I LOVED Red Dwarf as a teenager: I'd make time every evening to sit and watch it on the TV. I also remember Black Adder. My dad loved that TV show. I understood its humour pretty quickly. Plus, French and Sauders, Smith & Jones, The Two Ronnies: I know - and love - them all.

"The Tomorrow War"...stinker, wow was I wrong.
TV commercials seem to be devolving. Older commercials were annoying enough but these at least made a sales pitch. Today, I sometimes don't even know what it is being promoted until the last few seconds.
Others, seem silly, just obvious attempts to shoe-horn as many "minorities" as possible into sixty seconds. Others seem more corporate guilt trips and who needs those?

There's this one commercial that comes on constantly that I cringe at... it's for ice cream, but it does not give you an ice cream vibe at all. It's all about relationships and an engagement?? I thought it was for jewelry lol the song is cheesy as heck, too.

There's one here I still haven't figured out. Lots of sports people pulling up with injuries or falling over and the song non regrette rien.. then some tagline about working towards our successes.. I keep meaning to find out what its about but at the moment Im just left scratching my head...
( Talk of the devil so to speak... It's just popped up on TV this time I paid attention and it's sponsored by Toyota at the end of the advert a little Olympics logo pops up I hadn't seen that before...)

The gecko, now he I get.
I have been noticing that with the commercials. There are so many times I have turned to my husband and said "what was that for".

The most annoying ar perfume ads. Patronising is too kind a word to describe them.

I am finding them a big turn off nowadays. I do wonder where they are at as in quite a few now there is no sound or speech that relates to any product at all so if I was blind or looking at something else for a moment they would mean nothing. As such they are missing an audience? I must admit that my inquisitiveness is now heavily tempered with adverts. I find I don't care any more what a strange advert means. I have enough to think about without my mind being scrambled by an advert for something that I would probably avoid on principle as it's price would have to be inflated to cover the cost of advertising anyway lol
Just as an aside here in the Uk and nearby - Does anyone listen to Radio Caroline on the radio? Listening recently I have actually been much turned off from turning on at all by one of the adverts they are airing. It is advertising buying use of premium rate phone numbers. To me it is the advertising of scam lines. Maybe I am reading it wrong but the station has gone right down in my estimation just from their airing of this one advert.
We are finishing up Bloodlines tonight. I am curious how it will end because I think it got cancelled before they intended, so I guess they will rush things or leave some parts unanswered lol

Wow, it was not good LOL the second to the last episode was really bad and random, too... Yikes.
Finished the BeForeigners.. I really hope that a series 2 comes because I was quite getting into it as it finished and left us with lots of unanswered questions..
Last night OH said lets watch a film! He never wants to watch new films he gets confused about whos who.
So I had a quick flick through netflix and saw 6 mnutes to midnight with Eddie Izzard and dame Judy Dench, two people he knows , its set in 1939 just on the eve of WWII at a girls school in Bexhill on sea .
It was actually a nice story a very Sunday afternoon film and OH enjoyed it.
