All it is is sex, drugs, and violence. The so-called reality shows are total garbage, the comedies are immoral and turning our children into flippant, potty-mouthed lunatics, and the cop shows are gruesome and give ideas to wanna-be serial killers. Even the sports are hardly worth watching any more.l

When it comes to TV garbage begets garbage. What we see now is a reflection of what we watched before and made successful. There is a lot of talk about the liberals in Hollywood. The actors may be mostly liberal but the producers are very conservative, at least fiscally. They want to put their money into the kind of shows they have seen work in the past.

When I was little we had 4 networks to watch. ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS there was little choice but very high quality. In the late 70's and into the 80's we got more choices and all seemed pretty good. Then in the 90's the networks just lowered their standards for programing. Now they will pretty much throw anything on the air. Lots of choices but poor quality. :-(

No Original thinking. So the only option the networks have is to write the same plots with over the top action, drugs, sex and violence. This is supposed to make up for the unoriginal writing.

i don't know why, i also would like to know. even the childrens cartoons is violent & with no respect,,and very vulgar mouths, you change channels to watch the comedians like larry the cable man,, which i think is dry humor. i admit theres not much to watch. it's all focused toward the younger generation.

I agree, it's sad.
We have such a hard time finding something that a family can sit down and watch together. We usually end up renting a movie.

Now you know why it is referred to as the vast wasteland. And that was 40 years ago.

Because people will watch anything if it means avoiding real life.
