I miss when TV was actually good

If I see a commercial for Jersey Shore one more time I will scream. since when is acting like a douche and sleeping around with as many people as possible considered entertainment. Even Saturday morning cartoons have been taken over by Hana Montana and other garbage. I miss watching scripted shows! when survivor came on the air I didn't know that ALL we would have available to watch is reality shows.. I can watch reality looking out my window and believe me it's more entertaining. And isn't TV supposed to help you escape reality? I really don't want to turn on my TV and look at someone as ugly as Flavor Flav trying to find love...newsflash Flav THEY LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOUR RICH!!! there is no women in the world who would kiss that without thinking there is an amazing payday at the end of all this.

Granted some of the old shows we watched back in the day were corny. I can't even watch Full House without gagging. but we did have great shows...Cosby Show, Different World, Family Matters, Fresh Prince,Boy Meets World, Doug, Thundercats, Rugrats, Snorks, Gummy Bears, 3rd Rock from the sun the list can go on and on.

I will leave you with an homage to one of my fave shows back in the day. (I've always wanted to be a doctor and I actually got a grant that would pay for my first four years of college at a big university) I would watch this show and escape. Its interesting because it was way ahead of its time the main character would blog at the end of every show. It was one of my faves and maybe its was yours. So TV execs please understand that there are consumers out here that would enjoy quality programming! I mean who wants to pay for cable when what they are showing on screen you can watch for free if you go to your local Frat house? That's just my thought on the matter.
