Late-night Television Is Like The Cereal Aisle

Television's Escapist Programming Naturally Continues To Endorse Living Beyond One's Means As The Time-tested American Way And Rarely Depicts Families Or Individuals Wracked By The Pressures And Miseries That Come With Excess.

Late-night Television Is Like The Cereal Aisle In The Supermarket: Too Many Choices. Also, Too Many 'different' Brands That Really Aren't Different At All.
