In recent years, this TV Addict has started to notice a disturbing trend in the world of television. One that has nothing to do with network executives penchant for continuing to employee one Michael Rappaport (Although that does seriously concern me, and frankly must stop!) Rather, the gap continues to widen between what I (the TV Addict) watch and you, the rest of America. A trend made all the more clear after taking a look at the Top 20 Shows in season-to-date ratings that was recently published in the January 9, 2009 issue of Entertainment Weekly.
Among the multiple incarnations of CSI, the rest of CBS’ seemingly unstoppable procedural lineup (CSI: CRIMINAL MENTALISTS THAT DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A TRACE AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR) and the bane of my existence known as reality television, this self proclaimed TV Addict and lover of all things small screen watch only four, count ‘em, four of the country’s Top 20 shows.
