If you still watch TV you're, quickly, becoming one of the few.
Wanna know why PBS has so many fund drives nowadays? Their audience is down 46% in, just the past month, FOX down 16% ABC down 10% CBS down 5%, NBC down 4%.
Most of the reason, of course, is the change in technology but another reason is....how many reality shows can you watch without getting sick?
Those early days of TV were magic. Why? All the talent came from Vaudeville and the night club circuits and Broadway. Night after night, year after year, those performers learned their craft from the ground up.
With rising costs and changing times, the clubs closed and vaudeville died. There was no place left to learn the trade so we turned to "know it alls" with college degrees who have learned all the tricks of corporate politics but, if you lined them all up in a row you couldn't find one full ounce of entertainment talent among them.
