In a related story: The sky is blue, chickens lay eggs, and Paris Hilton has the brain of a moneran.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Personally, I'd like to see a "hardboiled" detective show. Or at least a show about Private Investigators (Moooooonk looooveeeeer). Even if they gave it that superherovssupervillain feel, I always loved those shows. WHat happened to generic action? And is it just me...

...or do Kid's Shows these days suck? Christ, most of them are about "High-School", or some teeny-bopper romanticism of it. I remember when shows used to be about good guys beating the unholy turd out of bad guys. Mindlessly. Well, they could have brains - Big Guy and Rusteeee! -, but it all boiled down to action. Pfft, says I.

I don't get it this poll implies that so called "reality" TV was a good idea from the get go. Sure whatever, I'm off to watch my MST3k box set.

People who don't know what "harboiled" means make Jesus mad.

A great deal of them are crap, but not for those reasons... Jeez, what channel are you watching?

I'd say about the only thing I could claim to actually enjoy on television is Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Everything else is just all full of suck, lately. It doesn't help that they cram some ****ty nu-metal down your throat whenever they come up with a new show that I might possibly be interested in watching. And instead of hiring decent actors, it's all pretty faces with the same expression for every mood.
