I'm so with you on this subject River........... I'm so with you on this subject River......I think over running the scheduled time is treating the viewers with total discourtesy and shows how little the station bosses really care about us.<br />My hubby records everything we are likely to watch.. and quite often, even with extra time before and after the show, we have no endings because of program over run.<br />We don't watch reality shows for all the reasons that have already been said here. <br />So glad that Angel has recovered... xxxx<br />Hugs ...

I'm with Merle. The shows are quite tedious now.

Too many ads for one thing, and on top of that each time they come back from an ad, they recap the last minute or so.<br /><br />joeh; the program I wait for is on the same channel, so I don't miss any of that. I don't watch The Block at all, I hate those shows, but do turn the TV on when it is supposed to finish and mute the sound until my preferred show comes on. Just in case they keep to schedule. (*~*)<br /><br />Lee; they may think they're keeping me glued to their channel, but it isn't working. I don't turn on the TV at all until my preferred program is due to start.<br />Angel is fine, I meant to do an update, but I've been busy reading. I had absolutely no luck getting those 1/4 tablets into him, I truly thought he would just lick them off a spoon if I mixed them with something he loved. I'm not game enough to try shoving one down his throat, I'd probably lose an arm...but he has come good on his own. There must be something going around because my daughter's cat has the same thing.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; see my answer to Lee about Angel. I assume that photo app was developed so people could take photos when on holiday and straightaway convert them to postcards to send back to family and friends. <br /><br />Merle; I never watched The block or any other reality show. They're boring and repetetive to me, I have no interest there. Like you said, infighting and over acting, also over reacting when something goes wrong like you see on the ads for my Kitchen Rules. Someone is always so terribly, terribly upset....usually over nothing.

I don't find that's a problem. All channels are guilty of the crime...it's a way of keeping the viewer glued to their particular channel, I guess. <br /><br />It doesn't concern me too much because I 'm able to record other channels. I can record three and watch another separate show/channel, if and when the need arises; and I've learned (from experience) to allow enough time at the start of a programme and at the end to cover all bases.<br /><br />River...I meant to ask you yesterday...how is Angel? I hope all is well with him again.
