Are you kidding? There's actually quality television now, you know. There are incredibly creative people who have come in with great ideas for shows, and craft them with more quality than 95% of the movies released nowadays. Arrested Development is by far the funniest, most inventive, well-written, and perfectly acted television show in history, as far as I'm concerned. Veronica Mars is a perfect example of an original spin on a relatively tired idea, elevated by perfect acting and the ability to truly sustain a mystery throughout a season. No one's done it as well as they have since the first season of Twin Peaks. Sure, I have my guilty pleasures, but shows like those two, and Battlestar Galactica, which is one of the best dramas to hit television in years, not to mention THE best sci-fi show, redeem television. And don't even get me started on Gilmore Girls.
I really hate the attitude that there's nothing good on TV. There's plenty of crap, but there are more quality shows on television now than there probably ever has been. I hate that holier-than-thou "TV SUCKS" attitude. Most music sucks too, and most movies suck. That doesn't mean that there aren't amazing films and amazing artists out there. Anyone who bitches about TV in a blanket statement-their credibility goes down in seconds to me.
