TV's grave new world

Los Angeles Times: "Blame it on the writers strike, but network TV is rushing to embrace cheap and sponsor-friendly unscripted programming that makes gross-out contests look like 'St. Elsewhere.' And leading the way is NBC, the network that for two decades staked its reputation on upscale, high-quality shows such as 'ER' and 'Law & Order.'"

this is exactly what i expected to happen after some time without the writers. it just goes to show that the people who watch television shows on these large networks really don't care about the content. they will watch what ever is put in front of them. the sad part of this is that a majority of the shows that the writers once wrote for are going to get dropped and replaced by the mindless ones that have filled their spaces.
