Well IMDB seems to be in agreement with me:

http://www.imdb.com/?ref_=nv_home

Person of Interest IMDB rating 8.4
Sons Of Anarchy IMDB rating 8.8
The Mentalist IMDB rating 8.2
Justified IMDB rating 8.7
Castle IMDB rating 8.4

I did say it was not aimed at you solely. I was simply playing devils advocate to a comment you posted regarding someone elses taste in TV shows. I simply stated the opposite to what you said. Not sure why you felt the need to get so defensive about it.

As has been mentioned before, content is subjective to the viewer. The Bridge (the best thing on T.V. by far - imho) scores 8.5 on IMDB, but many people will say The Tunnel (7.7 IMDB rating) is a better show.

.

You seem to be confusing 'defensive' with me illustrating my point that some Channel 5 shows are generally highly regarded.

I never said they were not highly regarded.

You seem to be ignoring the point I have been making regarding the fact that some people do not like some of the shows you and others clearly do. It does not make their opinions wrong.

If you want to snipe my posts, that's up to you. It's just a shame you won't reply to my other points.

I detest the American remake of The Killing which somehow manages a 8.1 rating on IMDB. Does that mean I should like it nearly as much as the, imho, far superior original (8.3 rating) or am I not allowed an opinion that differs from IMDB?

Anyway this is boring me now, I welcome your reply though.

I thought that C5 had 3 of the best series on last year, Under the Dome (Stephen King), The Bible and Wentworth Prison (remake of the old Prisoner Cell Block H). Each to their own, I suppose!

CH5 have quite a few decent shows imo person of interest, under the dome (although i watched that on CBS :P ), CSI , the walking dead.

Regards earlier, 5USA+1 is not the worst performing channel, it's actually 5*+1.

The part of the article reads to me that 5*+1 is only being dropped on VM (unless you have other info. that says otherwise).

I quote ' It is replacing 5*+1 on Freesat and Virgin Media '

to be fair to them - they did mention Freesat – 132 but did not highlight it was a replacement

just now channel 132 is 5* +1

its a shame as I would prefer them to add a new channel rather than replacing one - lots of space on freesat - have never looked at any of this lot.

From the website ....

A few slight changes to our channel line ups over the next few weeks beginning with the news that Best Direct (EPG 742) has closed on all platforms as of Saturday 18th January.



Channel 5 + 1 (EPG 152) is also due to close on Monday the 3rd of February and will be replaced with a brand new channel called 5+24 on Tuesday 4th February. This is a new entertainment channel but is not a direct 24 hours replay of previous content and will be available on the same EPG 152.



But fear not! You will still be able to view content previously recorded on 5*+1.



Finally in February, Sky Movies Drama & Romance / HD will be temporary changing their channel name to Sky Valentine and Sky Valentine HD from February 1st until February 17th.

You guys mention shows I completely forgot about, showing even more so, that Channel 5 does have some good shows.

And to hopefully keep Harry happy (which I'm pretty sure it won't, but don't really care if it doesn't), I don't have to like and watch a show to acknowledge that it's good. If the general critical consensus is that a show is good and a channel caries it, I will agree that the channel is carrying a good show. I won't say it's a rubbish channel just because the shows it carries don't appeal to me.

We now refer SA to the channel that shall not be named. There's a new prototype TiVo box in testing.
NatgeowildHD, HistoryHD, DisneyHD, DisneyXDHD are rumoured to launch within the first quarter of 2014.
Some more channels will change packs within the second quarter of 2014.
Now if only there was a thread where you could read about all of this. just teasing you about the thread bit mate but what i just mentioned is basically all the news for now.
