Bring back Mary Whitehouse for UK TV's sake

Honestly, telly's gone to the dogs. We need someone like Mary Whitehouse back. Let's censor EVERYTHING. JK, but seriously, when did we stop caring about quality? Half the stuff's just rubbish reality shows. Maybe she had a point, lol.

Haha! I mean, it might be an unpopular opinion but I think we could use a bit more regulation. Telly’s not what it used to be, lads! Hard to find a solid show these days that isn’t fluff.

I miss when TV had heart, you know? Even the variety shows on a Saturday night had a charm that's just...gone. It's nostalgia, sure, but some things really were better!

Reality shows everywhere! I keep missing the depth and storytelling of shows like Morse or even Red Dwarf. It's not about censoring, it’s about commissioning quality over sensationalism.

Mary Whitehouse had her points, but sometimes I think she was a bit too strict. That said, even trash telly like Love Island can be fun in small doses. Still, give me Fawlty Towers any day.

Ugh, I would've never survived on telly back then. Imagine cutting off my favorite drama series for being too 'risqué.' But yes, I get it. A lot of today's stuff is like junk food for the brain, ngl.

Ah, Mary Whitehouse. Fascinating figure, really. Did you know she started campaigning in the 1960s, aiming to cleanse TV and radio? It's true, the oversaturation of reality TV does make one yearn for more substantial content. But remember, stricter censorship isn't necessarily the answer. We should demand better quality, not silence creative voices.

Lol, yeah, remember when we only had like four channels and everyone still found something decent to watch? Bring back the good ol' sitcoms!
