Mayhem has turned into gayhem.

In Norway, news are fully given over to “your Royalty and celebrities”, a subset of a population of less than 5 million of which maybe 500 is higher on the evolutionary scale than a scolopender.

Thank goodness for DVR's! I record anything I want to watch beforehand and FF through the commercials.

Once in a while, late at night if I can't sleep, I'll turn on the TV in the family room and start to watch something. I say start because once the commercials start, I lose interest. There's so many commercial breaks and then so many ads in each break (I counted 12 ads once), sometimes I forget what I was watching and get up and wander off!

Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off,“ he said. “I can assure that what you will observe is a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons.”

Granted, but if you're selective about it (and watch, for instance, "The Walking Dead"), you'll see really well acted blood and thunder, mayhem, and violence with quality scripts and good production values!

And for that matter, what's wrong with cartoons?

The FCC Chairman’s actual name is “Newton Minow”. He is still alive, 50 years after leaving the FCC; he is 87 presently. He was chairman of the Sidley & Austin law firm, where Moochelle Wookie Obama once was a law associate. He is most famous for calling broadcast television “a vast wasteland”—and that was at a time when the typical viewer could only receive three channels.
