Yup ... they're TOLD to like them ... and they follow like sheep. The media is not our ally. (alli?) They create millions of viewers who forget how to think. I agree .... turn the channel, but I would love to see some character in broadcasting. There is so little. Good shows, with thoughtful content and clever stories get cancelled because they can't keep the "Jerry Springer" mentality happy. I know I'm ranting, but I stick to my statement. MOST of TV shows are not worth my time, and they are a pollutant to the minds of everyone who gets sucked into the sensationalism.
Thank God Diki isn't able to join this post.
But luckily for you, I am
. For the second time in maybe 10 years, I actually agree with DNJ (well, except for the MOB Wives part). For someone who doesn't like Diki's sometimes judgemental approach to things, you do a pretty good job of imitating it. We just can't seem to wrap our heads around the fact that all this stuff is SUBJECTIVE and what's right for you doesn't need to represent the bar. Why on earth should I accept that what YOU like and think the public should ONLY have access to is the way things should be. That's the same mentality that's going to force democracy down the throats of every nation in the world, whether they want it or not. The same mentality that has so-called 'missionaries' spreading the word through bad music blasted through 18" sub-woofers (how do YOU like people driving through YOUR neighborhood with boomboxes blasting on a peaceful Sunday morning?).
The world is rife with people who think they know what's better for you than YOU do. So Dave, if you look in the mirror one day and see Diki staring back at you, don't be too shocked

Dig what I'm sayin'?
