Will Reality T.V Be Killed By Jesus, Zombies, And Dragons?

Seems as though television programs are improving amongst a large amount of lazy garbage which is still all over the networks. The viewers are proving that they are interested in thought provoking material, good writing, great acting, and less reality T.V.

"Basic cable conquered with AMC's zombie drama "The Walking Dead" and History's miniseries "The Bible." Even prestige cable got its licks in. HBO's "Game of Thrones" -- a show that people have to buy a premium service to see – earned more viewers than ABC's "Red Widow" and came in just below NBC's "The Apprentice," shows the broadcasters give away for free. Sunday night could represent the future of television: Cable gaining viewers as networks offer aging reality shows and underwhelming scripted ones. Only sports are still a sure thing."

"History's "The Bible" miniseries scored a record 11.7 million viewers for its finale, and AMC's "The Walking Dead" drew even more souls -- 12.4 million. Maybe the holiday gave the Jesus-related programming a boost -- but you wouldn't expect it to help the zombies. Both "Walking Dead" and "The Bible" drew more twice the numbers of ABC and NBC's shows...  Broadcasters can take heart in the fact that cable networks can't usually perform as well as they did Sunday, because they "don't yet have enough shows." AMC and HBO roll out their prestige programming Sundays, essentially ceding other nights."


Here is a list of some shows I feel may be the game changers; those which will inspire future projects, and ultimately bring about the demise of the shallow, materialistic, narrow minded, and lazily produced soap opera like reality programs which seem to glorify ignorance.

   There is nothing more important than the written word, and I'm thankful to see that good writers are being offered jobs now in television. Too many mediocre producers and writers have been making millions off of ignorance, and it's time for us to have more quality for the buck.
