Kathy's So-Called Reality is a television clip show that aired in 2001, hosted by comedian and former Suddenly Susan star Kathy Griffin.
The show was "part monologue, part round-table", featuring Griffin discussing clips from a variety of reality TV shows the week prior with a panel of family and friends. According to Griffin, the reality shows, even the "scandal-plagued" Temptation Island, "amazingly" contributed clips to be mocked. The show premiered on MTV February 4, 2001, and ended on April 1, 2001 after only six episodes; MTV did not renew the show, due to low ratings. USA Today columnist Whitney Matheson wrote that the show "seemed to be struggling for content," and "all the good jokes are taken by the time Kathy's weekly rant sees airtime."
The Sunday Programme was GMTV's political programme. It launched on 16 October 1994 as a replacement for Sunday Best, which was GMTV's original Sunday morning magazine. The programme aired between 7:00 am and 8:00 am, just after The Sunday Review (a 60-minute signed review of the week's news).
It was originally presented by Alastair Stewart, who left in 2001, and Steve Richards took over. From 1995 to 2001, the programme was called Alastair Stewart's Sunday Programme, but this was changed when Alastair left in 2001. In 2008, the programme was quietly axed and replaced with children's programming.
Koffietijd! is een Nederlands livetelevisieprogramma dat van 1994 tot 2001 werd uitgezonden op RTL 4. Het dagelijkse televisiemagazine, uitgezonden tussen 10.00 en 11.00 uur 's ochtends, werd gepresenteerd door het duo Mireille Bekooij en Hans van Willigenburg. Onder het motto hoe drinkt de koffiegast zijn of haar koffie? was bekend en onbekend Nederland te gast in het veelbekeken praatprogramma.
In het seizoen 2000/2001 worden, als gevolg van een verjongingsdrift, zowel de bekende klassieke Koffietijd!-tune als Bekooij en Van Willigenburg in de rol van presentator vervangen door Sybrand Niessen en Judith de Klijn. In navolging op de verjongingsdrift vallen de kijkcijfers erg tegen en wordt er besloten te stoppen met het programma. In 2006, 2007 en 2008 zijn er wel nog eenmalige speciale afleveringen te zien om de kijkers aan te moedigen geld in te zamelen voor het goede doel.
Vanaf 5 april 2010 is Koffietijd als vanouds weer doordeweeks te zien op RTL 4. Ditmaal met in de presentatie Loretta Schrijver, Quinty Tr

A table, a blue light, two men, the night, and words were the only elements with which he wanted to attract the attention of the intelligent and sensitive viewer, tired of artifice and rubbish.
