Where has the age of Sitcoms gone?

Reality TV is a joke. When did people stop liking sitcoms enough to have this movement of Reality TV? I watch an occasional American Idol when they're looking for the people to go on the show, just because it's hilarious when people that suck really bad but think they can sing, and get upset when they get outed. I watched the Apprenitce a couple weeks ago, which has led me to lose a fair amount of respect for Donald Trump. The only other shows on TV it seems are the CSI/Law and Order type shows, which do have some entertainment value to me, and seem like its a growing genre which should succeed. I miss the times of Sitcoms on every channel, and I find myself watching reruns of Seinfeld, Home Improvement, King of Queens, Yes Dear, and the like. As far as I can tell, the only shiny spot on television today is My Name is Earl, which is hilarious. I have to cut this short. I have places to be and people to see and things to do and stories to hear and food to eat.
