Hee! This is amusing me.
as the award for the Year's Most Jarring Show goes to the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, which somehow managed to feel like both a multi-coloured children's show and a heaving sex-and-gore bodice-ripper at the same time. The constant clash of mutually-incongruous tones meant watching it felt like stumbling across a hitherto secret episode of Postman Pat in which Pat runs down 15 villagers while masturbating at the wheel of his van. Interesting, but possibly aimed at madmen.
Hee, so true, yet I still love it! :P
Speaking of advances and the lack of them, the Year's Most Outmoded Thing was the television set itself - yes, even the fancy HD ones. What with torrent sites, YouTube, DVDs, PSPs and iPods with video playback, you don't need a telly to watch "telly" any more. I probably spent a third of my telly-watching time in 2006 watching "TV" on a laptop.
So true!
