I don't know any of those names. If I watch TV it is only HGTV and DIY, I love to see them fix up houses, etc. I listen to a good movie if there is one on while I type on computer. I watch TV only when I can't sleep. During the day we only listen to talk radio, I can't tune most of it out.

Once in a while there will be a rerun of an old show from the 1950's, like Twilight Zone, and it amazes me that TV has come down so low. I mean in the 50's they had Acting, production values, just like a movie. Now it seems like it is a bunch of idiots with a camera pointed at them.

Thank goodness here in VT all we get is PBS. And, we watch better shows here than we do in the winter when we are at a place that has 50+ channels. Need to Know, PBS Newshour, Bill Moyers, Independent Lens.....

I did the same thing, I watched that show on TLC, something about "Honey, Boo, Boo." I am still traumatized. That are so many great old TV shows and movies; I just wonder who watches this stuff?

Regarding "Jersey Shore," I have to tell myself that they are faking it, they aren't really that dumb...after all they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Still, it's a shame to see people finding success by becoming the lowest common denominator.

For the life of me I can not understand why people like to watch all that trash. We are very careful what we watch and my kids are careful what they let our grand kids watch. I really hate the shows that have smart mouth kids that think it is cute to talk back to adults and their parents.

yeah, I was watching the news last night and there was a commercial from AT&T about how you could tape four programs at the same time. I have a hard enough time finding ONE that I want to see and we have a lot of channels. Personal preference is for shows that are written not edited and no reality shows (I do make an exception for HGTV - at least some of the stuff). If Snookie is as dumb as she seems (unless she is just playing it and it is being edited to enhance that image) she shouldn't be allowed to reproduce at least not with a TV camera around.
