I will agree with Hope and Faith (with According to Jim a close 2nd).
There was a show on recently with Regis that was so bad I just couldn't turn away.

There's also a difference between thinking that a show isn't as good as it once was, and thinking it's simply not very good any longer. I haven't regularly watched The Simpsons since about 1998. Once in a while I'll catch a newer episode, and am usually appalled. It's not that it's not as good as it once was (which is certainly true), but that it really isn't very good, period.

Why are there teenager soaps on tv? The little assholes are out doping and screwing and the adults who get a respite at home have to suffer with watching other little assholes doping and screwing.
