Televison is not bad it is the programming that is terrible. The broadcasters send us what we demand. We have not demanded good programs so we don't get them.

Television is bad for these reasons:
- The methods of determining who is watching what are flawed. Too often they record what the children want to watch.
- The shows also have to please sponsors, network executives, budget Accountants, and critics to get on.
- Mindless sitcoms cost a lot less to produce. Science Fiction costs more than any other kind of show,. So guess what we are inundated with.
- Network execs and critics are elitists, who don't like shows that are fun. They want sophistication that nobody enjoys. But nobody is going to watch "War and Peace."
- Too many TV "artists" want to do what they want to do, rather than what we want to watch. They think we should value their artistic skills, not the entertainment value.
- Many people will not watch shows with sexual innuendo or immorality, or shows that push liberal politics.
An example of network executive bias: A network executive was on vacation in Europe. A new show came on while he was gone. He saw it when he came back and told the vice president to cancel it. The VP said "You don't want to do that." He demanded to know why not. "It's number 1." It was The Dukes of Hazzard.

∙ 11y agoIn general, it's not good to do "too much" of anything. Watching a lot of TV can be bad for you in several ways -- first, people generally sit down when they watch TV, so that means they are not moving, not exercising, and that is not good for your health. Second, people are not interacting with other people while they watch TV, so it is not good for your social skills -- your ability to converse with other people intelligently and comfortably. Also, some people watch TV when they really have other things to do, like homework or practicing a sport or musical instrument. A little bit of TV can be interesting and enjoyable, but when it becomes an excuse for not living your life, then it is a waste of your time and health.
