The state of TV is not good

TV viewers have been bombarded for months with ads for Direct TV with monthly costs for upgrades. For what, may I ask?? For programs too simple or dumb for 10-year-olds. Programs, situation comedies that were done over and over to begin with and then we can have them now as something special to watch again and again.

And there are all the commercials, such as for medications for people having bowel problems and a cartoon character guiding a woman to the ladies room and giving her advice.
