I could do without tasteless fare like "The Swan," "American Idol," all gossip shows, all afternoon soap operas, "Doctor 90210," all girls-gone-wild type infomercials (Hell, why stop there? ALL infomercials), most news shows (incredibly tasteless, they are), The O'Reilly Factor, and while I am at it, practically everything else that's on the TV.
