With shows like Cops, Live PD being cancelled and even some channels saying they won't even air reruns when there is an audience who likes it.
And now shows like Law & Order SVU and any involving authority is being questioned.

Ok I really meant alot of tv, reality shows, other shit. Again though this phrase has literally been repeated by the same side cancelling these shows.

Going thru Pluto TV there is a THC channel for instance, all how getting high and crap.
I don't care for it, never watch it. Do I want the channel removed? No, because there probably is some audience for it.

COPS is a fun show to watch.

There is ALWAYS people with different tastes than you.
You can't just want to cancel everything you don't like.

The problem with Cops is that its production is, in many cases, exploitative. It doesn't compare to a harmless comedy special.

It's called "safetyism" -- the idea that we all have the right to be safe from speech we find offensive anywhere. It's the opposite of the vigorous debate we see in shows like the West Wing or the founding fathers who built this country.

Not even close, that was actually more so the response to my post. I was talking about specific shows. You can ditch the context to everything and try to make me look worse off your perception tho, that's your freedom.

COPS was used as a PR booster for city police departments that had come under controversy for shitty policing.

People often don't know the difference between criticism and being a whiny little crybaby.

It's one thing is there isn't any new eps, but leave the airing of rerruns alone.
Luckily there is still a cops channel on pluto tv, but at this rate who knows how long it has.

Are there reruns of every show ever made on TV? You can find the episodes if you need to watch them that badly lol.

If you were being rational with your complaints then you'd never hear the slogan.

Or maybe the shows would be less profitable now and this is the free market at work.

Is the idea that you want people to have to put in work to find and watch the show?
