American TV (and by extension Canadian TV, barring CBC*) Not the shows themselves, though about 98% are rubbish. I hate the ads every 6 minutes. I hate the way that ads now infiltrate the shows with popups, and that credits are now a little box in the corner while they advertise something else. I hate the overall lowering of intelligence.
*CBC television isn't great (I really only watch the news on there) but I give them credit for trying. Likewise, I give credit to PBS, though I wish they didn't have to beg so much.
Basically I wish TV was more like BBC and Channel 4 in the UK, where there's room not only for entertainment but interesting shows about architecture or art or nature or history, etc.
