I think people are sick of it. The shows are boring and uninspiring, the news is all Obozo all the time, and he makes us miserable.
Same old stories and the media lets the WH determine everything. Just watch, Obozo will ruin sports too, he already insinuates his nasty face into it.
They all suck.
There’s very little broadcast TV I’ll watch. I might watch reruns of Bonanza, Little House On The Prairie, Andy Griffith Show, The Waltons, The Carol Burnett Show, and a few others I could think of if I was in the mood. But you can see by my short list... there’s not much left for me today. Thus, I put the MarineBrat curse upon broadcast TV. Looks like it’s working. :)
Television viewing traditionally climbs during bad economic times because more people are home, unemployed, with nothing to do than watch tv. What this tells me is that the networks are even worse off than even they realize.
CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox together had the smallest number of prime-time viewers last week in two decades of record-keeping, the Nielsen Co. said. Given the dominance of the big broadcasters before then, you'd probably have to go back to the early days of television to find such a collective shrug.
Not mentioned in the article but even more discouraging to the Nitwork Bigwigs, a majority of people immediately hit mute button or flip channels when commercials air. Tee-Vee is, after all, nothing more than an electronic billboard.
You are right. The bastards are finished. They may take some time to finally die given their vast size and enormous financial resources, but they are terminally ill.
...and here I thought it was because digital TV reception was so crappy.
GRRRRREAT news! Thanks for the ping/post.
