Sounds like desperation to me

You got that right.  Hard to believe the sponsors would tolerate stuff like this, but ratings are ratings.  So then, nothing better on for some people?   Blame the audience, they control the ratings just by watching.  Low, lower, and now the lowest.

And my soon to be wife wonders why the only time I watch TV is to watch movies.  If the shows aren't bad enough, the commercials are enough to make a person cringe.  Even the shows I do want to watch, I wait until they are on DVD or Netflix so I can watch them when I want, without commercials.

Yeahhh, just look at what this Younger Naive Brainless Generation thinks is actually Talent anymore - I mean these stupid ignorant RAP & HIPHOP Music and video's, You'll Notice that none of them ever actually play a Real Musical instrument of any kind what so-ever !!  Unless you consider waving around a 9mm gun now days a musical instrument ?  Todays music & video directors & producers are Brainless Morons, who seriously wouldn't know Real Talent if it bit them in the Ass twice !  Just look at all these so-called artists today who just jump around on stage waving their hands and more- less talk & Lip Sync their way thru their music and video's, unlike the early 1980's MTV shows where artists actually played musical instruments and the music had a real beat and tune. Todays music and kids just jump around like they have a mess of Fire Ants in their pants waving their arms and making GANG Symbols or in their termonology GANGSTA symbols or somethin to that effect ! I cut ALL my Cable TV  5 years ago, and no I don't have satellite either, I have nothing, if I want to  watch TV anymore - I just put in a DVD Movie - these new TV Shows suck anymore from what i've seen so far on the net and what you all are talking about !  Please just gimme back Andy Griffith / Mayberry RFD  and or  the original Hawaii50, McMillian & Wife , anything but these stupid ain't really reality shows, more like GONG Shows !! remember the 1970's Gong Show ??  Actually I kinda liked Love American Style back in the 70's too,,,,

If your into reruns there should be some good infomercials on tonight. Check the TV guide if you need any potions for growing hair,, enhancing manhood,, weight loss, or maybe you're just in need of a pair of gloves that can peel potatoes.

That's what my mother said about The Beatles.

Yeahh but that kinda comparing Apples to Oranges really, the beattles at least played real musical instruments and could actually sing at least, NOT talk their way thru a supposed song with NO Real true beat or rythem to it,,and they weren't waving guns around and talkin about how they think the World Owes them something ot trying to glorify prision life and being in a gang either or hyping up womens butts either. Most of the women back then in the 1960's could at least sing too, and didn't have to be half naked either, unlike some of todays female supposed talent who do that to try to create a diversion away from the fact they can't really sing, so, they prance around 1/2 naked. anyway,, Nancy says enough is enough and her Daddy Frank too, Enjoy the Video -------} http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vur5VR4s ...

My 10-year-old son was watching cartoons on a cable channel the other day. A Viagra commercial comes on during the station break. What in the world are the corporate morons thinking when they queue an ad like that during a kid's show? Just as disgusted as I am, my wife looks at me and says, "Free market, huh." She's got a good point. "Free" comes with responsibilities, something the big corporations have forgotten. Safer to let my son watch cartoons on Internet sites like CrunchyRoll and Hulu. At least big pharma hasn't taken over the advertising there.
