Wrestling was lowbrow and public broadcasting was “good”. Cable and satellite broadcasts have broad higher-quality wrestling and an increasingly benign PBS. The sloganeering during pledge week about “programming you can't get anyplace else” has been indicted by the Discovery Channel, the Weather Channel, the History Channel, the Wings of the Luftwaffe Channel, the Food Channel, the English Channel (A body of water that separates the French from the descendants of Henry VIII) and the dedicated broadcast arms of every major sport, excluding fencing and pig slapping.
Despite the endless venues for entertainment and information, there is nothing on. The LOGO Channel was all the rage in sophisticated and hope of niche television. It had the audacity to provide 24/7 programming aimed at the gay and lesbian market. The Birkenstock Organic Cooking Hour, was replaced by Reno 911. Then in cruel twist of fate, Buffy the Vampire Slayer forced the cancellation of Fashion Fun Guys. Prior to finding a home on gay marketed broadcasting, Buffy used to be on at five o'clock in the morning on TNT. In "hook up parlance" scheduling the Vampire Slayer is a kin to slipping roofies into your own drink and passing out in a toilet stall.
Someplace on our planet there enough creative people to fill the slightly more than 300,000 hours of broadcasting created by a 2,000 channel environment each week. Yet YouTube continues to grow in popularity... and what would easily be described as attractive niche markets are resulting to showing brooding paranormal soap operas.
On the networks, America's number one new show is Hawaii Five-O. Which is not really a new show, it's an old show given a facelift.
If the End Times are signifying by a lack of creativity, that the human spirit has been compromised by sin, then re-creation of Jack Lord's “greatest work” is clearly a sign that we shouldn't be buying green bananas. The end is very near.
