Current TV


i dont really choose to watch any TV anymore, but if i do find myself having a gander across a wide array of american "shitcoms", "reality" TV, or burnt out so called "celebrity" competitions that suffocate our box set, ill always find faith in dropping upon Google fuelled Current TV.

Current Tv hosts a wide array o short films, underground music videos, "Pods" which are like short documentaries, and then just silly alternative ideas thatve been put onto film for amusement. Either way, theres always something interestng, or just a break-from-the-norm away from the hypnotism thats on any conventional channel.

the channel itself consists of categories, or countdowns during the day, such as "top ten heroes or villians" which last night looked at heroes like an African born child rebel, turned rapper in London, villians like the UK's largest import dealer of cocaine who managed to slip prison, Englands toughest bloke who ran for an MP campaign, or Football hooligans turned preachers,Glasgows knife crime youth, and then just cool shit like Harlems street bike gangs, who tear up NY with their on the edge moves on a cycle, or Paris' Electro street dance movement, all of which are filmed by viewers, for viewers with no bullshit, script or anything fony...


what helps is the witty, down-to-earth, sometimes unpredictable hosts for the channel, who actually care about the content put on the screen, and the worldwide producers/directors of the films who come from many religious backgrounds, countries, politics and walks of life.

there is the odd serious doc, whereby they look at world issues, and travel to places lke Iran, Tibet, Mexico, Brazil and look at serious issues that affect peoples living.



its always guna be personal taste, and every man to his own, but its definately a breathe of fresh air if your channel skipping, if not, ill post a blog on Takeshi's Castle.....always worth a mention haha
