Only in America – The best of Daytime Television
Daytime television in America
should be avoided at all costs
the only thing worth watching
during the day is the Weather Channel
There are several different sorts of daytime television programs produced. Most of these shows can be produced on a very low budget, as these shows have to be able to make at least five new episodes per week (sometimes more) for most of the year.

I watch a lot of TV, primarily HBO specials, History, Discover, NatGeo, news, BBC, and dozens more. There is a lot of quality stuff on television, but not during the day, except for the news channels, and the others I mentioned. Daytime TV is a vast wasteland….
I can’t comment on the current state of US television, because its content made us decide years ago it isn’t worth owning a TV, much less paying too much money every month so advertisers can pump their crap into the house under the guise of “programming.”
You DO realize, don’t you, that the purpose of television programming is to deliver audiences to advertisers?
