I would like to thank everyone who posted. There is another writer I talk to who also complains about television programming. Her expression is "these people are too stupid to live." My comeback is "I can't believe they are being paid to act like clowns."
It's the same with books. Whenever I find the time to read I want to be entertained and educated. I find both whenever I read books set in small towns with characters I'd want to meet and/or have live close to me.
