Gods, I HATE tennis.

[panik]

Bloody, bloody Wimbledon. It infests our screens for two weeks a year like an itchy and embarrassing skin disease. It is made of the most epic dull - and now I find they've cancelled Supersizers because of it, the only thing worth watching today.

Do not cross me people, for I have killed before.

Oh boy. While others on my flist are posting away about the tennis, here you are hating it. I was beginning to wonder if everyone over there loved tennis. *g*

Not a big fan of sports on TV at all, but luckily, this time of year, there are none that interfere with any of our viewing. =>}

Good luck!

Yeah, I tolerate most sports if they keep to their proper place and don't dominate the TV and push everything else aside. Wimbledon and snooker are the worst offenders. It's not like I even watch a lot of TV, there are a very few shows I really like and they're the ones getting cancelled for tennis. Makes me want to scream - a LOT.

Here, it's mainly during the American Basketball season. They go on and on and the station never airs the show I want in full, but starts it "in progress". I just hate that! =<{}

"in progress".

Do you mean they start the show halfway through? In which case, what the frack...?!
Here they just cancel all existing schedules till the Big! important game is over - we will get our shows, just not now, you know - some as-yet-to-be specified time in the future. I understand that it's a BIG game, a once or never thing for those who care about it and I don't usually whine but after two weeks of it I start getting a bit frayed around the edges, you know? Makes me tear my hair a bit. :o)

"Do you mean they start the show halfway through? In which case, what the frack...?!"

Exactly! It's infuriating! I would LOVE it if they aired my shows at a later date. That would be fabulous! But NOOOOO! They either kick them off for that week, or as I said, show what's left when the stupid-assed game is over.

Fortunately, I haven't been watching much on that channel since Angel ended.
