I absolutely think television is for the lowest common denominator. SO many shows on television are so... DUMB... they cannot be meant for higher-educated people. King of the Hill, Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girls, pretty much all the reality shows, sitcoms... OK, it's hard for me to think of a program that is NOT for this lowest common denominator group. But it is possible! The Office is one, I think, that makes fun of this dumb kind of show. It requires (or used to, at least) a little bit higher of a thinking process.
I don't watch TV. I just always have better things to do, and it seems like such a waste of time because of the types of programming on. So, I tried to watch some, and guess what, big surprise. It felt like a waste of time. It CAN be something to keep me company, I guess, while I'm making dinner or doing another activity, but I can't even imagine just sitting down to watch television. There is too much sex and swearing on for me to be comfortable just watching it or relaxing with it. I'd much rather talk to a real person or watch a movie.
