I usually view TV using a HD antenna. I became really tired of paying huge sums of money to cable and satellite providers who forced me to take the programming they thought that I deserved, along with 30 shopping only channels and as many music channels. I considered that most of their staffs voted on what people should watch with a plurality of ignorance.
I watch the main networks, NBC, CBS, CW and ABC (out of the Pittsburgh, PA and Youngstown, Ohio areas) as a rule. All I can say is thank goodness for remotes. It makes it easy to turn them off. How many times a day do we have to watch Judge Judy, followed by Judge Tom,Dick, and Harry, and then Quick Justice followed by even quicker justice. Then there is "let's get a divorce" court. Then at any time during the day we are treated to SPAM: Paid Programs. Duh? Have they not learned from the INTERNET that people hate spam? Again, thank goodness for remotes. They are simply lazy and cheap fill in programs that are basically geared to people who have the IQ of about 3 steps below that of a well trained Airedale.
How long do we have to watch "survivor?" How long do we have to put up with "American Idol?" It would seem that America has enough idols to worry about. Then there is large doses of the Biggest Loser.....they have named that program correctly. These people may struggle to overcome what is largely their own fault, and I am glad that they have come their senses...but tons of emotion and weigh ins and the proverbial "where did I go wrong?" Everyone knows that America is full of obese people, especially children, and so the right messages have not been followed in the first place. If a person has a disability that causes problems with weight that is one thing and they deserve our compassion and help....but for the others--think with your mind and not your stomach and let us watch something much better on TV than your stupidity.
Thanks goodness that we are able to view 4 Public Television HD stations in our area. Those people (WNEO) have it all together and we do not have to put up with the trash of the main networks. If the Survivors and Losers and Idols and crazy chefs are what main street Americans want, this country is is serious trouble. It is already plagued by day and night time soap operas under the guise of good television.
