I had no idea what the width & breadth of drivel could be until I got cable TV and stayed up late. The 'reality' shows are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Shows about the 'tensions' in baking strange cakes...and about people who drive too fast....and about those whose cars get booted and how tedious it is to pay the fine.

Yeah, Sex in the City is near the bottom...but I'm sure ideas are brewing to sink lower.
