Circa a decade or so ago there was a common complaint I heard in several circles: "there's nothing to watch on television". I haven't heard that in so long I don't even recall the last time I heard it. I've been too busy enjoying the variety of programming available on television now.
I think it began back with "Survivor". I remember when that reality show came on it drew people to the television set to watch each week. Even if it has slipped a little in popularity with me, there are other shows which have cropped up which have drawn huge crowds.
Coincidentally I even remember when watching politics on television was considered "boring". As we've seen during the last two election campaigns and election night politics even gets viewers. The past lack of interest and flipping through the channels praying something else was on worth watching migrated to a point to having one of the largest audiences ever.
One of the most fortunate things for me is that the television programming and staging now is so good the complaint has gone to the level the shows are just not on long enough. I could easily watch an two episode of the "The Apprentice" every week. I could watch "Scandal" every night like I used to watch the soap operas after school every day back in the late 70's early 80's. Anyone remember those days will probably recall we had some really good programming back then.
Whatever has brought on the current state of all this great programming kudos goes out to you a hundred fold. Even though I have DISH Network I stay back in my room a lot watching my set with just the basic prime time channels. Good programming on channels you don't even have to pay for to watch in this day and age - PRICELESS!
