Which in your opinion is the most ugliest channel and which programs on it makes you say that?

[Togo30]

I'm doing a college project and would like informative in depth answers please as this project is going towards my final media studies exams.

[daffy654]

You mean (TV) programmes, 'programs' refers to computer software.

[B00]

I don't understand what you mean by "ugly". TV channels that have ugly people on them??

[EDDIE51]

I have a problem relating the word 'ugly' to a TV station. I cannot see how a TV station can be described as 'Ugly' . Also you are using a double superlative , it can either be ' Ugliest' or ' Most Ugly '
Possibly you mean 'Most puerile' TV station which would make sense where 'Most ugliest' does not.

[Togo30]

I meant which programs characters/actors make you cringe in embarrassment especially when you see other shows in Japan, U.s.a etc.. Where all the actors and actresses are youthful, beautiful and fit compared to our old hagard and dishevelled own?

[B00]

"Where all the actors and actresses are youthful, beautiful and fit compared to our old hagard and dishevelled own? "

Really? Have you got examples of these?

[puternut]

Rather an important 1st question Togo30.

Asking people who you don't know and vice versa. And on a topic that will shape your own future too?

[bibblebub]

...all the actors and actresses are youthful, beautiful and fit...

you missed out fake, plastic and airheads

[Togo30]

{Really? Have you got examples of these?}

Yes!

Actors/Actresses in a 'Soap Opera' are at least supposed to look like people in real life. Not glamour models. You need to compare like with like.

[Togo30]

You think that Kiera Knightley can rival the cast of the desperate housewives or Lucy Liu?

No offence boo but 99% of all men i've spoke to see her as bony and unnatractive and would prefer the more prettier, rowdy and meaty Lindsay

[B00]

They might have been poor examples to you Toga, but possibly not to others.

Truth be told, if I could be bothered I could Google thousands of attractive UK actors and actresses against thousands of plain US ones, as indeed you could yourself.
You're just being blinkered in your frankly wrong view in order to prove your point.

[Togo30]

{Actors/Actresses in a 'Soap Opera' are at least supposed to look like people in real life. Not glamour models.}

I disagree eddie, we want to see what the other side look like, how the other side live and the potential we all aspire to be like one day and not be reminded of our ageing, poorness and ailments.

It's a form of escapism and fantasy which has deep roots grounded in reality (if you've ever been to Tokyo or Hollywood)

[Tilly2]

Togo30, what is the actual title of your project?

[bibblebub]

...most ugliest... indicates that it's not about the use of English in the media

[Togo30]

It's untitled at the moment but skims the surface of the psychology of good youthful looks vs actors/actresses who've been around the block with the latter having more experience and credentials and seeing who are most likely to be cast in this day and age so it's youthful looks and what the young public want vs age and experience if that makes any sense?

I have to run for college now, ill try and catch up again between classes. Bye!

[Tilly2]

I'll have a think about it while you're gone.

[EDDIE51]

Togo30 , sorry but as has been said you have a very narrow view which you are seeking unsuccessfully to prove. In the UK shows such as Eastenders and Coronation Street are hugely popular and supposedly represent 'Real life'
