It sounds like it will rival Reality TV or Quest or some of the Discovery channels. Bit too much lifestyle so it's a disappointment.
On the US channel this week, programmes include: World's Dumbest Performers Most Shocking: Escapes From Death Top 20 Funniest: How Did That Happen?!? Dumb-ass DareDevils |

TruTV is like CBS Reality, but maybe even more downmarket. Lots of "shocking moments caught on camera" shows.

Come on now, there is a lot to watch on TV.
What is a typical nights viewing via Netflix for you? I don't have typical night viewing, some nights i don't turn the TV on at all. but some of the things I am watching are Fringe, Numb3rs, person of Interest, Covert Affairs, Warehouse 13. I know some people may have seen them, I think Numb3rs was on one of the channels a while back, but i have never seen tham. My main problem with Netflix is that it is a bit naff on documentaries, a bit better if you go to the U.S site, by the way those that I have listed is on the UK site. the reason why I kept Lovefilm was because of the documentaries, but now i got rid of that I am going to have a look CEX and see what they have got if they are cheap enough. |

You may consider Lizard lick towing to be awful, everyone is entitled to their own! However if I agreed with your opinion then we would both be wrong...
Love it or hate it, it's very a very popular programme! Anyone need this post translating?

It's old news - cable.co.uk was among sources that reported an August launch waaaay back on the 14th May.
In fact the cable.co.uk article states "early August", which fits in with Chrisy's theory. |
