I read it twice and I'm still not sure what the author is on about. It's too offensive? It's not offensive enough? It's not offensive but thinks it is?

We have been talking about this on FG and a lot of us can see what he means.
A lot of us thought maybe it might a good idea to take a year off or just to a special episode.

Huge, gigantic, big

That's why I like the show. It makes me laugh, it's a great way to start a new week, and it's shocking, which also makes it great. Not in the exact words, but in the same token as alot of its commenters - Paul two things:

1. Get a life!!!

2. If you don't like it anymore - don't watch it!! No one's forcing you to! That's what other channels are for - a choice.

Yeah this season wasn't the best they've made, but valid comments have been posted on that page - the credit crunch thing may have eaten up a bit of Explosive TV Budget money? Obviously didn't stop Jeremy from getting something to blow up in the Scirocco Ad film, but hey

I think the next 6 months will be vital, at least when the next season is being filmed, in determining the future of TG. If reckon if it looks like it's not going to exceed previous seasons (eg: S12, which I thought was brilliant IMO) then perhaps it IS time for a break? Give the boys some serious time off, to do their own shows without having TG as another thing to do (I'm sure they don't mind doing it, otherwise they wouldn't be! ) and then come back in a year or so, financial crisis hopefully gone and wow all the critics... and fans

That being said, S14 may just come back and KO anyone who thought it had had its time...
