No offense, but if you wanted a sitcom, you probably shouldn't have had your TV tuned to the Discovery Channel in the first place...I'm pretty sure they've never aired any sort of sitcom whatsoever.
There are still sitcoms on TV, they're just on the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX). Yeah, reality TV is a big (and completely manufactured/self-fulfilling) "craze" because the networks realize that it's super-cheap to make compared to sitcoms or especially hour-long dramas, which makes it very easy for those shows to become profitable. A lot of the "job oriented" shows don't bother me. I may not go out of my way to watch them but I've found them pretty engrossing when I do. I do lament that there's not much history on History these days, but ehn...every channel eventually starts to swing more mainstream/less specialized as their audience grows, and History International and Military History are still pretty decent. Either way, reality shows aren't the worst things to happen to TV (even if it seems like it sometimes): The money a network saves by putting out a cheapo reality show might be money that they can invest in a higher-quality program later on. |
