What they need to thin out are the stupid talent competitions. And by thin out, I mean get rid of them all - American Idol, Canadian Idol, Dancing with the Stars, America's Got Talent, and all the other ones that are the same as the ones mentioned.

I don't mind the shows like Idol, or the dancing one, not involving the celebraties, because they show case actual legitimate talent.
But the other shows really go for the freak show quotiant, America has talent half the acts are fat guy Elvis look alikes, and we know that the winner is going to be a 12 year old girls singer.
I'd like to have real reality shows where people can die, like walking across a mine field, or swimming with the sharks. Or better yet carry a bag containing $10,000 through South Central Las Angeles at midnight.
Or put people with heart conditions on a treadmill and everytime they answer a question right they win money, but if they answer the question wrong the treadmill speeds up.
Has anyone ever read the Long Walk by Stephen King, that would make a fantastic T.V. show.
