What has this world come too...?

Isn't it sad that "I survived a Japanese Game show" and "Tila Tequila" is considered television these days. I grew up with rugrats and wild thornberries and now I see my younger siblings watching crap like Zoey 101 or the naked brothers band. Does no one realize that Zoey is a pregnant teen and the naked brothers need to get a life and loose the ego? Luckily my mother no longer allows such garbage on the tv in her house, but I'm still troubled that the only quality shows on for kids these days are on PBS. And grown adults watching trash like I love New York or Flavor Flavs retarded show. If you are going to watch a show, why not watch one you can learn from, or one that has some substance. Please, is there anyone else that feels this way? Cause I sure as hell hope I'm not alone...

    You can always count on PBS to provide quality content in their programs. Although you may not prefer all the programs on PBS, there is something for everyone. There are so many filtering levels for programs that air on PBS, that you can be sure the content is based on fact, not opinion (although opinions are given, but not presented as fact) and it is suitable for audiences of most ages. I work at a PBS affiliate and I can't tell you how many times I talk to people who say they watch PBS because all the other networks show mostly trash.

    Your parents felt the same about Barney - there are websites called purpledinosaurdiediedie.

    And their parents felt the same.

    And their parent.

    And so on.
