There’s almost nothing left on any channel worth watching now, part of a devolutionary spiral going on for years:
Borderline IQ average programing (80-70) 20 years ago, then Borderlines tuned out and it devolved to a Moron audience (69-50) about 10 years ago, and now it’s hovering within the Imbecile range (49-29). In another few months, just before the end of the Mayan Calendar, I think, Imbeciles will get bored and it will piddle out down into the 20-0 Black Hole IQ of the Idiot, from which there is no return or escape. Along the way, various forms of cretins and pinheads have come and gone, leaving their indelible mark on the medium.
If this insipid medium lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”
Couldn’t agree more. All the channels I used to watch (TLC, A&E, Discovery, History, Natgeo, etc) now mostly are mindless “reality” shows. I’ve had enough of Hillbilly Fisherman, Storage Wars, Pickers, Pawn Stars, Croc Hunters, Doomsday Preppers, State Troopers, Jousting. No wonder TV viewership is declining - the dumbing down of America is upon us. Like the Springsteen song, 57 Channels and nothing on. Seriously considering cancelling cable at our house.
