Gogglebox fans "stop watching" as it's "just not funny anymore"
One fan posted on Reddit recently, asking: "Is Gogglebox Just Not Funny Anymore?"
Posting in r/Gogglebox they continued: "I used to love Gogglebox, but lately, I just find it so boring.
"And it’s not even about who’s on it—it’s what they’re being made to watch.
"It feels like every week, they’re reacting to the same kind of dull shows or whatever random “serious” TV is on, and it just doesn’t hit the same.
"I saw someone on socials say something similar, and they mentioned that it’s because UK TV in general has gotten worse and more boring.
"I think they might be right—there’s just not much exciting or interesting stuff to react to anymore.
"Anyone else feel the same? Or is it just me?"
Another Reddit user commented: "Funny you’ve posted this as we’ve kinda stopped watching.
"No particular reason, just not as bothered as watching as we used to so this makes sense as to why."
This person added: "It was literally my fav show and now i see it's got new eps and couldn't care less.
"I think you're on to something, the content is too directed, it doesn't feel the same at all."
A third fan said: "I was going to post this the other day! Yep, definitely not as good as it once was. I don't watch it anymore."
