“Income inequality” goes just fine with E network intellect. “Freedom” – with so many subsets – is the one that is hard for them to grasp. Just yield to the bureaucrats, and enjoy E.
Cable or Satellite has good stuff too, informative stuff. You just have to be a little picky. Mythbusters doesn’t just blow stuff up. They teach science, physics but in a wacky fun way. But hey it’s also fun to watch them blow stuff up. If you really want no frills hard core information there are the CSPAN channels.
i’ll admit it I watch Chelsea Lately and Fashion Police on E! but I also watch Consider This on Aljazeera America, Anderson Cooper 360.
SyFy has some really intelligent shows wrapped up in Science Fiction/Fantasy. Being Human, Lost Girl, Defiance, and Haven are basically character studies. The characters often face choices and then are presented with an alternate reality when a different choice is made. Lost Girl explores sexual diversity and what makes a person good or bad. It also looks at exploitation and discrimination from a different angle.
Haven is based on a Steven King story and has all of the New England Gothic elements that come with Steven King books.

Quit cable in 1995 and haven’t missed it. Anything I really want to watch, I can see online.

Springsteen’s “57 Channels and Nothin’ On” was WAY off…
