I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw RTE were showing Home Alone last evening, bit out of season don't you think ?

What next, showing mass live from the top of Croagh Patrick or the likes !?
 
What would you prefer- more of the typical crap being churned out with wannabe hopefuls in pop idol, american idol or for those who don't have enough going on in their own lives to watch what is going one in some wasters lives in the big brother house or 'I used to be a celebrity get me outta here'..........no thanks......leave that to the tabloid tv channels
 
Oh don't worry I'm sure that will come too (but probably in 15 years time when it's cheap to buy) !. No I most certainly don't want that but I also don't want to pay a tv licence so some person can sit in RTE and stick on an 18 year old video that's out of season (it is supposedly summer after all), and twaddle to boot - yes there must still be a person or two left in RTE, they can't all be on holidays !

Have they no imagination in RTE ?, I don't get paid for my suggestions so don't ask me.

It's the same when almost every week they show Christmas and Halloween episodes of children's programmes out of season, no wonder children are getting more confused.

In fairness to the OP we get PLENTY of the above from RTE also.
 
I watched it with someone in hospital and it raised a few smiles (nostalgia probably) so no complaints here. Surprised at how well it was made to be honest and i don't think kids will be writing their santa lists on the back of it showing in july.

My rant was the fact that it's cheap, ill-considered garbage that RTE shove down our throats again and again and again.

When I saw this thread I thought it was about the fact that RTE have repeated this film several times in this slot - a fact one of my children commented on on Saturday. In fact they seem to throw up the same couple of films every few months. Maybe they got a job lot?
 
love the "bond season", god forbid they should ever start any other season but bond season, every year. it must be great not to have to do any work for your paycheck, just slop it out every year the same, not a bother.

Don't be so cynical. There's lots of work they've to do. What day will it be on? What time? should the news come on in the middle of an exciting bit? Should they show it in chronological order or just mess with our minds by jumping from Connery to Moore to Dalton, back to Connery then Brosnan, then maybe Lazenby. The permutations are endless....
 
People do have a choice with RTÉ. I decided against it and ditched the TV. I now watch DVDs instead, on apparatus that does not require a licence.

What do you watch your dvds on ? PC ?
 
A dvd player and projector.
I only watch films and box sets so it probably wouldn't suit many people.

My little girl was enthralled by the 'Blizzard' film on RTE 1 yesterday, which was all about Santa/elves/raindeer etc.

Yes it's 23rd August and guess what, Home Alone 2 is on !! Just to get us all in the mood for Christmas.

I'm convinced RTE do this type of programming in the summer in order for us to have a sigh of relief when Pat Kenny comes back on the screens !!!
 
Yet again, my little girl loved it. Perhaps you're just not the target audience for this kind of material....
