TV over Christmas and January

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 don't think the 'couldn't careless' attitude about tv programing is limited to the Christmas/January period, I think it's become year round. Look the rubbish they're currently providing...Bachelor, Bachelorette, Naked Attraction, Blind Date, Married at First Sight, Back with the Ex, The Block, My kitchen rules, Master Chef, Bondi Ink, Shark Tank, something about ninjas, omg the list of crap goes on. And I don't know whether it's attended by people sincerely trying to win the prize or just searching for their 15 mins of fame. But for me, I fall back on my movie collection or record the movies played late a night.
