I give up!

This week offered two items that made me want to take a long walk off a short pier. Faithful readers will require no additional comment from me. Unfaithful readers, I won't subject you to a rant. I just feel like giving up after seeing...

ITEM: If you still care about TV Land, read this article about the network's plan to revamp its primetime lineup as all-reality as it tries to get rid of those pesky older viewers who like classic TV.

ITEM: Hey, guess what show made the cover of "Entertainment Weekly's" Fall TV Preview? Yep, "Gossip Girl," the one that averaged just over 2 1/2 million viewers last year.
