Television. It makes me think.

Television. It makes me think. If I were the Czar of television would I try to make it excellent, with good programming, or would I just try to make it unwatchable? Part of me thinks that as a medium it is so bad, so intrinsically rotten, that the best thing to do with it is to air readings of oceanographic studies, recitations of the whole NYSX listings pages, in short, to make it unbearable, and have people go out and do something else.
