I agree with you, James. I'm bored with TV, and the only time I watch it is for 1-2 hours at night--"quality" time with hubby as he's addicted to it. I clean out my emails, read Medium stories, and do crossword puzzles, all the while pretending I'm enjoying the show. I pay enough attention to get by. The only shows that offer inspiring information are CBS Saturday and Sunday Morning versions, where interesting, change-making people are interviewed. I've written articles from info gained here.
