How Bravo went from highbrow docs to �Dallas'

Sounds kind of like how History Television offers hardly any history shows!

Discovery is going that way. Thank God for AMC

Don't forget to shit on the learning channel too, while we're at it. Sad sad commentary that they can make more money with the garbage they're peddling than they could with actual interesting and educational programs.

Viewers are too lazy. They need the tv version of a Big Mac and supersized meal followed by a long nap - also called Jerseylicious.

You can tell when a civilization is going to the shits when the quality of what amuses and feeds them starts to look like MacD and JerseyShore.

Takes some effort, but you can find practically anything you want on Youtube. Perhaps not specific Shows featured on specialty channels, but at least Channels/Vids with similar content.

In academic circles, this is known as the homogenizing effect of capitalism. Big money moves in, takes over and changes the market to appeal to the lowest common denominator because thats where the biggest returns are to be had.

I download most of what I watch. And as Beaver pointed out, YouTube is good for documentaries.

In fairness, that was Sandorki.
