I don't know how many of you have checked out the present
type of television the major networks are coming out with
these days.  (no names of shows, lest I offend)

It just seems to me that they are variations on a theme.
More of the pie-in-the-face Lucille Ball humor.  Understand
that I have nothing wrong with Lucille Ball or that type of
humor, but since they removed the really interesting shows
(30-something, Twin Peaks, etc.)  the trend has been toward
making shows of less intellectually captivating genre.

What does this say about the television audience, that we
as television consumers can't handle cerebral humor or 
intricate plotlines.  

I don't know about the rest of you, but it hurts me that
the basis for a show's greatness is the Neilson families, 
and the decisions based on them.

As far as advertising, it seems to me that the majority
of people who watched TP were upper middle class (based 
on TV guides estimates), so what is the problem?
