I hate this attitude. We're living in a golden age of television writing, with some of the greatest narrative fiction of our generation being written for the TV, and still you get people looking down their nose at the medium. What are you basing this opinion on? Honey Boo Boo and American Idol? I barely watch TV, and even I could list a dozen amazingly good shows produced since 2000.

It's both good at bad. The Wire and GoT are kind of counteracted by CSI/NCIS/Burn Notice/Law&Order and all that other garbage that pulls in much higher ratings than the good shows.

To the OP, those aren't adult shows so don't worry. Dexter's Lab and Animaniacs contain far more depth than anything CBS has.

I have gone on watching stints of some random kids shows that I used to watch. Just yesterday I saw someone post a Kim Possible video and I watched the entire thing. There's some sentimental value in these kinds of shows, and it really makes me smile watching them and actually getting all the references they make.

I actually don't watch a lot of TV either. It's different from person to person. I can probably iterate on this further in the future with a blog of my own that I care to post.

I honestly just think it's that you don't like to "invest". "Adult shows" usually require more of the viewer, while kids shows are just... fun. kids have shorter attention spans and probably can't keep "bigger plots" in their minds as actively as adults, so it's a bit more simplified, and there's nothing wrong with an adult to prefer that kind of shows. It's like most people who watch anime prefer simple casual action animes like DBZ rather than the more "heavy" animes for older people like Mushishi and Monster.

I guess, to use a gamer term, you're a "casual TV viewer".

Depends on the show, but I rather enjoy anime and that seems to be the only genre where I'm watching half way recent things.(Most recent I watched was Season 1/2 of Black Butler and Deadman Wonderland both amazing!)

Archer is a good show that I pepper in occasionally just to spice it up, but iunno it is funny but it just seems like a more concentrated family guy where they just try to do the most "disgusting"(i.e. that professor and the fat chick randomly hook up after being locked in a closet or something from the episodes I've seem) and random things.

I do enjoy invader zim a lot =D i saw it originally on Nick till my parents agreed that it was not good for my age group and then have picked up watching the last few episodes I missed because of that.
