Well put! These shows help make average Americans OK with their passive lifestyle. Get up, drink too much coffee, go to a job they're not thrilled about, pick-up some fast food for dinner, go home to a mountain of debt and dysfunctional relationships, then detach from their reality and immerse themselves into someone elses for a few hours each night... and don't forget to take your anti-depressant before bed so it can start all over again in the morning! For many who don't embrace their Personal Responsibility to cultivate their own happiness, pacifiers come in many forms!
