Sick of TV companies inventing progs for celebs?

“Interior design masters with Alan Carr”

I don’t watch an awful lot of normal tv but I really notice (while waiting for snooker, on this occasion) that every time I see clips about new shows they’re plugging, they’re almost invariably a ‘vehicle’ for some fking tired celeb that is nothing to do with the subject matter of the st programme they’ve just invented.

ie they plainly invent these trashy programmes just for these washed up poxy celebs?

Maddening.

I just don’t watch them

[Stealthracer]

Well I've said it before and I'll say it again, it doesn't matter how crap a programme is, one way to make it even worse is to insert the word 'Celebrity' into the title.

And adding the words 'with (Whoever)' onto the end is pretty much the same thing. Avoid!

The most depressing thing about them is that once said celeb is in the 'xx with Said Celeb' category, they're not going anywhere for the next few decades until they die or turn out to be yet another nonce.

TV commissioners don't like to take risks.

Celebrity mastermind is brilliant (for all the wrong reasons i.e David Lammy). I would pay to watch celebrity crocodile wrestling.

[Castrol for a knave]

The only celebrity programme I would ever watch, would be Battle Royale.

Celebrity googlebox is a misnomer - I’ve never heard of the most of chancers they get on

They should have made Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank.

That's true of a lot of these programmes - most of the celebrities are only famous for having been on other celebrity shows. It all seems very incestuous but unfortunately unlike the Hapsburgs there always seems to be a steady stream of new entrants to the gene pool.

Celebrities are gorgeous. And superior.

Yield to them and bask in the sun they radiate.

Sending them off on an expensive holiday so they can "discover" stuff that everyone already knows about.

I can't stand normal Traitors because I don't like watching people being asreholes to each other, however I loved Celebrity Traitor because I enjoy watching celebrities being asreholes to each other.

[brownspeed]

not to mention Roger Mellie's famous celebrity sh!t in a bucket

[The0perator]

I remember watching the running man film back in the day and thinking how crazy are all these 'reality' tv programmes they would never happen... its satire.. then look at TV now
