Has Late Night TV and the Overnights on Cable TV Always Been This MORBID?

If you browse through a digital cable TV program description listing on all the academic and grown up channels, a good 1/3 of them will have all this morbid crap written into show descriptions. Everywhere you look, it's almost just like reading a black death metal and/or gangsta-rap lyrics sheet:

Everything listed reads like "crime, justice, law. Deranged neighbors, deranged people, deranged family members. Murder murder suicide murder. Homicide, rape, pandemonium and destruction. Death terrorism, death, death, death, sex change operation, kill, kill, kill.

Is this supposed to be the "New American Dream" we're selling on TV. All this morbid crap. Kill and torture and mutilate everyone regardless of gender or age? Kill Thy Neighbor.

ALMOST As bad as daytime reality TV shows and sitcoms. Daytime is gross and tasteless and crass and cruel and chauvanist. Nighttime is just morbid crap. Oh boy! What fun! Suffering! Sounds like such fun, TV!

Get a clue.
