This stuff that I am going to tell you is the truth. I have made mental notes of this and I will also tell you about an article in Reader's Digest.
1.Whoever thought of the idea of killing about fifty years of hard work and good ratings.
2.Carson Daly; This man is one of several personalities who has tried to kill E!'s reputation by attempting to do a TRL like show.
3.Amanda Bynes;I loved her on All That, but now, I hear she is trying to kill her own carrer by turning into a freaking valley girl.
4.That one host of Dog Eat Dog. The title is crappy and so is the show.
5.NBC's executives today are trying to get us to be less caring and more boring.
6.ABC Family;Although they air 80's classics, they love to annoy us with yet more, intollerable teen concerts from the following artists:N-Sync, BSB,etc. I am not dissing them, if that is what you are thinking.
7.The host of Survivor for trying to make a once good show into an emotional wreck.
8.Whoever the heck came up with the idea of chick shows! Americans deserve better shows like The Hogan Family.
9.Wrestling only has one place today, which on TNN, thanks to certain people who wanted WCW and NWO to mess up, just so the stations can air stuff for teens who do not enjoy decent comedies that are funny without constant blubbering, prom dates, swearing,etc.
10.Teen Nick, once again with these concerts for people who have the endurance to be annoying. Hey, it is OK to be madly in love, but we do not care!

Before I conclude, I read an article in Reader's Digest about some other things that have killed Prime Time and television all day and all night. There is this one guy, who is from Lake Forest,IL(About 50 miles North of my house) who doing all he can to make television like the old days. The place is called the Cuss Control Academy. This man says that to sware with words that are only a vowel away from what you want to shout out. My point is that, not just modern day teen girls have killed television, but the concept of everyday vulgarity has killed television even more. I do not really enjoy cursing, but I only do it when no one is by me. I think that might answer some questions of why T.V. really sucks today. Hopefully, this era of these re-created valley girls and boy bands will wear off soon.jasonbateman.html

:( here's my Top-10 list:
#10: The Internet
#9: working-class women who want
shows appealing just to them!
#8: the exploson of satellite TV
#7: the lack of older people on TV
#6: networks that don't want to allow
older people a chance to shine
#5: the explosion of video games
#4: POLITICAL-CORRECTNESS!!!
#3: the lack of patience from networks
never allowing a show to find it's
audience
#2: the disgusting theory that all shows
have to feature a cute kid
#1: having every comedy revolve around
young single people or teenagers

Fan of old shows
