T.V. has always been a wasteland. I'd say its far less of one now since we do have more choices which don't involve the lowest common denominator.

It used to be finding a science related show as a rare event on TV, where as now they are on 24/7. Sure there is a ton of crap, more than ever, but there is also good programing as well.

I go from the science channel to discovery to history to NLG, in my surfing. Sure even there you will find a share of crap like 'haunted history' or some fluff documentaries, but over all there is some real quality there as well. I'll also watch the food network which has increased my culinary acumen quite a bit, and there is always playboy for boobies.

Now maybe network TV is in fact a wasteland, but I haven't watched it in 10 years.
