I heard a radio ad last week for Discovery Channel’s “Naked & Afraid”. They introduce a man & woman, both naked, and send them off into some forbidding wilderness to survive without tools or clothing.

In a couple of weeks ( July 30 ) "Sharknado 2" will be out so at least that's something.

Vladimir Zworkin, developer of electronic television for RCA : “ I cry when I see what’s been done to my child, and I won’t let my children watch it,”. Newton Minnow, former FCC chairman, referred to TV programming as a “ vast wasteland.” We turned off our 200+ channels service when they removed the last station worth watching. 98 percent garbage programming nowadays. Find something better to do with your life.

Really don’t understand why you didn’t cancel 15 or 20 years ago, but ok.

There is also a ‘naked’ real estate show and ‘naked’ survival program.
With the blurred areas, the programs aren’t really worth watching. They are just more of the same reality crap — sans clothes.

The networks and their perverts have been dying to get in to porn for decades. This will be their intro, but make no mistake it’s the billions in porn they’re after.

As much as I hate government intervention, I would like to see the cable and satellite industry opened up so I could buy jut the seven stations I watch without having to carry all the crap bundled into a monthly package.
It is with bundling that the government has already intervened to keep rotten programs and networks alive. They should be made to survive on their own.
I think something like this could be done equitably with something like:
1-12 stations for $8.00 each
12-18 = $6.00 ea
18- 24= $5.00 ea
...and so on with specific shows, events or movies available on pay per view.

The networks and their perverts have been dying to get in to porn for decades. They HAVE been in porn for decades. Who do you think owns the cable/satellite porn channels? Already, a CBS sitcom script has a girl saying "My boyfriend squirted on my boobs", besides all the visuals.

Programming propaganda called “news” and distractions for deadbeats and deviants. My dad and my friend’s dad both referred to it as the “idiot box” in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. I’ve watched very little (and the small amount I did watch was mostly sports) my entire life. Too busy working, doing things, having fun and reading (especially on the internet the last 25 years).

Everyone is naked. Most just hide it better...
Off switch is on the side of the TV.
