Author Topic: Why does Television suck ass these days?  (Read 2266 times)

If you think tv sucks, you just don't know what to watch.

I don't know why you are even trying to give nickelodeon a chance when its been dead for years.
Cartoon network still has some good shows on it, adventure time and regular show are pretty much at the forefront of those.

I normally like to have comedy central on to watch episodes of Always Sunny and Workaholics, among other things and I tend to leave adult swim on at night while I sleep.

You should also try and get into tv shows with an actual plot. My favorites are Game of Thrones, Dr. Who, previously Lost (if you didn't watch it, watch it, I think they started putting eps up on G4), breaking bad is great, walking dead isn't bad, etc. There is a plethora of great shows on TV you just have to pay attention and not mindlessly watch a few select channels.

MAD ruined the franchise and Almost Naked Animals can suck my richard.

Science, Discovery, and History are alright.
History is perhaps the stufftiest thing I can think of on TV.
There's no History actually on it.
Instead it's constant programs where you watch hillbillies and handicaps scream and shout at each other while acting like the stupid, and often unnecesarilly dangerous jobs that they do are in any way useful to the world.

I would have to agree with Littledude.
Personally, I don't know any one my age who watches Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon or similar cartoon channels. Some watch things like Family Guy, South Park and the Simpsons, but not much more.
I don't know any one in real life who actually seems to want to watch all the old childrens shows from Cartoon Network. I've only ever heard of it online.

Anyway, if you stepped away from those channels you might find other stuff more entertaining.
Drama's, Sports, News, Documentaries, Soap's, and even reality shows can be interesting.
I'd recommend a number of the different shows that HBO have produced. A lot of the ones I watch are older, and likely not aired so much in America anymore, since they're only just becoming available in the UK, via HBO's deal with Sky, to make Sky Atlantic. But they're still remarkably good.

Game of Thrones, The Borgias, Dexter, Six Feet Under and Big Love are just a few that I've watched recently in the past year that I've enjoyed.
If you look further for more shows you'll find more things you enjoy.

the only thing on my tv it seems like is a ton of cooking/gardening shows, a ton of really boring shows, and news
that's about it

I do, but most of those suck too.
if you just said the olympics and channels like fx and tnt suck then you are obviously like max gay

The only shows I watch at night are Kenan&Kel (I was 3 or so when I was watching re-runs) and Hey Arnold. However, I usually stream on Netflix these days.

I like FX and TNT is alright, I had said most of them sucked.

history channel sucks lol

Don't you mean the Aliens Channel?

Anyways yeah I hardly ever watch TV aside from Transformers (Prime and G1).


I like FX and TNT is alright, I had said most of them sucked.
tbs is pretty good, and occasionally you get some good things on spike, although most the time its just gangland. there are also those channels that show older tv shows like lonesome dove and top gun that have nice stuff on them

plenty of good tv channels, only bad ones are things like E! thats shows stuff like "keeping up with the kardashians"
