New Blood for Good TV Drama Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/new-blood-for-good-tv-drama.html Online petition signatures en-us Mon, 6 Apr 2026 12:24 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Lisa-Marie Gaerisch [Signature #25] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5936617?utm_medium=rss There are a million reasons under Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Adventure and more that could make excellent TV shows, a mini-series or a full season show. They are called "Books" and you can find them in any World Library. How about it all you Producers, Directors & Writers? Original material is wonderful but so are the worlds within worlds right there in the Library!

There are only 2 reality shows that are any good, and those are Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International. I watch TV for an escape. I'd like this escape to be available, otherwise, if all there is to watch is tripe on the live airwaves, I'll watch the programs I have on DVDs instead.

The dumbing-down of British TV is a sad indictment against this country's viewing habits that are a national disgrace. Once we were TV path-finders, now we are just TV sheep. How much further do we need to drop our viewing standards. Remember Pink Floyd's sang in 'Nobody Home' on The Wall album?: I've got 13 channels of sh*t on the TV to choose from..." Now we've got more!

I am sick to death of 'reality' shows that, given the production values employed are often anything but - an oxymoron if ever there was one.

I am also rather tired of 'dramas' that are so formulaic that it is sometimes possible to predict the outcome minutes after the opening credits have finished. My current record is about 10 and my aim is to achieve an accurate prediction from the title and trailer alone.

More new writers may help to remedy this.

These shows are totally staged and moronic. Do the networks have a fear of real talent or is the public really that stupid???

Don't viewers want to see something that entertains us? Creates illusion and fantasy? What happened to writing?

As a tax payer and Tv viewer, I am tired of throwing my money in the bin. We get far too many low quality Tv programmes. Even worse, great channels as BBC and Channel Four are following the trends of bad taste Tv from competitors. Enough! We want quality Tv!!!

We need to promote new writers and artists for the future, else TV will go down the drain. And please let's have less of the 'costume' dramas rehashing Dickens or Bronte etc. Surely there is real talen out there that can be tapped and promoted.

This petition shows them another option.
