From ASBOs to even worse ideas for a TV show.

So Channel 4 have managed to yet again astound me with their lack of talent when choosing what would be a good idea for a TV show. The latest shockingly poor written TV show is Misfits, it follows a group of kids with ASBOs who get struck by lightning whilst doing community service and all get super powers. The twist is that instead of using their powers for good they instead try to deal with life as normal but with the addition of superhuman powers.

It is yet another classic Channel 4 young adults program which no doubt be dubbed 'Superman for the Skins generation'. In reality, 'The Skins Generation' is a group of fuckwits who are in no way similar to the TV characters and have no real idea about life or anything that the TV show is based around.

This new show tries to relate to every different group of people out there.
The list is as follows:

• Kelly - The chav who'll no doubt start off as a bit of an antagonist but turn out to be a bit of a sweetheart and no doubt got her ASBO just trying to help her family.
• Curtis - The complimentary black character who is good at sports and no doubt throws away the chance to win something to do the right thing.
• Alish - The party girl who will at some point OD or end up with an STI just so that we can all learn an important life lesson - Don't be a slag.
• Simon - The shy one who is obviously a sweet heart but probably has a bit of a dark edge to him because that's just how Channel 4 keep the idiots who enjoy this shite interested.
• Nathan - The bad ass, you know the type, he probably smokes weed and drops pills and doesn't want to better himself. No doubt there's a life lesson somewhere and a couple of flashbacks to make sure we know that he didn't always act like this.

The tagline for the show is 'Asbos to Superheroes'. That's right, they made a slightly dated reference to ASBO fever which truck the nation about two years ago. This show will no doubt have all of the morons quoting from it and in wild excitement to see what happens when Alish has to confront Nathan about the Superhero STI Kryptmidia.

Hey look, it's the black one, the party one, the shy one, the mouthy one and the bad ass one. God only knows what will be the conclusion of this hour long preview of visual shit.

No doubt all of the actors in this will kill their acting careers and preferably themselves after the show is finished and maybe appear in a very low rate production of Grease or spend the next year going to different shit student clubs round the country to make guest appearances and realise they've lost their souls for the chance of fame which they never really got.

I'm going to make a point of not watching this show because I don't want any chance that somehow Channel 4 have made some of brain wave machine that takes control of the rational part of my teenage brain and turns it into that soggy brown mush you get when you don't eat your wheetabix quick enough.

All in all, if you watch this and enjoy it you should hang yourself. Not because I say so but because you clearly have absolutely no understanding of what good acting or writing is.

Please for the love of God and all decent TV shows out there, don't watch this, it is going to be shit and by watching it you are only encouraging Channel 4 to keep endlessly creating these shit programs that are plaguing our TV screens.
