There was a time when the television had educational material such as Bernstein giving children lessons in classical music via CBS. There was also a time when Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Jack Benny, and The Three Stooges used to entertain without the use of foul language or stirring hatred. I have to use my DVD to enjoy these classics.
Unfortunately these days have disappeared and the television in America has become decadent, vulgar, undignified, with promotion of prostitution. Who cannot forget the series "Desperate Housewives" with the cliche of women "not getting sex from their husbands and looking elsewhere". Who cannot forget the part where one of the actresses said to the plumber: "Can You Fix My Pipes?" in a sexual innuendo.
Where there is lack of respect there is also racism, the same programme "Desperate Housewives" whose stars promote prostitution because maybe the artists in their unconscious minds have "tendencies of prostitutes" insulted the Philippines and the Health Care Profession in the Philippines.
Where there is decline in the television, the society follows as well with the Republicans and Democrats attacking each other over personality flaws. Even Hollywood has the people going after the news story of Ellen De Generes Dog, with the antics of a Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, and Paris Hilton. US Society stinks in its present state since there are almost no family entertainment [unless a person can go to public television, or sports].
I myself have seen in the Internet television from China, and The Muslim World with their promotion of family values. One has to wander if many people are turning off the USA and turning onto the Islamic World because of this.
I have also seen television programmes and movies from India with Bollywood and Lollywood being superior in taste and morality to Hollywood.
