Are there any good shows left for the rest of us that have yet to discover? I hope so, I haven't been finding much on the larger networks and I feel like every time I turn on my TV, I become dumber for watching some new Reality TV show. Can we start calling them something else? Because lets be honest here for a second, those shows are scripted and are far from reality, they just use regular cameras and cast the DUMBEST HUMANS TO POSSIBLY ROAM THE EARTH, therefore calling it "Reality" ???...also, what has happened to our TV culture as a whole. Do you see yourself as more intelligent than you were 10 years ago? Or do you find yourself stuck, or what I see myself becoming....dumber.
I feel like I need to start only watching the following programs to keep my IQ up: Jeopardy, News Hour (PBS/ WETA), any historical documentary that holds significance to how our society is being shaped as a whole or repeating itself, Road Trip Nation (PBS), and anything on CURRENT TV (the network). Everything else is pure fluff...and it's not that I don't like that (because we all want to mentally escape our work lives/ days), but lets be honest, ALL the programs on TV are fluff. Nothing is original anymore, it's just a remixed version of something we saw in the 70's, 80's, or even the 90's. It's been done before. I am fearful that our most intelligent, witty and creative people have been axed by major networks because they're not drinking the Koolaid like the rest of them and for that simple fact, I will have to ban my TV. This doesn't include FILMS...only TV shows.
I don't even have cable and guess who benefits from that...me, because my pockets are fatter with cash than those who waste $100's on those crappy shows that you could watch online for free anyways, just delayed by 1 day or something. I don't know about you, but I want to enjoy my cash by GOING SOMEWHERE...not just my couch.
