This morning I turn on the TV and start flipping through channels....there's Tyra Banks, Mauri, Jerry Springer, some alien movie on TBS, and a bunch of infomercials.....Is there nothing stimulating on anymore?

no. TV is a reflection on lives we will either never have or never want.

It could be the government trying to either A) keep the ignorant dumb, B) get more people to work during the day, or C) they're saving all their TV-making money for evening entertainment.
I'm a stay-at-home mom and the TV doesn't come on until my son gets home from school and homework is finished. I know - what a slave-driver!
Movies if I have to sit down in the morning or the park is what I do for entertainment, good luck with finding decent programming!

It's true. The TV channels all seem to think we're ALL mindless morons, only interested in scandal, spending & mindless entertainment.
I got a TiVo, and it's the best thing in the world. I spend about an hour a week looking for documentaries and interesting shows, record them, and watch those when there is only junk on TV when I feel like sitting around and watching it. My TV time is actually down (I don't watch stuff waiting for something else to come on), and I only watch what I like. It really was worth it.

Well that's the thing... there is more to the world than your TV. You should have asked... what is wrong with TV??? Go visit a museum, a library, walk around the city or walk around town for the day... then you will see what the worls is really about. Don't view the world through your TV.

There are some interesting channels out there. Those are in the minority. Unfortunately, those shows exist because people watch them. When you get bored with the same crap on the tv, pick up a book in the genre you like.

Nope, nothing stimulating on TV. That's why it's called the idiot box!
Try reading a good book instead. :-)

But don't it make you feel good, knowing that your life is so much better than the crap you see on tv.
