I find that "quality programming" is almost non-existent on TV which tends to create programs suitable for the lowest common denominator of possible audience. Which makes even scientific show dumb, shallow, pointless, non-educational.
Really, I don't see what you can learn from TV. Movies for an emotional response once per week - sure, but TV as anything but mindless time filler? Sorry I can't buy that.
You can randomly browse wikipedia and get exponentially more quality information than watching some dumbed down discovery.

- Tichy 17y agoI don't know many documentaries (unfortunately), but have you watched the "Planet Earth" series by the BBC? I guess one day movies like that will be priceless, when the things they show don't exist anymore (hope it'll never come to that). But seriously, some scenes are just incredible, I don't know how they did it (finding certain animals doing certain things, they must have had infinite patience).
