Personal choice....I actually only watch a few shows regularly (simply working too many hours)...House, Bones, Blood Ties...that's about it. But I have quite a few shows on DVD that I tend to watch whenever I have some free time...and my point is that there is quality on TV...lots of it amidst the "reality" crap and mindless "comedy".

it's not a matter of public safety, so why would the gov care?

Again, the whole comment was sarcastic, but nonethless, they did get involved in baseball, and the public screaming about cheaters doing roids and hitting the record books was exactly "public safety". When has public safety been a legitimate concern of the government?
