One piece of evidence in support of what u say is myself. After half a century of watching TV in my house, I find have zero interest in any of the 500 odd channels. I know that because I have not turned it on in two months. I can get everything I need on my several computers. I haven’t watched one minute of alphabet TV in 30 years.
\==================================================================
I’m where you are. I get weary of sitcoms which have been dumbed down to where some characters spout one liners and the audience roars with laughter for a minute, with reaction to some dumb one liner or gesture.
I get weary of sitcoms pushing homosexuality or other bizarre behaviors. I get weary of those same sitcoms with smart ass kids behaving badly.
Add it all up, and I watch very little TV anymore. I enjoy watching channels which have old classic sitcoms or dramas or westerns or sci fi such as Twilight Zone. Otherwise could not care less about the current prime time offerings of NBC, ABC, and CBS.
..........I’ve watched nearly all the 700 Gunsmokes and lately I’ve been watching a few “Honeymooner”...........
Jackie Gleason and Art Carney just tear me up!
