Why Does TV Suck?

You now back in the day there used to be some pretty good show on television.  Cheers, Seinfeld, Night Court, even Friends was mildily amusing.  Then you had Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Star Trek, all pretty good stuff.  So what in hell happened?  Now all there seems to be is suck ass sitcoms, and the lamest type of reality shows imaginable!  Housewives of New Jersey is one that makes me want to puke!  Thank God I like to read or else I might sprain my thumbs every night after the kids go to sleep for boredom!  Unfortunately my wife does like the exact shows that I hate.  Does it really have to be this way?  Why can't we have a good show on TV any more?  I even tried to watch the beloved Modern Family once and I wasn't impressed.  I have been assured that I must have watched a bad night, but I am not convinced.  Oh yeah and Glee do we really need to sing through every show!    To be fair there are a couple of shows that I like or liked.  Survivorman rocked - the guy is a true bad ass and did all of the stuff on the show for real.  House is another great show, even though the topic is a bit old now - Hugh is one funny dude.  The Deadliest Catch - those guys are cool.  I don't know - maybe I am missing the boat.  Is there anything out there that could possibly please me and my wife at the same time on TV?  I would like to find some common ground so we can watch a couple of shows a week together and not have me heckle it the whole time!  Who knows - maybe I am just a jerk!  I would love your television suggestions, and I promise I will be open minded if they don't suck!
