It's not just the telly but the whole of western society. It's a by-product of overpopulation. If women aren't at home raising kids, they gotta do something...might as well work on making society more appealing for them in other ways.

I think there are FAR too many CSI/Law & Order type shows.

And they are on all freaking day and night just about.

I can't watch a f'ing news program without hearing about celebrity news. When the fuck did celebrities become news worthy?

Seriously.... who gives a shit if Hilton has to do 45 days in jail?

Sir Patrick is paranoid.

Cable Top 10 Shows

Broadcast Top 10 Shows

Seems to me there is plenty of programming for all of us. Perhaps Sir Patrick is more upset that women are daring to sit and watch TV, when there are dirty dishes in the sink?
