I really only watch like a total of 4 shows. That 70's Show, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, and Rock of Love.

The programming is terrible and almost exclusively appeals to the lowest common denominator. Americans are stupid and so is their television.
Some shows can be clever and funny, but these are far and few between. They almost always end up failing for being "too intelligent." [I've seen this term used a number of times, even in newspaper articles.] An example of this would be Arrested Development, which has to be the best series made in the last decade. FOX canned it.
Television shows (and especially commercials) are becoming increasingly ADHD and are shortening attention spans. Robot Chicken, which you mentioned, is basically the #1 offender.
Honestly, what is there to like on TV? The news is bullshit, the sitcoms are terribly written, and reality TV is just making Americans stupider. It is simply shameful... and really speaks volumes of how unforgivably retarded the average TV watcher is. 400 channels and not a damn thing worth watching unless it came out of the 70s.
