I'm not a big fan of the majority of the shows on now.
I deal with those subjects on a daily basis and need a breat.
CSI is so off the wall it drives me crazy so I don't watch.
I prefer House, Bones, Extreme Makerover Home Edition, Dancing with the Stars, Idol, ect. You get my drift.
I can't watch CSI either. Too science fiction.
But that's also why I can't watch House. I've got too many family members who work in health care. Any doctor who behaved like House would have been fired season 1, episode 1.
I find it odd that so many young people consider themselves pacifists and against war/crime, but then they watch it all the time on television and play war/shooter games endlessly.

What's on TV and in the movies and played on CD's is what sells. If people didn't watch or listen to it, the producers would not make it. Right now criminology is the fad, it's what interests people. If something bothers me I simply do not watch it or listen to it. There are options...saying there is "nothing" on TV for families is just not true, but parents have to be selective. And if, in fact, you are at a point where you literally cannot find a single program that is suitable...turn off the TV and play a board game or put in a DVD.
Seriously, I am freaked out by some of those TV shows. They are so negative and hardly enjoyable, sometimes very creepy. I'm wondering who came up with that and who would want to watch that creepy stuff.
It is making people of America paranoid too, imo.

I dislike them all and refuse to watch........I was apalled when I saw the ad for Dexter : *Americas favorite serial killer* WTH????
I am really disappointed in TV, the programes are trash, if its not killing, its sex. More and more I see *parental guidence* suggested, for about every show thats on in the evening. What the heck is a family to do? Lets all sit around together and watch murders, rapes, killings and sex! Woohoo!
No wonder I watch the History channel and Nat Geo and Discovery and channels like that. What a sad trashy society we live in. What do the popular shows say about our society?
True, today's young adult culture is totally mixed up.

Couldn't agree more.
