I agree with the education secretary on this. PBS is designed to provide educational programming, not to promote religion, homosexuality, etc. That should be left to the parents.

Sounds like the government wasted $100 million on PBS. Maybe they should spend future money elsewhere and let PBS fend for itself like private enterprise.[:@]

How I wish! We'll probably get more and more social programming in place of educational programming as time goes on. Not to mention the vast majority of adult programming is pathetic and uninteresting to most of America.
I absolutely lambasted a local PBS television host via the mail when he stated that creating a statewide REFERENDUM on whether to raise property taxes for the school system was the equivalent of undemocratic fascism.
These PBS types are whacky nut jobs who love tax money - because a full 1/3 of the PBS money is from taxpayers.
I was talking about PBS specifically, but yes, reality TV is a load of crap. As I say, I've got reality right in front of me. Why watch it on TV?
I have to admit, though, Frontier House would've been good if the families had guns and could use them.
Aint that the truth! The Frontier House producers spent tons of money and effort to make it realistic but left out one of the most important tools of the pioneer. That was ridiculous. I think the whole concept was a flop anyway. I watched a few of the Colonial House episodes and between the atheists, the feminists, the gay guy and the thumbing their nose at the town authority, no sense of reality was maintained.
I enjoy some reality tv. But I know the nature of it.

I missed that one completely. Now that you've described it, I'm glad! The one problem with reality TV is that it's hardly ever real!
