I think a lot more people have evolved out of mindless entertainment ... the Dick Van Dyke, I Love Lucy, Alf etc ... type of programming (analyze THAT word!) and has become more cerebral
We like the NCIS type of show because most have a plot that oftimes can't be determined right away (we like the mental gymnastics of trying to figure it out), and action crap (most have no story but a lot of fighting, crashing, blowing up .. etc.)
My wife is a FR widow and, in spite of themselves ... my talk and language has a lot of my more dense acquaintances starting to say ... hmmmmm

Only "TV" I watch is via a USB tuner connected to my notebook and an outdoor (old VHF-UHF) antenna. Lots of local broadcast stations for free, and the tuner includes DVR software, all in HD if broadcast that way.
Recorded content can be played back on your TV thru ROKU or other appliance with free PLEX software, easy to set up.

My son lets me sponge off his Netflix account. Just started Mad Men. Only drawback is the urge to smoke and drink constantly...

We cut cable 3 years ago because we had to cut our budget and it was either cable or something like food/gas/medicine so the choice was kind of obvious. After a few months on Netflix, we didn’t miss TV anymore and haven’t looked back.
Also found out that if you simply plug the cable line into your TV, you get antenna channels clear as day without having to pay for a cable package. Just a tip for people to try if you are only paying for an Internet signal through your cable company. Most of the time, after you plug it in you need to go into your TV menu and have it do a channel scan to pick up the channels, otherwise you just get snow.
