Where do they come up with this Stuff?

Just a programming note. I had the misfortune to be grinding through the channels last night looking for something half decent to watch after dinner. Other than the amusing SHAQ Vs series I was perplexed by the new crop of reality crap.

Have you seen Pregnant & 16 yet. I really can't believe that they have sponsors for this shite. If they think they are doing anyone a service by showing this, they must have lost their collective minds. It does not help 16 year olds cope with pregnancy, it does not educate, it does not inform. It shows a spoiled 16 year old cheerleader teenager and her posh life and the 'struggle' she goes through having a baby. Now I admit I only watched one episode which condensed 9 months of pregnancy, giving birth, fighting with her mother, buying a new car with grandpa into a half an hour. Hopefully that was the end of series and it will never be shown again.

What happened to content? This is not Reality TV, this isn't even TV. Somebody out there must be able to write a series, a drama, a sitcom that actually says something. Maybe after watching the complete 5 seasons of HBO's 'The Wire' I have become spoiled. We need to want more from TV.
