A few comments on tv in general...
-I get turned off by all the arrogance, the self importance, the self congratulating, the backslapping by tv anchors and news types. It's such an incredible turn off.
Anyone could be successful if they had a tv show. You're beamed into 150 or 200 million homes, ratings for the news are 8 million people a night. You're only getting a 4% share of the pie. The other guy has 5%, and 3 1/2%. The failure rate of shows is very high, ratings are down because of the internet, cable, etc...you're not that important anymore.
If you had a restaurant that had steadily been losing customers for decades to other restaurants (i.e. cable, satellite, internet), you wouldn't run around with all this self importance and self congratulation. It's laughable.
-Some of it is ok...I watch a little bill maher, simpsons. Alot of people on tv though are sad to watch. Think about the personal lives of people on tv.
-Multiple marriages
-Serious addictions
-Way, way out there
-How many represent quality family time, going to the kids baseball games, strong marriages?
All the E! True Hollywood stories, Behind the Music types, Vh1 celebrities. Even a guy like Larry King (married 7 times). These are a different kind of people than most.
