I'm not sure it's "intelligence" or "experience" (lack of).  I've run into people that did not know they were being fed manure.  When we got cable the channels we thought we wanted to watch are the worse.     My daughter that grew up on an island in SE Alaska and now lives in semi remote SE British Columbia detests the Alaska Bush Morons and goes on a rant every time it's mentioned.  Life Below Zero isn't so bad.

It looks like we will be going back to the antenna and watching PBS and C-SPAN soon.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Keta: Do you like C-Span? Seams like the general consensuses on TV is, It's a lot of nonsense. Personally I find this site much more interesting, but not my whole life.

We watch the hearings and votes, better than most of the other BS.  The "news" is mostly the same BS over and over.

My dad watches alot of cspan and keeps me in the loop on the political/economic going ons. 

I guess not all tv is bad.  I kinda like some of the stuff on the Smithsonian channel, SOME of the outdoor fishing and hunting programs, and NOVA on PBS.

Entertainment? I think not. Hooks with no substance. It seems to be getting worse. I have loved sharks since I was a very young child.  Most of these shows have little substance.  The repetition of one dubious fact throughout the program. The networks obviously pander to a demographic of creatures of questionable intelligence
my 2cents

You about nailed it, there!

I will watch River Monsters because the host, Jeremy Wade, is fishing and catching some awesome species....despite the "scripted drama" mingled in with the action.
