Did you know that over Xmas and in January, the TV networks stop measuring how many people watch their shows? So you might have noticed that the type of programs that are on change from the usual ones during this time, until they start measuring ratings again in February. During this holiday time programing, what did you think of the quality of TV content? Did you even care what was showing as you were on holiday? Or did you use this time to relax in front of the 'box' and flick between channels? Perhaps it was convenient for you to keep your kids entertained? Maybe you have Pay TV and didn't even watch the 'mainstream' channels? Did you find it 'Christmassy' enough or do you think the networks just don't bother with that these days?

I know that the ratings stop and the better programms stop, and the stations really dont care what they feed back to us, and some of them have been shocking. I think school holiday time and xmas time is when they really should make an effort to put on something worthwhile, but they dont seem to worry or care ... this last xmas we did not bother with tv of a night, but joined the local library and got books out to read instead. some great books at the libraries now.. they are well ahead of days when you could read very little.
