Very perceptive.
In fact, it appears to have already begun to run its course. The problem is that it is very inexpensive to produce when you consider alternatives like West Wing or Law and Order.
Speaking of racy, the House of Representatives passed a bill yesterday to raise the fine on broadcasters from $32,000 per occurrance to $500,000 per occurrance for incidents like the Janet Jackson costume malfunction during last years Super Bowl.
Now, it's up to the Senate to pass it as well.
