I always laugh when people say that, I could host the paint drying
thing!



I suppose that astronomy, meteorology and biology are the three sciences
in which amateur observers can still have a worthwhile part to play, so
it's not unreasonable for the BBC to have "seasonwatch live"
programmes for all of them. If it gets more people interested in making
observations then it can only be a good thing.
