BBC1:
A couple of cocksuckers, whose Mothers wish they had been sterilised before it was too late and they slipped out the wrong end. Completely dumbed-down version of the Chuckle Brothers, including fart and pee-pee jokes. You know they're only allowed to present so early because they can't get morning wood.

BBC2:
It's not the Fresh Prince, so it doesn't matter.

ITV:
Worse than BBC1, and not a looker in sight. I think this morning was Peter Andre, and one of the losers from S Club 7. Even the kids in the background look depressed.

C4:
Horse Racing from Ascot? Not sure, but that's all that's ever on that channel in the mornings. Got a glimpse of Tranny-World Sport, or whatever, but nothing to really catch my attention. In fact, this is the only channel that hasn't changed over the last 10 years - it still shows the same boring crap.

C5:
Home and Away omnibus. Amazingly it's got worse than Neighbours, and, again, not a looker on show.


Think back to ten years ago, and how great morning TV was. Going Live, Motormouth, even Timmy Mallet was cool back then. Someone at TV headquarters needs a good kick in the teeth.

Motormouth was the daddy, a gigantic game of mousetrap?

Best. Idea. Ever.

All went downhill after Ant and Dec departed Saturday mornings.

Zoe Ball and Jamie Theakston were good presenters on Live and Kicking. This was about 6 years ago.

Anyone remember The Noise with Andi Peters?

When you say MASK do you mean the cartoon of the film or M.A.S.K?

I liked the old transformers.

No, Saturday TV has always sucked ass.
It was only the actual programmes that made it good - Bucky O'Hare, always, + Turtles, + Racoons.

L&K was good, then all went bombshites until SMTV started, which is something of legends.

Rubbish, Ant and Dec on SMTV were utter genius'...

The way they made the children excited over silly Pokemon raps... whilst the younger teens knew they were just taking the pi$$.

Other than the bit about taking the pi$$, how right you are.

I remember when Bros (at least I think it was Bros or 5 Star, or a group of their ilk) were menaced by some cheeky prankster live on air during the viewer phone-in bit on Going Live.

They need to have more stuff like that on today, with ordinary members of the public venting their outrage and fury at the crap we have to be subjected to on TV nowadays, live on air, with swearing and embarrassed looking pop stars taking the flack they so rightfully deserve.

That's why Andi Peters invented the Internet, isn't it?
