Television Sux

In this age of enlightened people that understand more about the world in which they live than at any other time in history why are we subjected to so many unoriginal ideas and concepts? Why is that we are constantly bombarded by regurgitated material? How many home design shows, how to cook shows, how to fix shit shows , how to blow shit up, how to build shit, how to take a shit shows, how to not to shit shows, how to shit standing up shows (I think you get my point) do we need? Seriously, the Discovery channel conglomerate and HGTV bull shit. What the hell is the Fine Living Channel? The friggn Travel Channel is nothing more than top 10 lists put to video. If I see one more show telling me how to decorate my house, or another show telling me how to boil pasta or another show telling me where I need to go to get a good cup of coffee or where I can find the worlds largest pancake I will hurl. The intent of all these networks, does anyone remember the number of networks in the TV series Max Headroom , was to provide us the audience with content choice. What we have is just reordered list in multiple columns. It may seem like I am picking on the home and lifestyle networks but the same can be said for news, sports and the movie channels as well. Not counting the music stations the average consumer can have upwards of 400 channels to choose from. Yet we just find ourselves settling on content that is sub-par and not very engaging. Come on do you really like American Idol that much?

I think I have got some ideas for new DIY shows. How to be a pimp? How to get started as a meth dealer? How to piss off your coworkers? The top 10 hottest girls/guys at the gym. Where to go to get laid on a Friday night? Yep those sound like real winners to me. Stay tuned!
