Yes, it is mindless, stupid crap.........and I love it! It reminds me of the comedy from years ago. 3 Stooges, Jackie Gleason, Red Skelton. Funny, you don't have to watch every show or you miss what's going on, family orientated, no cussing where they have to bleep every other word out. Just wholesome comedy. If I miss a show. it's no big deal. I, too like the shows where I learn something, but sometimes I need to just relax, I turn to DD.
