More on the Subject of Television: While We're On That Subject: How to Make TV Better, and Why It's Been Broken

Adult Swim is mostly too SouthParkian to be watchable recently. I'd rather watch El Ray or AMC, The Hub, Boomerang, History 2, online streams, my own channels, The Simpsons on FXX, or something of that nature.

Toonami is still pretty good, but not Adult Swim. I was disappointed by Black Jesus. If by disappointed, you mean I never had any expectations of it to begin with when you compare it to the first and second season of The Boondocks, or the entire run of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Or Ben 10: Alien Force. Or Game of Thrones. Or Breaking Bad. Or 24.


Yep. I am pretty passionate about TV. Not just any TV, though. Good TV. I almost feel outraged or angry if an executive somewhere in TV World is sitting back while a bad show plays and they're expecting me to tolerate that. There's 1,001 reasons why EVERY minute of TV can and should be good. There's enough good shows and documentaries and dramas and comedies out there, you  don't NEED filler. You don't need the crap. YouTube has a ton of useable Broadcast Material. I cannot wait until the Day YouTube officially becomes a part of regular, traditional TV, whether it's a Video Playlist, a Series, a Channel, or just clips from movies, pre-existing non-filler TV, and action anime like what I do. There are ways it can be made possible that traditional television won't drive the majority of its viewers to chord cutting, and it starts with  broadcasting around or broadcasting directly from the stockpile of Amazing Material of stream video that already exists online.
