BRTD and Santander putting South Park and Family Guy is ridiculous. Have either of you actually watched truly bad TV before?

I have seen Family Guy, yes.

How the f[inks] is this bad TV?

You could actually make a case for any MTV reality show, but I focused on The Real World because it's in my opinion the single most destructive TV show of all time. It ruined MTV at first (seriously 90s MTV was awesome*) by starting the precedent for all the sh!tty reality shows they had, and then TV in general once non-MTV networks started the same thing. Television as a whole recovered once narrative-driven acclaimed shows started to blow up instead, now considered some of the best of all time, (like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, well the latter had it not been for the horrific ending which kind of ruined the whole series), but MTV never did and for setting the stage for both that and that ugly decade-ish period that we had with TV as a medium in the dumps, that puts The Real World well ahead of later junk like The Hills and Jersey Shore. The fact that it was never a particularly interesting show to begin with (I remember even as a preteen/teenager finding it as dull as paint drying and would rather watch the educational videos I had to watch in school than it), is kind of just the rotten icing on a moldy cake.

*Though I'll admit there might be a bit of a nostalgia filter at work here, for example when I tried watching The State a couple years back my immediate reaction was "Oh wow this show didn't age well." and then later realizing that's quite the understatement. I recall someone else noting that it's basically utterly hilarious if you're under 25 and then after you turn 25 almost instantly shifts to being near unwatchable and think that's possibly an accurate summary.

I don't think many 37 year olds like that mindless pile of sh!t.
