What about 4chan?
OH! Nah, I tried pulling some Holy War thing to bring creative integrity back to American airwaves... long story short, left everyone there arguing like kindergarteners... minus the colored blocks and toy cars.
Anyways, whoever mentioned Doctor Who... YEs, that is some excellent show there... but it's britich, I was talking specifically about American stuff...
So far, all I can think of that is good that is American that's on now is Heroes, and Avatar (God I miss Farscape. Why is it on My 9?), Mostly becuase apart from good ideas and plots... these shows have consistant storytelling.
I think that's what my main issue is: I've matured so much, that I now kinda expect shows to have a perverbial beginning and end/end that leads to a new beginning. Most shows that simply "go nowhere" or "Practically do the same thing, every episode" just don't really do much for me, anymore... that's probably another reason why I have gotten into anime, and stuck with it (at first it was the style, which was still unique back in the early-to-mid 90's, and now that it's more accepted in the American mainstream... more accepted, not completely accepted, I'm starting to like them for consistant stroytelling, or webs within webs, like Full Metal Alchemist, Eureka Seven, Zoids: Chaotic Century, Big O, Outlaw Star, and I've recetly gotten into Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick.)
And yes, I know some anime are not consistant, only going for jokes, and all that.... like Chromartie High School (funny as hell, I recomend it), Super Milk Chan (love or hate it, but you'll eventually know of it), and Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo (zany, funny, and overtly, madcappingly [is that even a word?] violent).
SO, I don't think that one medium is better than another. but I just feel that more could be done with the first (like Heroes or Avatar), to make American entertainment.... entertaining, again.
