As I said in another comment, these are just things that I have personally learned in the last 8 years. Disagree with them if you will. I do agree that TV quality is better in the UK (we get most of it in Ireland) compared to the states, but there is still plenty of rubbish that people waste their time with. If you just watch documentaries or educational programming, then that enriches your life and there would be nothing negative for me to say about it.
