I don't know whether it's just me or whether late night TV has gotten worse. I just can't stand it anymore. I used to like to watch some of the late night talk shows and interviews for a while before going to bed. I have no tolerance for them anymore. I think they've sunk to the lowest common denominator, but perhaps not. Perhaps my bad mood is coloring my view. Does anyone else think that late night TV has deteriorated beyond the point of no return?

I agree. For me, I think it's a combination of TV getting worse while my tastes are growing up. It's frustrating though when you want to watch TV to take your mind off of things and there's nothing on that's even tolerable. There isn't much on during prime time either. If you want to see something besides murder solving shows and/or legal shows that try the murderers, then you're SHOL.

Hi Kara,
I think you're right. It's probably both factors. I feel as if I need to watch a bit of TV before going to bed in order to clear my mind of worries. Lately,I've taken to watching about 15 minutes of my favorite videos before going to bed. I've seen them so many times that I know most of the lines from memory, but I prefer them to the junk on TV. Do you have cable channels? I don't. I rarely watch prime time TV unless I'm sick. A few months ago, I watched a few minutes of one of those "reality shows." I couldn't believe how awful it was. I do believe that I watch more TV when I'm more depressed.

The reality show success is so confusing to me as well. I just don't get the appeal. I don't have cable either so the choices are extremely limited. I'll probably have basic cable once I move so that should help a little. I've been thinking that the best thing to do would be to buy a DVD player and rent some DVDs or borrow them from the library. I have a list a mile long of movies I want to see so better to spend that time watching something good. Hopefully you won't get sick of your favorite videos if you continue to watch them.
