Scripted shows are not the panacaea of intellectualism you guys seem to be indicating. Take a look at shows like OC and North Shore. Which is worse really?
I like the nonfiction shows. Generally I'm switching between History, Discovery, TLC, Science Channel, Discovery Times, History International, and National Geographic. Problem is I think they're starting to run out of programming because lately it seems like I've seen most of what they're showing. If its not this stuff then I love the reality TV.
