However, at the end of it, you realise it's still Coronation Street and is therefore a waste of time.

SO WHAT, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE OF IT.

I don't think he was claiming to be better than you because he doesn't watch coronation street, he was claiming to... dislike coronation street. Only you have decided its some sort of who is the best contest :confused:

I'm just joking - I get fed up of people who think they're so great because they don't put the TV on but they are willing to sit behind a computer screen and think they are so much better.
Somebody starts a thread about a TV programme and then somebody has to post 'I don't watch TV' - SO WHAT, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME BECAUSE OF IT.

There is a difference between good TV and inane, mindless, soulless, in no way intellectually stimulating drivel.

I don't think he was having a dig at TV watchers in general.

Hehe likewise, I would like to say that I also listen to the football but sadly I can't as their commentary team are awful, so I just watch instead

ITV 2 is even worse! Just closer/reveal magazine on TV.

What's anything got to do with being greater and better than you? :confused:

I just said I don't watch ITV, Xfactor, Brits got talent, etc.

I watch 8+ hours of TV some days, Family Guy, Simpsons, BBC News, but just not ITV.

Bearing in mind this thread was in GD when I made my post, I get fed up of people that incorrectly interpret posts on an internet forum and then take it so seriously and actually get angry. I did NOT say "I don't watch TV" and neither did anybody else.

Yes and I'm better than everybody else to.
Instead I sit here typing on an internet forum which makes me so much better than everybody else because I don't watch TV (especially ITV).

I watch plenty of TV, I just choose to watch the good stuff. Are you a Corrie actor/extra or something? I can't possibly imagine why anyone would get so defensive.

Don't worry, some people just want to engage in any discussion as though it's part of the Four Yorkshiremen I guess.

It isn't usual for you to misread somebody.
He said he didn't watch ITV.

grr, it makes my blood boil that people don't watch ITV.

Point stands. He said nothing about it making him a 'better person'.

I think it'd take a lot more than HD quality to make me watch coronation street.
