Somewhere along the line, summer television forgot the true meaning of fun.
A short, simplistic, even childish word, but important. There’s a fun deficit going on in TV on these sunny days.
Plenty of people would vehemently disagree. Why, we’re a stone’s
throw away from fun on any given night. “America’s Got Talent” or “The
Next Best Thing” or any reality competition that a coma patient with
eyes half open can keep up with — if that’s not fun, what is it?
Wallpaper masquerading as primetime programming. Background noise.
