    I can pretty much guarantee you could steal the authentic Mona Lisa, take it to Pawn Stars, and they’d give you 20¢ because “ThEy’Re TaKiNg A rIsK bUyInG tHaT” just to rip off customers who don’t know any better.

      The goal of the networks is to sell ads. If this gets more views then it gets shown. Nothing more to it than that. You’re looking for quality entertainment. They want to sell over priced car warranties. Those are very different goals and so the paths have diverged.

      They cater to their audience. And who in this day and age is spending lots of time watching cable TV?

    I don’t regret my decision to cut cable many years ago.

    And it was crap like this that helped me make that choice (along with ever increasing prices and the worsening ad-to-content ratio)

    Roku LiveTV is awesome. Watched a great BBC doc on the Nile the other day, very few commercials. The channels are way more focused.
