2 things that have went to hell

This is a thread for listing two things that ou feel have declined in quality.
I'll kick it off with a rant against Comedy Central and MTV.
First off, Comedy Central's "original" shows have sucked donkey dick recently. For instance, Beat the Geeks, Let's Bowl!, Crank Yankers. Not only that, the new hosts for The Man Show are slope-browed ass clowns who make Adam and Jimmy look like erudite savants. Not only that, Comedy Central has been using its clout to make shitty made for t.v. movies like Windy City Heat, The Hebrew Hammer, and Knee High P.I. It also doesn't help that they really don't have much else in the name of programming. If it a lousy show its some stand up act. Gee, I bet it has to take a lot of talent for a multi-billion dollar company to TAPE SOMEONE'S GENUINELY FUNNY JOKES BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO IDIOTIC TO MAKE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T COMPLETE DOGSHIT!
Next on the choping block is MTV. These retards have forgotten what the "M" stands for. Enough stupid shows like Road Rules, Cribs, The Real World, etc.
And even when these guys get around to showing a goddamn music video they always cut it off! Heaven forbid that these morons would actually play the things that they're named after in their entirety!
I'm also fed up with their stupid D.Js like Ananda Lewis and Carson
Daley. Seriously, where does MTV scrounge up these worthless wastes of space? It also doesn't help that pop music sucks nowadays. If it isn't some repulsive boy band, its a skanky up and coming lip synching piece of jailbait or some petulant Nu-metal band that isn't worthy to be a roady crew for a hard-core, established band. And lets not forget these dime a dozen rappers with their dime a dozen videos. T and A and 38 bleeped out words does not a comp[elling video make. Oh, one last parting shot: Thanks for moving all the kick-ass videos to other pricey channels that I gotta subscribe to! Jackasses.

I thought the Hebrew Hammer was OK. Reno 911 was really good, as is Chapelle's Show (although the last two weren't very funny). Comedy Central has a bunch of dud shows, but it has a lot of good stuff too.

Crank Yankers is funny as hell! Either you haven't seen the show, or you just don't get it.

Sea Rex, you got me with The Chappelle Show(So, into goat play? Game. Blouses. Granny, no!) but Reno 911 is dogshit.

The only Comedy Central I watch is the classic South Park. I see commericals for Chappelle and Crank Yankers and think they look...stupid. I always see those stupid puppets shooting their snot all over the place and it really turns me away. On another commercial, Chappelle will just go up to somebody and say, "Slap," and hit the dude...not funny.

Chappelle's show is funnier then anything SNL and Mad TV has done these days.

Yeah, I was just about to give it to SNL and Mad TV. Those shows are horrible. The acting is pathetic on SNL, with cast members frequently giggling and forgettting the simplest of lines. Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon have got to be some of the worst Weekend Update anchors in a LONG time. You know you're shit when people think COLIN QUINN did a better job of it than you. They also have a history of firing people for the most bizarre reasons, most notably Kaufmann and Macdonald.
Mad TV doesn't even approach funny. It is the nexis of all things shitty in the sketch comedy world. Kids in the Hall gets cancelled after what, 4 years, and this show is still going strong? Why would Comedy Central pick this show up? Its asinine! Not one of the recurring characters is humorous or compelling, they're just scatalogical and annoying.
