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?
