the history channels are so patronizing... pandering... condescending... stupid... aliens, prophesy, religious dogma, zombies, pawn stars, swamp people, and pickers?... the nba finals are sloppy and boring once again... golden state played a mediocre game one and won going away in overtime... golden state played a very poor game two and lost in overtime by giving the ball away a few times in the final minutes after coming back 13-4 in the final few minutes of regulation... and the cleveland coach says they are up against a very good defensive team?... golden state was standing around like spectators on the floor all game... the only chance cleveland has is if golden state goes to sleep on the court the way they did in the second game and plays the worst games they've played all season three more times out of the next five games... the refs do seem to be allowing them to play street ball and they did not do what they've done the past few years, which was give lebron special treatment, but once again, it looks scripted to prevent a sweep and make for excitement that had to be fabricated - or golden state is not nearly as good as they are touted to be... boring to watch such poor execution in a championship final... meanwhile, the science channel seems to have a different definition of the word science than i do... they should rename the science channel the freak show channel... the discovery channel is about the same... that's why tv is on in the background much more than as an actual focus of attention...
i do enjoy some of the shows listed on the right, mostly as escapism, but ultimately, the bulk of tv is over-acted low quality confusion and pandering to human fears, delusions, and egocentric stupidity... what is sadder than the fare shown on the tube is the way so many people seem to soak it up as actual knowledge or meaningful experiences or even, reality...
