Moore blames women for 'banal' TV

This cracked me up:

I agree with him about the banality of a lot of tv programmes, not sure it's all down to the women though!

I do like the bloke though, he's very respected in the astronomy field, I wonder if Heather Cooper is going to give him a slap next time she sees him?

I hope so. Incedently, my boss's wife is a fellow in Radio Astronomy at Cambrigde University. Wonder what he has to say about women in astronomy anyway?

He's right about the rubbish on TV but I'm a woman and I don't watch it so his sexist reasoning doesn't hold water. :yelrotflmao:

I watch less and less. Even hubby has stopped watching Corrie.

i used to watch all the soaps until the beginning of the year when they all got crap, now i only watch eastenders

[Sweetpea]

As Eastenders bares so little resemblance to the real East End, where I come from, I can't stick that either.

I dont watch the mess on telly but it is the topic of conversation at many canteen tables in a morning.

ITS FOR WOMEN TO TEMPT AND MEN TO RESIST!!

So nothing has changed then and women have the beeb and itv making rubbish to keep them out of the kitchen and stop doing the dishes. As the women of the house has spent the money the man of the house does the dishes as he cant get to the pub.

to be honest Spuggie......I would rather clean the oven (my most hated job on earth, well next to cleaning the toilet) than watch some of the drivel on the TV.

Banal ... dictionaries describe this as drearily commonplace and predictable.

I would interprete as .association with one's everyday life and comforting. Much better than leaving you wondering 'What the hell was that all about?' by some clever know-it all intellectual.

Silly old goat. !
