We Should Expect Better
STOP!!! If we have to endure one more show that insults our intelligence we should all boycott TV. Each "new" season they might give us 5-7 episodes of a program worth watching, and then we are back to repeats on every channel, or the so-called "reality" TV programming that is in no way reality. And the cable and satellite companies are making buckets of money for "over 200 channels" to watch. They don't tell you that there is nothing worth watching on most of them.
I don't know about you, but I am tired of being insulted with shows about sister wives, searching for sister wives, bachelors or bachelorettes, strangers living in a house together, teams "competing" to survive, and so many others I can't even begin to count them all. We wonder why people have become obsessed with doing the ridiculous? They are all trying to find their 15 minutes of fame in reality TV. If they truly knew how these shows were produced, they might think twice about striving for such an "honor". They are not worth watching, which leaves few worthwhile options for viewers
I know more and more people who are streaming what they want to watch. Not only does it give them the choice of watching when they want to, but also what they want to see. With Netflix, Amazon and others producing their own original programming, we now have a better selection. Many of these original shows are far better than what the networks are producing.
Some of the independent networks deserve credit for producing original 6-8 episode mini series. Most that I have had an opportunity to see are pretty good, and have attracted some well-known actresses and actors. Nice to have some options available worth watching.
Cable and dish companies should take notice. Streaming television will eventually become more popular, and then they will be trying to give away their service, which will be a win for the consumer. Maybe then you can pick your channels "ala carte" and pay a much smaller monthly fee.
Of course, there could be a plus from all the second-rate programming. In the end we might all turn the TV off and go outside to do something worthwhile.
