and realised that I don’t love it, why? Well I already have not one, but two personal blogs, I don’t need a third — when I created the site the idea was to make it more niche, but the niche was going to just come to me in a flash and it never did.

Until today. The new month must have inspired me.

So, Jeoberpta.com is now to become….drum roll please….my TV related blog! I am going to talk about what I watch on TV each day. Now, I am not promising in depth, thought provoking reviews — though they may indeed happen some times, it’ll most likely mainly me having a rant about how stupid todays Neighbours was (and fyi, it was!) and moaning that certain hotties I happen to have a crush on cannot be mine.

But it’ll be interesting. I watch TV from around the world…mainly home grown UK stuff, but also lots of American and Australian shows among others. My main genres are reality, soaps, comedies and documentaries, but I like a bit of everything.

So come along for the ride :)

In bed with my telly

Sorry for not blogging for a few days, I was suffering with a cold all last week so didn’t feel much like being online at all…never mind blogging.

I spent the week in bed with some TV, it was a great week to be sick TV wise at least — what with so many American shows coming back on air — Survivor, The Amazing Race, Prison Break, Smallville, Heroes…the list goes on. I also managed to get through some films I have been meaning to watch for ages — Juno, Sweeny Todd, Hellboy and Superbad!

Indeed, there are worse times to get ill…I am almost sorry I am better :)

A boring old Sunday

My day. Got up and spent 4 and a half hours online trying to restore my reality tv site that I had to switch to a new host. I still have some things to do there, and although I can access it I don’t think any one else can yet — it’s caused me lots of stress so far, and it aint over yet. I don’t even know if it’s going to be staying where it is now so I might have to move it again, nnnooooooooooooooo.

I made myself a ‘I don’t know how to cook’ style Sunday roast for one because the other half was out. This comprised of instant gravy, a microwaved chicken pie, tinned green beans and tinned potatoes.

Then I went to the gym and did some running on my elliptical, I didn’t enjoy it because I am full of cold and must be all congested because I could really feel my chest burning/hurting. I still stuck with it for 50 minutes though, yay me.

I just watched a few hours of TV. The Amazing Race Asia and Strictly Come Dancing.

And now I am going straight back to working on my sites. Curse you, Dreamhost.com.
