22. So don't watch it

Wed Feb 20, 2013, 08:59 AM

Feb 2013

Many TV shows are just as bad and just as popular with the masses as Dr Drew, some are even worse but you have the power, change the channel or do not watch it.

That is called freedom of choice, many more like Dr Drew then dislike Dr Drew, and hence he is still on the TV.

Perhaps we need a thread to complain about TV shows so everyone can bitch and moan about something totally meaningless as TV shows.

Everyone on the TV show agreed by their own free will to be on the TV shows, that is what they choose to do, right or wrong it is their choice.

For what it is worth, I don't watch Dr Drew, I have in the past and really don't care if he is on TV or not.

US Drone Policy seems like a much better thing to complain about seeing that the impact will be much greater then Dr drew on the TV.
