OK, what the hell is wrong with daytime television? Does anybody actually watch these shows and derive some enjoyment from them? I'm really serious. The few days that I'm home during the day and decide to watch TV, it's a vast wasteland of bad talk shows and soap operas. Am I missing something?

Scathing criticism and fervent support both welcome.

I don't know what's wrong with daytime tv. I've struggled for years to figure out the need people have to air their dirty laundry on television. I mean, if some other girl was doing my bf, and he was dissing us both, he'd be gone. I wouldn't confront her, I wouldn't make him choose, I would just take his shit, light it on fire, and wave bye-bye. I have to admit tho, that it gives me a certain pleasure to watch the trailer-park-crowd frolic on television, in that way that feeds into my superiority complex.. but that's what is wrong with me.. not tv. ;)
