I think it would do everyone good to stop spending time surfing the internet, watching movies/television so that they can spend time having their own life rather than observing the lives of others. That way we could spend our time criticizing ourselves rather than passing judgment on what we see in others. Right?

It's the economy, stupid. People have had to turn of their cable/satellite.

Many of the quality shows are being cancelled and replaced by substantially cheaper, lower quality shows that people watch once…and move on.

As a society we are conditioning ourselves to NOT watch TV as much as we used to because of this.

And to #4 you've already passed judgment on those that pass judgment, so welcome to the club. I think people should be able to spend their time as they see fit and not be held to someone else's standard of what is good or bad. Still, I respect where you are coming from.

If they're only counting regular television viewing no wonder there's a decline. Are they counting DVR and online viewing as well? Someone should tell them that the days of sitting down to watch a TV show at its regular time are long gone.

Amanda Bynes Arrested In New York City AND Taken To Psychiatric Hospital!!!!!!

Amanda Bynes had a run-in with the popo in NYC on Thursday night, which resulted in her arrest AND subsequent taking to a psychiatric hospital!

Police showed up at the former child star's midtown apartment after receiving reports of a disorderly person. And that's when shit got crazy!

When the NYPD arrived at Bynes' pad on West 47th Street, she threw a bong out the window, cuz it probably had crack "incense" in it, and she didn't want law enforcement to find it.

Twitter-loving Amanda was arrested on a charge of reckless endangerment.

After her arrest, Bynes was taken to Roosevelt Hospital to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, and then transferred to a Midtown police station to be processed.

Hopefully they send her BACK to the hospital and put her on a psychiatric hold!
