Let's Meet Our Pointless Celebrities

So, now that I'm done with talking about crime, let's have a look at what else is on. Not much, it would see. I'm pretty behind with watching television, to be honest with you. I'd say something like 'I need to get back into the habit', but it's television, so no, no I don't.

Reading, that's what I need to get back into. There used to be a time when I would read a novel in a day or two. Now I struggle through them over the course of months. I only seem to get any reading done when my laptop is out of action, but that's just the way of things.

But still, there must be some television that's worth talking about, isn't there? Ah yes, my favourite quiz show.

POINTLESS.

I love me some Pointless, I think it's the best quiz show to have ever quiz-showed. In fact I was inspired to start this Televisual because (those of you who read my other blog) I went to see Pointless being filmed back in February of this year, and it was most awesome, as Coates and Macina can attest to.

I love the idea of playing against the odds of 100 people's knowledge and that you've never met any of them. It's a bizarre take on general knowledge, but it's presented in such a pleasent fashion that it's hard to stop watching. Armstron and Osman are a good team, almost as good as Armstrong and Miller.

There isn't much that can really be said about it, it's a quiz show after all, it's pretty much the same for every episode, it's got some very interesting questions and some rather stupid competitors, but every time someone gets a Pointless answer, you just wanna punch the air in victory.

I should really go on it some time.

Also, I was particularly fond of Armstrong saying 'let's meet our Pointless Celebrities' for the recent celebrity edition (you were so close, Lembit), since pretty much all celebrity is pointless. But that's just me and my thinking. Readers of OK Magazine clearly disagree with me.
