Sons of Anarchy, too. Yes, I would agree that there are finally some well written shows on now, but they are surrounded by 1000s of others that are totally dreck.
Case in point: neighbor's daughter recently starred in a reality show called "Below Deck", purportedly about the crew on a for-hire luxury yacht. It was totally fabricated, yet passed off as a "reality" show. The term "polished turd" came to mind when I watched a small amount of the show (all I could handle.) This, sadly, is representative of the majority of the crap that's out there....
