Television is shit

Although we have a television at home, we are not "watching" the TV programmes. We use it just as a screen device, through which we watch blu-ray disks, etc.

But, anytime I am powering on the TV in the evening, there is some really stupid Czech TV series.
a) it always looks very lame, actors are very lame, etc.
b) most of the time I see some sort of these soap operas - the actors there are doing nothing less than shouting at each other in a very dramatic way

I am sorry, but are the screenwriters social deprivants who know only hassles and quarrels? Sorry, but we never at home shout at each other with my wife in a such way and I feel disgusted only when watching such soap operas for two minutes... Now the worst thing about it is, that all these shows are broadcasted in the Czech Republic during so called "prime time" and millions of people are watching this kind of crap..

So why do they watch it? Because they can identifiy themselves with it? Or because of the idea of escapism? That their life is difficult, but still better than what they see on the telly? Sorry, but I do not want to be any part of this.
