This headline from Variety really says all one needs to know about the current state of US television:

MTV plans 16 new reality shows

Typical of the upcoming garbage is

The Trump-produced "Girls of Hedsor Hall" [which] will follow a dozen hard-partying young women as they're whisked off to an English finishing school. The series will debut in January.

Maybe I'm naive, but I remember the early days of MTV, and it did quite well by showing music videos. Apparently, that approach hasn't occurred to the solons of Viacom.
