| Topic | Is it my imagination or is TV getting worse? |

Secondly, instead of using cool musical jingles, everybody wants to use comedy now. Most importantly, there are way too many commercials compared to actual TV time. I almost forgot about that, but yes, this too. There actually used to be a limit to how much advertising TV stations were allowed to show. The only immediate effect to that limit being abolished was the birth of infomercials, but over time, more and more commercials have crept into all programming. Most people, when asked if TV is worse today, tend to only look at the shows, which is largely subjective, but there are some notable objective ways TV is worse that often get overlooked in these sorts of topics. The only real objective advantage to TV today is more channels to choose from, but the negatives outweigh that. --- Who's your favorite character from "Bend It Like Beckham"?
