Other than Sunday Night Football I can’t think of a single program I’ve watched on NBC in many years. And I nearly dumped that when Keith Olbermann was anchoring their halftime show.

I was thinking along the same lines. Except that I don't watch Sunday Night Football. By the time Sunday night rolls around, I have had enough football.

The last NBC program that I watched was the 2010 Winter Olympics. Before that, it was when NBC broadcasted NASCAR races. I can't remember the last time I watched a NBC prime time entertainment show.

The network shows are universally awful. How many “tough” lady lawyers and cops can we stand? Or perverse shows with nonstop sexual content?

When are we going to be able to pick and choose which channels we want on cable? I watch sports and HGTV, and my husband watches history documentaries and movies. The rest is useless.

And it really bothers me when the networks (especially Fox!) insert inappropriate material in the ads for their sleazy shows and air them during sports programming. There are many youngsters who watch sports, and they don’t need to be exposed to this gutter humor.

Advertisers pay attention to total viewership, where NBC does not have a top-40 show other than football....

Other than football, I won't watch their garbage either. Promoting jerks like Alex Baldwin and Keith Olbermann is the reason why.
