Does anyone still watch Saturday night tv? Everyone's on YouTube. ITV in particular is going to get reduced to almost nothing in the long run because I just can't see them adapting to the new digital age.

i don't even watch Tv anymore. I just stream it online, or get the DVD. But I am a cheap student.

I don't need TV any more. Youtube has enough videos of people being beaten up with the Streetfighter 2 music dubbed over the top to keep me entertained indefinitely.

I dropped my cable for about a year. I honestly missed TV.
I loved streaming and downloading TV and movies, but the whole thing turned out to be a lot of work. It is so easy to just channel surf, instead of knowing exactly what you want to watch at all times.
So, I got a dish. Now I split up the dish usage with streaming about 50/50.

In Australia Saturday night TV has always been terrible. Australia's Funniest Home Videos & The Bill are the best shows on which shows you how bad it is.

I've been watching quite a lot of TV recently, mainly due to the wonders of a Sky+ box and being able to set whole series to record with the touch of a button - genius!
Lately, I've mostly been watching:
Heroes
Dragons Den
Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares
Long Way Down
The Ultimate Fighter
Journeyman
I will also watch anything from Louis Theroux when it's on TV (which is all too rare these days!)
But Saturday TV in particular? Not so much, apart from MOTD.

Ah...I had no idea it had been cancelled.
It's a damn shame as it was the closest thing to Quantum Leap I've seen in a long time, and Kevin McKidd is a great actor. I have not managed to catch any of the TV series Rome which McKidd stars in, but if you like him as an actor, you should check out a few of the better films he has been in - Trainspotting, Small Faces, and Dog Soldiers.

saturday night tv used to be about entertainment programming: generation game, noel's house party, blind date, etc.
now all those kind of shows, the ones that featured normal people playing games, have been replaced by shows that have celebrities playing games or try to turn normal people into celebrities
it's not family fortunes anymore, it's 'all-star family fortunes,' it's not mr and mrs it's 'all-star mr and mrs.' normal people can't dance with each other, they have to be 'stars.'
*sigh*

As someone who worked in TV format development for many years I would like to point out its kinda interesting how the 'talent show' format was flat out dead for a couple of entire decades, but is now the biggest thing out there.
