It's all about common denominators. Everything is dumbed down. Reality shows and contest shows are cheap to produce because most of the on-air people are there for free, unless they win.
I really miss good shows that TEACH YOU. Not necessarily documentaries, but like cooking shows that really teach. Most importantly WHY you are supposed to do it a certain way. At that, Good Eats excelled, and still does. Same with the post Galloping Gourmet Graham Kerr shows on public access. He is local, and a really great guy. I've met him a few times at small events and book signings. His wife Treena passed not too long ago, BTW.
Alton Brown was great!
