This week I have admittedly watched a lot of E4, which as we know results in watching the same American dramas all day on a loop. It does also mean that you have to listen to that dreadful announcer man who thinks it's hilarious to use the word 'ruddy' in every sentence but this week he didn't just take the biscuit - he took the whole 'ruddy' tin!
Background info:
I am absolutely mad about the American series, 'How I Met Your Mother'. It's tag line is 'A Love Story in Reverse' and so you are watching just that - the lead character, Ted, telling his children in the fututre how he met their mother. It's very cleverly written as not only can you watch any of the episodes as one off funny programs- if you watch all the episodes from every season they are intricately weaved together so, for instance, something mentioned in season one may now be explained properly until season three. A normal sitcom can't do this as it would have a pool of writers and different director each episode - this doesn't happen with How I Met Your Mother as it's always the same team.
Why am I furious?
WELL. The stupid advert for How I Met Your Mother is a ridiculous negative advertising ploy to say that 'it's just like Friends' and you've seen it all before. Firstly this is not true and Secondly why on earth do that think that would make people watch it- if they have spent money on buying the program in for E4, why on earth demean it with it's advertising??? I wrote to channel 4 yesterday and gave them a piece of my mind on it and aparently the email will be passed to the appropriate people. They are such IDIOTS!
