Question:
Is there any money to be made with a cable/sat channel for INTELLIGENT tv shows only?
This channel would feature shows like The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Max Headroom, China Beach, Commander-in-Chief, Life as we know it, and other shows that required intelligence to comprehend and appreciate, instead of the mindless drivel that the networks keep playing to the least common denominator of the viewing public.
Oh, my proposed channel would have an outright ban on all reality and game shows.

Third Time's a Charm: We'd ban ALL game shows, but we'd excuse you for changing the channel to any established, original gameshow (defined as "any gameshow that aired before the first episode of 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire'")

Add ABC's recently canceled "Traveler" to that list, too.

PBS has been trying this for years and they still have to do membership drives to stay on the air.
America doesn't want education or thought provacation. They want something fantastical and low brain power.
