I think the level of creativity amongst commercial tv execs is poor (and that 
being nice!).  Especially at Channel 10, where we have a minimum 1 hour of 
Simpsons on through the week.  I don“t have anything against the Simpsons, 
but seeing the same repeats over and over is mindless at best.  

Funny how it seems to mirror the music industry.  Poor quality music has been 
pumping out for the last few years and the music industry blames piracy for 
the slide..... :-)
