Most fans of Adult Swim are stoners. It's been that way for a very long time.

It's like that with my favorite shows now.
Hell's Kitchen started out good, focusing on the talent of the chefs and on cooking. I mean it was a real competition based on skill. Now it's de-evolved into another drama fest with competitors bickering at each other, backstabbing, high emotional breakdowns and of course Ramsey cursing every 5 seconds. The last season was almost unbearable with that Elise bitch and everyone knows that they kept her on for the ratings, otherwise if it was an older season she would have been kicked off straight away. But no, despite Chef Ramsey even catching her at her schemes she was still kept on. Plus the show has become too formulaic. Same thing with Kitchen Nightmares.
Really, the only show I find worth watching is House.

Leave me to my Holmes on Homes, Doctor Who and Star Trek, and just about everything else can fuck off.

The history channel once claimed Rasputin had sexual feelings for Olga Nicholaievna, Nicholas's daughter. In fact, he had feelings for Olga Alexandrovna, Nicholas's sister. As a Romanov fanatic, I've refused to watch the HC since.

Basically. Pretty much all I watch on TV these days is sport and a few docos (thankfully, the decent ones tend to get taken up by FTA [Free-To-Air] channels here), although even with the sport I'll often listen to the radio broadcast and surf the web (I find radio commentaries seem better).
As an aside, why is this in the Religion & Philosophy section? Wouldn't Entertainment & Television be more appropriate?

That's the idea, the entire town is a giant parody of right-wing Christians at their finest. There are only 4 characters with any redeeming qualities to them and of those, only 3 are straight-pure. But I dare you, dare you not to get a little misty-eyed watching "Closeface" - the show only got canceled because starting in season 3 it just got TOO dark. That being said, most of the new stuff on AS pisses me the fuck off, we need more Venture Bros quality shows, not this China, Il bullshit. I'll even take Squidbillies because at least it makes the attempt to be both funny and intelligent in its satire. But I agree that T&E fucked the network up, I don't see how anybody could like that drek.

Ah, History Channel. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd claim that the History Channel (and related such channels) were owned by fundies who want to disinform the public in order to make them more likely to believe total woo.

What is it with these niche cable stations that never stick to their niche? They used to, but then they took an arrow to the kneegot high. This is why I don't watch TV anymore. The Internet at least understands how to stick to its target audiences.

As a Romanov fanatic, I've refused to watch the HC since. Hooray for historic pedanticism! Getting mad over a person mixing up Nicholaievna and Alexandrovna in everyday conversation is pedanticism. But a show that was written, edited a few times, shot, edited a few times, then edited once more for good measure, that uses supposed "experts," had better get their facts straight. They've plenty of time to notice and correct mistakes.
