Sadly scripted TV is being swallowed whole by reality TV. Not because people love it, but because it is insanely cheep to produce. Trash is cheep to crank out, and if you can fill the hour at 1/20th the cost, you can lose 3/4 of your audience and still be money ahead.I suspect the web is the future for quality programming. Pay cable will always have incentive to produce good shows because when their viewers leave they lose subscribers and that hurts whole network not a single show. The Web rewards (albeit slowly) quality and encourages more of it...Just ask Felica Day.
