Why should you have to provide backup. There's too little time and more than enough in the way of great books, music, theatre, trips to the pub with friends, etc., etc. If some form of alleged "entertainment" comes along, where you find the basic concept to be unappealing, you have every right to summarily dismiss it. I've had the opportunity to watch both "The Weakest Link" and "Dog Eat Dog" here in the USA. While we have had many outstanding imports of UK TV shows, "Link" was weak and "Dog" was a mutt. You'd have to pay me at a pretty good rate before I'd tune them in again. Just to be fair, the UK hardly has a monopoly on twaddle and tripe, as there are many American TV shows that I also find completely unappealing.
