I happen to think that if you are of the opinion that TV programming sucks and it will not get better and that there are too many commercials, etc., then you ought to just quit watching TV.
I can see how you might feel that way, Alphadog, but while I have my complaints about broadcast programming, or scheduling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_programming, I have to say that over the years there have been many shows that I enjoyed. Making it possible to find and to have a show that you enjoy to continue, is what we're talking about here.
The problem is not that there are no "worthwhile" shows, but as I and others have mentioned, the issues of how those shows are scheduled and presented creates a distinctively dysfunctional viewing environment, IMHO.
As far as judging the quality of the shows themselves, as cbelt3 put it, “there is no disputing about tastes.” He must be watching “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” a lot.(tu)
