Whats the point of Gogglebox

What is honestly the point of watching someone watching television on the television? It is mad! Can someone please tell me why this show is so popular?

its so people can react to the shows themself then see if their opinion is popular or unpopular so it can provide a sense of a community to certain programmes also some people are nosey so they like to see what other peoples interior looks like rather than their reactions
What's wrong with it?
It's a great show.

I used to think like you till I caught an episode when i was round at someone's house on the ale. it's just funny, and it provides a type of social commentary

Yes, but my views are not arrogant. You make them sound as though they are. However, I am yet to watch a full episode, who knows, maybe I'll too enjoy it.
Because their reactions and comments are very funny. It’s the same reason that reaction videos are also very popular on YouTube.

If you read that into what I said then that's your problem not mine
I don’t really watch it much, but I like Steph and Dom. I really used to watch it for the reverend kate bottles, who was actually my vicar for a while
Bottley
Because Jenny and lee, that’s why :judge:
Reviving this thread. Last Friday it was apparently the most watched at its time slot. This week I would be certain that one of the programmes featured will be Naked Attraction, as it is on tonight.

It is weird, but perhaps the popularity is some of the people watching, who have become as popular as some of the tv they are watching.
I can catch up on the weeks tv without actually watching the whole shows :biggrin:
