State of TV

I'm a television fan.

I love many things, but think some things really stink. I might even hate some stuff.

The broadcast television networks are fighting for anything that resembles a hit. Let's look at each tv net.

CBS: NCIS starring Mark Harmon is a monster. Great tv series and one of my favorites. CSI, Criminal Minds and a few others really make them, for the most part, a fantastic place. Elementary and Vegas are a couple that I am enjoying now.

ABC: They had a nice streak for a while with Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. One is gone and the other isn't what it was. Last Resort starring Andre Braugher has some great potential and people seem to like it. I know I do.

NBC: It's the final hoorah for The Office. The peacock needs some help. Revolution has people talking. I kinda dig it. We will see.

FOX: American Idol is wobbly. X-Factor is whatever. I am looking forward to The Following starring Kevin Bacon. It might be one of the better things for FOX.

Let's talk news. The tv nets news divisions well, blow. ABC is the best of the bunch. I do think Diane Sawyer does a fine job. Jake Tapper is the top gun covering politics in a zero bullshit manner. CBS is alright in some spots, but very biased in many ways. NBC just sucks, biased beyond belief. I'm not sure if they will EVER fix their approach to news. Probably not.

Sports. Alright, Al Michaels is always fantastic and a few others, but my main issue with the sports boradcasts is the announcing is horrid.

Cable is KING. FX's Sons of Anarchy is the greatest thing going. AMC's The Walking Dead is a fun one. HBO's Boardwalk Empire is a beer we should all drink.

Television puts so much garbage out there. Part of it is the American appetite for crap. Reality tv needs to go...anytime would be nice. I'm over it.

I love tv. I hate the bullshit.
