"Not saying that everything should be swept under the rug, but it shows what's happened to TV in a quarter century."
Even my 14 year old groans about TMI in TV commercials today... E.D., bladder control, femminine hygiene, herpes medication, etc. All quite explicit. Just another reason I don't watch much anymore.
I did watch Mike Douglas after school. I didn't much care for the music, but it was kind of like hanging with the adults. :)
Yeah, Mike was an after school show for me, too. And good to hear that some of the kids aren't totally desensitized to commercial excess. I've literally had my jaw drop at some of those "colon cleansing" products being advertised.
