Remember the glory days of syndication? When cartoon shows and old sitcom reruns abounded? Well, look at the situation of TV now... corrupted by countless annoying "Judge fill in the blank" shows.
On the air currently
And that doesn't count 5 others that were mercifully cancelled. Seems every year one flops and 2 more are in it's stead.
Not only that, we have to contend with talk shows. I don't mean Oprah or Ellen. I mean crap like Jerry Springer, Dr. Keith Ablow, Greg Berret, and Maury Povich. I know Jerry has a sleaze cult following, but Maury is beating a dead horse into the ground with his 2 different subjects. "I slept with everyone under the sun, which one of my multiple partners is my baby's daddy?" and "HEY! Look! Freakishly fat kids, and the trailer trash mothers who over feed them!" Keith Ablow and Greg Berret are both trying to knock off Dr. Phil... and Dr. Phil ripoffs flopped 2 years ago already.
It's getting to a depressing amount of garbage TV, and without cable there is no other alternative but to sit in dead silence. Someone's gotta take a stand on this. Anyone else sick of this?
