What is it, are people so lazy now that they don't even bother to see in advance what is going to be on the boob tube, and just pick the least offensive show that's on when they're sitting in front of the set? Don't people time-shift anymore? Don't they care what they watch?
What a stupid question. Of course they don't care.
TV Guide in its new, bland, useless, generic state is just one more indication of how lousy U.S. TV has become and another reason why I probably won't bother getting a new TV when it all goes digital in 2009.

Even some local papers quit publishing the local TV listings such as the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. Mom was upset at that. At least the Post Gazette still makes one. TV Guide is just a mere shadow of its former self.
