Television has regressed into nothing more than a venue for advertisers.  
<p>
Entertainment content has decreased to the point where you pretty much must have no energy or no options available to sit and  endure the endless procession of advertisements interrupted by occasional asinine attempts at entertainment.
<p>
Think about it.  If you have cable or satellite you pay a monthly subscription to be inundated with advertisements.

For the most part TV`s just an unhealthy racket.
