I was losing faith in TV until I got a DVR (kind of a Tivo for cable). There is alot of quality programming out there, it just doesn't usually come on in prime time on the major networks. With the DVR, I never miss an episode of Jeopardy. I also watch alot more Discovery, History Channel, and especially PBS.
TV can be enriching, but it takes some effort to make it such.
(Incedentally, because I was watching too much TV, I took it out of my bedroom. I feel much better off without it.)
