I never watch American TV any more.

I did start to turn on a football game the other day but Tampa Bay was losing 28-0 at the start of the second quarter... why did they bother to show up?

Pathetic. I didn’t watch long.

I’d much rather find something online, foreign TV shows and the like.

Try out watching some anime. It’s not all for kids.

I would never have noticed this thing except I left FOX on after the football game. Their after-football preview — obviously their big moment to get an audience for the show — is just AMAZINGLY bad. Still shaking my head. NO laughs. Zero. And the complete “Seinfeld” ripoff is insulting.

Pick up “Breaking Bad.” Without having to wathc commercials. It’s actually a decent show that isn’t preachy but it’s engaging.

I’m glad there’s Thursday Night Football (moving MNF to ESPN was the most stupid idea in the history of televised sports, in case anyone wanted my opinion on that), but the Bucs did everything except split their pants.

I think the fact is, Carolina is a powerhouse. One of the talking heads (BTW, they have the WORST in NFL sportscasting on that network, worse even than CBS’ crappy clone of the Fox team) noted that Carolina had started out last season at 0 and 2 and won the division.

I think Lovey Smith is great, but it may be asking a lot, and he even said as much.

"I never watch American TV any more."

American TV has degenerated to a low point in entertainment, if it can be so labeled. I think if you could edit out the laugh tracks they play after every one liner most shows would never draw a smile.

One night out of curiosity my wife and I decided to watch "Hot Cleveland".It was painfully crude and embarrassing with an over the hill Betty White cracking gutter level sex jokes and failing at every attempted laugh line. Later we found out it has been on for years.

Who on earth watches this crap?
