I don't own an all singing and dancing plasma/LCD TV. I don't care how good the picture quality is if what is being broadcast is utter diatribe. Here in Australia, free to air TV is garbage. Each of the commericial networks clone the same shows (home makeover, border security, find my missing loved one stuff). As for supposed SITCOMS, rarely does something funny come along. Everything is centred around the apartment, coffee shop, office. The actors may as well hold onto the scripts and read from the page it would be just as convincing.
Growing up I loved all the Lucy shows, Hogans Hero's, I dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Gilligans Island, Munsters, Fury. My all time favourite was and still is Dad's Army. Shows of this calibre can be repeated 40 odd years later and still be watchable. How many of todays sausage factory sitcoms can say that.
For me TV is to watch the early morning newsy type shows like GMA or currant affair shows or documentaries. Other than that the TV is for watching DVD's like old movies or again Doco's or a series like SVU.
