I cannot wait until the informational age comes back... the time when people are sick of all this reality junk and turn to things like CNN/C-Span/60 Minutes/ or even 20/20 (ie, the real reality, not some made up junk to hope for ratings).
Unlikely, given the fact that ratings are the life's blood for commercial TV-stations. The sad truth is that people are in fact snobs. They claim to watch informational and cultural programs, while they'd rather see Survivor. Or the not-quite-full-nudity sex of Big Brother-look alikes. I used my TV to watch Discovery Channel, and while it was available, Cartoon Network. Now, I just surf the Net, or cuddle with the GF. I'm seriously considering getting rid of the thing.
