I am saying that people really don't care because of the lack of quality in television anymore. Seriously, I have an idea for a new show. Let's have a show about an average family with 2-4 kids. They live next to either a) their very similar family or b) a very similar family. Now, lets focus the entire show around making the husband look stupid and the wife saving the family from turmoil week after week...
Sound familar? Pretty much every show on TV anymore.
And even worse is the late-night talk shows. Same content on every program. Same ideas of "comedy" on every show.
Hopefully there will be changes in the industry, and for the better for the content.
And, the comment about the government stepping in was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but with them stepping into baseball/mortgage/everything else, instead of letting the market fix itself, I wouldn't be surprised...
