I didn't like my last post since it involves stuff I don't usually talk about and would not like to talk about. Mainly because I cannot find a way to explain myself without either looking like a green fundamentalist or an Intolerant, uneducated right winged idiot. So, I was trying to think about my next subject. I now have one and I better write it down before I forget. That's why I'm typing this around four in the morning.
It is less serious than the last post but never the less important. To me, personally, it has been a serious issue that is starting to bug the living hell out of me as well as other people like me. Too long, most of us have been frustrated after coming home after a hard day only to put up with more crap from the media. Of course, what I'm talking about is the very thing all of us say (one way or another). "500 or so channels and still nothing on!". We have said this so often that it has become a real modern day riddle. How can there be nothing on when you have over thousands of shows at your disposal?
This post not only answers just that, but it also has some suggestions to solve this hopefully in the near future. I did mention that I would have some posts that would only talk about either Good stuff or Awful issues. It might be hard for some of you who liked seeing the balance of contrasts like my earlier posts, but some issues need to have their own post to be thoroughly explained.
In this post, I will be listing the issues of modern day programing as well as listing some suggestions.
WHY THERE'S NOTHING ON TV.
1. Companies Are Forcing The Same Things In All Channels.
There are very good reasons why television was made to have more than one channel. Would you want to have your child watch an channel with a chaotic schedule where "Peter Rabbit And Friends" is followed by "The Hardcore Dominatrix Hour"? Of course Not! Even though that was an extreme and exaggerated example, this is the same situation that the frustrated viewers are putting up with. Companies try to put so much stuff into one channel that they're missing the point about the purpose of channel varieties. As a result of companies imitating the same ideas from other companies, the channels are now showing the same thing.
One thing I've been noticing is this wave of reality shows over flooding every time slot of every channel. From back stabbing dirty laundry to contestants being under pressured and being humiliated. Even the cooking channel has unnecessary reality shows which is obviously an indication of four components.
1. Companies commonly think when a show works, they continue with the fade persistently until it's worn out (which explains the explosion of reality shows after the "Survivor" Craze). 2. People are getting bored and are now wanting something extreme. Which companies are supplying more shock valued shows as a result. 3. Other people loose interest in a channel because of the poor tasting shock valued shows. So Companies still use and experiment the same fade in different ways as the answer to this (from example 1).
