Sad news, Quizmania will be coming to an end on Januray 14th on ITV Play, even though I hate the quiz channel genre, it was the only decent thing about them, what next for Greggles?

[Ballbag]

Interesting point Jetman, but there are three words in your statement that I disagree with, "sad", "news" and "decent".

Other than that, well done.

[MK Chris]

What exactly is different about this and all the other bilge, it's all the same.

[Zenon]

It's the presentaion that was entertaining.

[fish heads]

Greggles was quite amusing in a "watch when drunk" way. Stopped watching since it was taken off itv1 though - the mint and make your play just aren't as entertaining

[Ballbag]

Yikes, for a bunch of people who dislike these quiz show/channels so much there sure seems to be alot of you watching them.

[fish heads]

Well two out of a forum of 5000 and I don't like the shows or channels in general but I do like quizmania

[Ballbag]

I'd argue 2 out of 4 fish heads, when 5000 forum members have added to this, then we can take a re-count.

As far as these shows go the Mint's not to bad, when you start watching it's stangely hypnotic. But Make you Play is rubbish though.

I would rather sit and watch the teletext thing that appears on bbc2 than any of these god forsaken shown. Im convinced that you are meant to answer the question that was asked the night before as the answers never make sense.

Q - "How many letters are there in the alphabet?"
A - "Billy Connolly, with a goat, in a fish tank."

Numberwang made a good parody of it.

I just realised - that sounds like a really dodgy copy of cluedo!

In which case 2 still doesn't count as "a lot of people watching" does it?

[Ballbag]

Or a Michael Barrymore party anecdote.

[Longview01]

Quizmania was cool when it was on ITV, the Mint is a celebraty filled piece of shit.

Azza formerly off UM will be devastated... he was a huge Greggles fan

Well it is 50%, in fact it should have really been 3 out of 4 which is a substantial majority, but that's by the by.

Anyway I was also referring to the countless other threads in here where those sort of shows are consistently berated by a lot of people who seem to know an awful lot about them.

There is an off button on the T.V. you know.

[Longview01]

No there isnt

But theres a power button thats just as good!

[Ballbag]

Well done longvoo..... your're the first to become the holder of Mr Pedantic 2007.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

I knew if I kept going that eventually i would win something.

Id like to thank my parents, my School teachers (without them I would never have learnt to spell) and most inportantly Ballbags for inspiring me to write something prolific!

It may be 50%, but it it is not lots of people is it as you inferred by your comment "sure seems to be alot of you watching them". To me that implies more than 3 people who posted within 30 minutes of the topics life.

Anyway I was also referring to the countless other threads in here where those sort of shows are consistently berated by a lot of people who seem to know an awful lot about them.

In comparison to the 2 people who posted in favour of quizmania here as opposed to the substancially more than 2 who posted against these shows in those "countless other threads" I think the percentage falls way below 50.

I'll take that pedantic award now thanks

There is an off button on the T.V. you know.

As does your computer...

[Ballbag]

Fish heads you are a canny one, I was merely alluding to the growing trend of people seemingly "hating" "disliking" or "disagreeing" with TV show/shows, and yet they'll quite happily sit there and watch them.

Oh, and there's isn't an off button on my computer, there's a power button that's just as good though.

I see your point, but it wasnt a fair comparison at the time as so few posts had been made and thus it was likely that those who like quizmania hadn't posted against that type of tv - I know I hadn't previously.

[Ballbag]

I see your point

*ziiiiiiiiiiip* Sorry, flies undone again.


(Oh, it's a slow day isn't it)

Yes, maybe up to Challenge TV.
