Need further evidence of the dumbing down of America? Just take a quick cruise through the channels. We now have TV series that at the very best should have been a two part History/TLC/Discovery channel show. We adore watching people work in Pawn shops, dumpster diving, hairy bikers, keeping up with the K’s (I thought Paris was annoying), Jersey Shore (more than enough said).Thanks Mike — Although I have to admit I kind of like the show where they restore old bikes and candy machines.
