I like TV. TV is good. I watch TV to learn, not to be entertained. And Frooty-O's. I like those too.
Here's an interesting point, returning to my argument. Um, you know that episode of Gilligan's Island with the giant spider? Okay, so, um, as a viewer, first of all I am asked to overlook the questionable science and accept that such a creature might exist. Then I am asked to look beyond the costume -- a small man kneeling in a canvas sack -- and accept that what I am looking at is, in fact, a spider. Right, okay, then finally I am asked to overlook the apathetic performances of the actors and accept that they are indeed so afraid that they are unable to outrun a spider that moves about as fast as a small man crawling in a canvas sack. Well, I say no. I refuse to accept these things. Right, 'cause, what I see are seven actors trapped in a TV show that should have been cancelled long ago, trapped there by me because I insist on watching despite the poor quality. And so, like... in effect, I am the spider, really, I am the spider.
