You just have to know where to look

This article claims that TV is becoming dummer. (I know it's mispelled. It's a joke, son).

New trend in TV viewing is to dumb down content

This is new? Anyone watched game shows, soap operas, sitcoms, and wrestling, for Christ's sake, over the last 60 years?

But there are wonderful, challenging, and entertaining things on TV. Take for instance "Deadwood" or "Rome" - both amazing shows. Too bad HBO was too shortsighted and canceled them both. I think the new show "The Tutors" has promise on Showtime. And of course, there's "Battlestar Galactica".


You are watching BSG, aren't you? And don't give me any of that "I don't like scifi" crap. BSG is one of the deepest, most complex, multifacited shows on TV.
