I'm not a particularly religious person and certainly not a member of

degenerate. Talk about morality "sliding down the slippery slope", that
show seems to have to slid down to just about the bottom of said slope.

Well, as you probably can presume, I do not watch the show, so can't
respond to your claim of it being "highly moral" or getting its point.
However, with the little snippets I have seen, I -do- equate your
"utterly vulgar" and "outrageously tasteless" with my "degenerate".

FWIW, I do watch and enjoy 'King of the Hill' and would agree that it is
highly moral-- and amazingly, they seem to be able to do it without
gratuitous vulgarity and outrageous tastelessness.

Sorry, but IMHO, a large majority of network TV is truly mindless pap.

Most of the shows I referred to were not network shows.

Yes, I realized that and that is *specifically* why I did spell out
"network" TV in my response. However, it (network) is still watched by
tens of millions and it is still mindless pap.

You're welcome to your opinion, but if you think this is the Golden (or
Platinum) Age of TV, then I've got some nice Florida land I'd like to
sell to you... :-)

How much?

Best offer!

....but in the meanwhile, it looks like we can respectfully agree to
disagree as to if we are experiencing another "Golden Age" of TV.
