Sometime I can see why the world hates the US with it's stupid mind numbing TV shows like Jerry Springer, so called pro wrestling, idiotic soap operas, talk shows that cater to the illiterate.

If you could eliminate every bit of evidence of these sadly embarrassing shows would you?

I'm sorry; have you seen Japanese tv?

Whose tv do you think is good? European? Australian? It's all nonsense.

Luckily, we have enough choices here that we can watch something more worthwhile.

Sadly its garbage, but it's on there because it's also what people want to see - "drama, sex, violence, etc."

Watching fat trailer trash beat on each other is not quality TV and the ones wanting it is even more disturbing.

The rest of the world hates America for many more reasons than tv programming. However, you must realize that the television business does a lot of research to find out what Americans want to see and the shows you mentions are among them. In many locations PBS is also available but Americans would rather watch a couple of fat ugly women rip their tops off and beat on each other. Wrestling has been a fake ever since I can remember, everybody knows it, but they love to watch...who knows why. Even the news stations amount to nothing more than a televised version of the National Enquirer. You failed to mention the advertisements of erectile dysfunction, menstruation, and medications most people have no use for and never will.
There are is another choice, PBS, and if that fails there is always the "off" button.

Wow, maybe you just need to turn the channel. You obviously have never watched TV programs in other countries.

I totally don't understand the connection you attempt to make between other countries not liking US and trashy US TV shows.
