What's on the screen?

Our television has been on at least 7 times in the past 3 months. The summer season never has new shows, but it's October and I have not been attracted to anything. I like Glee but all the great performances are on YouTube. I watch YouTube a lot. That includes Hulu and Vimeo and iTunes (College), the internet makes the best of television available by searching. This week I discovered the LipDub videos from colleges around the world. The format is interesting: a horde of students perform a continuous (one uninterrupted stream!) interpretation of a popular song on the campus of their college. Of course it's cute and corny, but the best presentations seem spontaneous, involve many individual personalities, and everyone has tons of fun. Where is the fun on television?
