There's a reason I don't watch network TV: It's Garbage

The last time I watched network TV was about 1-2 months ago at my grandma's. She has the bunny ear antenna and went to sleep so I watched some dumb sitcom.

It was about 9PM and this show had some of the crudest sex jokes I ever heard on TV. Not funny at all, terrible writing and just seeking a shock factor. I caught ONE decent joke in the show but it had to be a mistake/ad-lib since there was no laugh track.

I'm in my 20s and don't mind well written dirty jokes for adults. But bad ones at 9PM when kids are still watching make my head spin.

It was the 1st time I watched network TV in years and I had my mouth gaping the whole time while watching this train-wreck. It's scary how far we've fallen since the classy well written shows of the 50s and 60s.

I guess that means we should bring Neil Simon and Woody Allen out of retirement.

Just look at the TV show Two and a Half Men. The entire series seems to consist of how many different ways the actors can say penis and vagina, and how many different references to the sex act they can cram in to each episode. It isn’t one bit funny, and for the life of me I can’t see why the show would have any viewers over the age of 16.
