American TV sucks
I knew it'd be bad; but it's really, really bad.
Ad breaks every 5 minutes. Whole channels of filler. Repeats as the rule, rather than the exception. (In UK TV listings, repeats are identified with an (R); in US TV listings, you can assume everything's a repeat unless it's specially identified with an (N) for new episode.) And syndication means that the same old shows are repeated across multiple channels.
It's dumbed-down to schoolchild level; nothing is challenging or intellectually exciting. It's opinionated and biased beyond all belief. It's censored to a suprising degree. And it's hugely insular; the world outside the US, Iraq aside, simply might as well not exist.
Awful, just awful.

If you were to look at tv in the usa you'd think just white people live in the country.
If you happen to come upon a tv show that has Asians/Blacks Hispanics and other cultural backgrounds its totally made for the white american market.
Its all very insulting and stereotyped.
I'm African/Asian there is nothing for me and my kind in America.
Neither Eudcation nor Entertainment.
its all very sad
