I found this link that I found extremely depressing as my three of my four favorite TV shows probably ever were on it. The public is stupid, and that's why I'm glad private cable channels still exist, like HBO and Showtime exist, where people have a lot more freedom to be creative and come up with unique shows. But even with that freedom, the best still fall, i.e. The Wire.
