I merely pointed out two things: (1) Scripted TV is alive and well and healthier than ever with many more outlets today with all the cable channels providing outlets for successful scripted programming and (2) Since you decided to take a swipe at some of the mindless crap I freely admit I watch, I though I would bring up some of what is universally accepted to be the bottom of the barrel of the scripted TV world, the soap opera and near the bottom of the soap opera world lies the OLTL.

BTW, how could I “make a comment I clearly didn't understand”, if I made it?????

I'll be sure to remember this when I post here a again. Never did I say anything about quality of TV, yet you bring it up as if I said Jersey Shore was a better quality show then any scripted show. I know that the show is garbage which is why I never watch it. So for you to come here and insult me because I watch soaps and made a comment you clearly didn't understand makes you very ignorant.

Most don't. The majority of Jersey Shore fans and followers know that it's a joke. It's more shameful that a bottom-of-the-barrel show like True Blood can amass a solid core of fans who think they're watching anything but softcore porn.

It's for entertainment purposes and everyone has the right to watch whatever show they want. I admit it, I watched some scenes last season especially that when Snooki was punched in the face. That was funny though! But that's it. I don't think it's reasonable to judge people according to what they watch. I watched them fight with other people but that doesn't mean I'll do what they are doing.
