To be honest, I get offended by the inane tripe shown on mainstream TV - the 'soaps' especially try to outdo each other with controversial stories that touch on 'sensitive and current' issues.

Reality TV and Celebrity shows . . what's that all about then if not poking fun and embarrassing people in front of the whole viewing public?

Comedy? you're having a laugh, good sitcoms are rare now, as are true comedians.

You get the odd Drama that's ok for a series or two, but then usually falls flat or too repetitious.

Many of you out there will disagree with the above, I could well be the 1 in 10,000 minority . . . but what happens if I (and others like me) suddenly start writing in saying I'm offended by the awful, sometimes childish, often cheap viewing that is being offered to me?

How long before everything on TV has a warning before, during, and after its viewing?

We currently have pay-to view sport, pay-to-view porn etc . . so why can't we have a pay-to-view channel which features the old classic shows that are now deemed 'offensive' to some . .

As you can maybe guess, I don't watch much TV . . but I do trawl Youtube for the (few remaining) classics that made me laugh or held my attention longer than 23 seconds.
