PBS is far from perfect, but it is needed in this age of dumbed-down television.
I don't mean to sound like an elitist, and I watch some shows that are strictly for entertainment purposes (I like Family Guy), but I like how PBS--unlike the History Channel--runs actual history programs. Rick Steves's travel shows are far better than Man vs. Food or anything else on the Travel Channel. I also like NOVA. I don't find PBS's documentaries to necessarily be dry or dull; a week or two ago they had a program about dolphin sex, but a lot of people would still find that boring, I guess. The NewsHour provides in-depth coverage and analysis you hardly ever find on CNN, particularly on international stories.
