There doesn't seem to be any value in it at all.
 The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama!? No value!? Enough of the blasphemy, Ned.  Just kidding  But seriously, other than those outrageously hilarious cartoons, all I really watch is non-fiction/educational programs on the three stoner channels: National Geographic, The History Channel, and Animal Planet. I think that those have some value. At least I can learn something from them. But otherwise, you're pretty much right. TV is lame. ABE: forgot to respond to this point
A lot of it was news, nature shows and science shows but when I stopped to think about it I realized that in the better science shows on TV there was about 5 minutes of pretty good content. I find them to be a little better than you give them credit for. There is also The Science Channel, much like The History Channel. It seems to have more of the better progams that National Geographic, which is the science programs I assume you're typing about, and I can agree that a lot of those get pretty bad.

OK, I won't. Thanks.
Of course, you've described yourself as a conservative I describe myself as conservative but I don't call myself "A Conservative"TM I took a political compass quiz and I was left of center 
Are you going to respond to the substance of my post or just tell me that you are offended? I suppose I'll respond....
Let the free market regulate itself. That works for me but if people want the government to regulate it then I don't have a problem with that either. I was just wondering this:
quote: I think that your answer is: No. I think we/they should give the poeple what they want.
Actually, I don't disagree that advertizing should match the "rating" of the show it is shown during, and that there should be a clear rating system so people know what "octane" a show is about to be shown. Me neither. Edited by Catholic Scientist, : syntax error

It is an infringement of free speech for the government to regulate the airwaves, as far as I can tell. Why is the Supreme Court allowing it?
If you don't like it, turn it off. That's a piss-poor attitude, IMHO, and doesn't help anything.
The people seem to want violence, sex, and American Idol.
Well, I want two of those three  I have no problems with the "good stuff" being on TV. But some people do and don't want it broadcast. I can understand broadcasts being regulated. Hell, you have to get a license to operate a HAM radio. I'll can get my fix of the "good stuff" from other means if a lot of people don't like it being broadcast.
