Anyone else think TV is crappier than ever?

[Stevius]

Well... I dont have much problems with TV.

Since I dont watch it at all.... for more than 4 years!!!

 

[Sparky 6]

I don't watch either and haven't for about 6 years. I do research shows and DL and watch the ones I find worth my while. That's kinda fun because often I can watch a good show from start to finish. Did that recently with Twin Peaks which streams on CBS or something. I missed that back in the day- because of it's title I thought it was some outdoorsy show like Northern Exposure.

New television is actually supposed to be the best it's ever been but all the good shows are on premium channels like HBO.

It's funny that we have more channels than ever and there still isn't shit on TV most of the time!

On the plus side, since there's so much more programing, it makes finding something to watch easier than ever too.

I'd say that there's mostly nothing on TV at certain times of day, and others you can find a bunch of watchable shit on TV.

But most of the time when I get high, I can watch anything, no matter how stupid or boring it is, and be easily entertained.

Prime example: Home Shopping Network.

The power!

TV is crappier. Forget the programming, the commercials take the cake, we need a break from the breaks...

Every 5 mins all the way around the clock's dial.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!



Peace

hey no need for name-calling Nicola! And that was another show I was going to add to my sucky list, Pawn Stars. And pretty much all the shows you listed. Pickers, and the cartoon ones are ok but give me old time cartoons like Bugs Bunny any day! yes I don't watch much TV either, just an hour or two at night, usually something I recorded earlier.

 

[RudolfTheRed]

More shows like this one and TV would kick ass.

TV blows...except for Golf. And maybe some Trailer Park Boys. But all this csi, emergency room, reality bullshit is nauseating.

 

[Red Fang]

and as someone else touched on, when there is something good on it's all on at once! I don't have a DVR so I can't watch or record multiple things at once so it is really annoying!
I pretty much only watch space travel sci-fi (never could get into Stargate though), nature and science/astronomy shows, and an occasional food show. I take walks at night, I worry the neighbors will report me to the cops but it is better than walking during the day when they all gape at you. Never walked a woods at night, what did you mean by that?

 

[Red Fang]

I am not agreeing with what most like, but that's fine as we all have different tastes. but we agree on the lowest common denominator thing and that reality tv is bullshit (although I admit I used to like Survivor and can still get into it once in a while). so that's a start!

Hey jackass, you started the thread, not me. Dont want opinions? Dont start a thread.

Go watch a disney movie.

What I don't want is anal assholes such as yourself who only make trouble. Say something useful or nothing at all. I did not force you here, so don't give me your attitude. thanks

Television is not an entertainment device. It is a hypnotic device, which puts "viewers" quite literally in a trance. It is used to control people's minds, and the weaker the mind, the easier to control. That's why most of the garbage is made to appeal to the lowest strata of society. They are the easiest to "control", ie, get to buy things, get to believe things. Prime time TV in the US? Murder, killings, explosions.....that seems to be what people want to see.
There's a serial killer on every show. Blood, guts, and sex is what people want to see, but sex is bad, so give 'em more blood and guts.

 

[Feyd]

let's see... I read a lot, but when I do find something on t.v. I like it becomes a very narrow interest... case in point: the office.

I'm gonna go make some pasta and catch up on the most recent episodes (i rarely remember to watch new episodes on nights they come on)

I miss Captain Kangaroo...................

 

[SoCaliSmoker]

These are the only channels I like to spend my time watching:

History Channel
Science Channel
Discovery Channel
National Geographic Channel
Weather Channel
Food Network
Military Channel (they have some cool stuff on sometimes)
USA Channel (only for Law and Order)
ESPN
and my favorite of the favs - NFL Network

So really if you look above, they all pretty much target Nature, Law and Order, Mankind, or Football. I'm really not interested in Kim Kardashians stupid sisters (although she is hot) what kind of celebrity news is going on (it's NOT NEWS), what kind of propoganda their feeding us through CNN and other networks, what the housewives of Orange County or any other State are going through, how a guy and girl can dance, or any of these other stupid shows. I really can't believe that people follow this crap.

GOSSIP GIRLS???? I've never seen a damn episode but let me guess? Is it a bunch of girls gossiping? - LMAO!! Come on people, this can't be entertainment. Red Carpet? Let me watch a bunch of actors through plastic surgery dress up to look better than the next person? LOL. I'm just not interested.

Sorry to any of you that might have been offended by the remarks, to each his own. There are people that think "football" is a stupid sport and I happen to WORSHIP it so I can understand. The street goes both ways!

and me? I might not have even turned my set off once in 4 years.

with well over 100 channels & the ability to flip through the cable guide 10 stations at a time I often see there's nothin' worth watching so I've built a huge DVD collection, yeah I've seen them all but I'm always in the mood for a classic.......

 

[Buffalo Brown]

I'll admit I didn't read half of your post. However, I definitely agree that 90% of television... no wait.... 95%!!!! of television is a load of crap.

Ill go further and say about 99%. The left over one percent happens to be anomalies, like a piece of actual truth, however more than likely a vague half truth.

There are how many channels again ? And how many of those channels are owned by the same company ?

id rather watch my plants grow. Oh wait, I do that already.
