I don't BELIEVE it! Don't give me that "NOVA is good, Jock Coostow is
okay" dreck! TV is trash! Okay, so what? It's SUPPOSED to be trash!

Every closet pseudo-intellectual commie-hippie-pinko-dope-fiend just
loves to crawl out from under his or her rock and grab a borrowed
flamethrower whenever this subject comes up... TV IS OK! If it's
good enough for Sir John Gielgud, it's good enough for all you 
Masterbore Theater (no "re" in America, bud) simps.

What's so bad about mindless entertainment! Read a book if you want
to get uplifted - I'd rather watch "Leave It To Beaver" or "Green Acres",
or "Eight Is Enough" (gag! what a deliciously horrible show!), or
"Battlestar Ponderosa", or - show of shows - "Gomer Pyle"!

And the trash that comes on today is just as good as the trash that
came on yesterday - "A-Team", "V", "Dynasty", "Wheel Of Fortune",
"It's Your Move", "Mike Hammer", all great, monumental trash in
the fine American tradition - go to Jollye Olde Englande and watch
cricket or snooker or dog shows - "And the Queen is wearing an 
absolutely mouthwatering shade of tangerine! Oh my!" - just don't
complain about TV in the land of the free and the home on the range!

You guys probably don't even have a Ginsu Knife or a Popeil Pocket
Fisherman or the twenty-album set of The Roots Of Soul, so how could
you even begin to understand what TV is all about? Sheesh - I bet
it was YOU who made them take Buffalo Bill off the air. Sniff, sniff.
