TV programming has changed over the years.
Oops! I just realized that some stupid comments could send this to The Attic. Let's try for some self-control.
"Silence is golden."
"If you don't have anything nice to say..."
"Loose lips sink ships."

Yes, unfortunately. I can't think of the last time I watched broadcast TV.

How true. Primetime network TV is dominated by inane quiz show, survivor shows, bachelor(ette) shows and wrestling. Common to all, is that these shows require no paid actors, no intelligent writing, almost no production overhead. Minimum content for viewers; maximum profit for networks.

Obviously it is not really "reality TV."

Reality is an illusion.

We moved into a condo two years ago with free cable tv. We have yet to watch a show other than football games. We stream everything.

I read somewhere yesterday where some scientists believe our galaxy is merely a hologram.

But we'll never know for sure. 🤥

Are these scientists saying that they (and their theory!) are imaginary? Or unreal? If so, why should we trust their imaginary, unreal opinion? 😱

I believe that the proper term for what is going on with TV is "devolving"! (Maybe even "devilution"? 👹)
