There is a lot of crap out there but on the other hand many consider it to be a new Golden Age of Television. Granted I think the sans-advertisements HBO has as much to do with this as its ad-driven counterparts.
Breaking Bad and Mad Men? I think those are examples of great commercial television.
I think one could easily go without though and probably live a richer life if you choose a more productive alternate activity in its place. But sometimes you just want to zone out on some pop drama for an hour.

You advocate good television shows, he is talking about watching television in front of a television, as controlled by a television station, at their schedule. It is quite possible to watch the shows on your terms, when it fits into your schedule - who is to say that you need to zone out at same time your favourite show in on air?
