But the talk shows and publicity stunts (all the celebrity gossip shows) are the ones that send me back to reading books. The talks shows are not much more than a few minutes filled by hosts that would be better filled by touring stand-up comics and then a series of one-on-one advertisements for other shows and movies. And "reality" shows are just insulting to anyone with an IQ over 100.

Very well said, I agree entirely.
I also wish that product placement would really just be during the ads, instead of actors and writers having to work around them interrupting the story.
