You obviously haven't watched Shaun the Sheep.  (Unless you're trying to be complimentary to the average viewer!)

 

He's a real problem solver who's smarter than the farmer who owns them.

All in the interpretation I think. I read ome's post as meaning the average viewers are sheep like in their viewing habits, and not a slur on poor old Shaun.

I thought they were all smarter than the farmer.

I just watched a documentary by Griff Rhys Jones, about Canada. Really well done and interesting. It seems the best way to get a good documentary is to get a comedian to do it.

Griffs travel docos are all worth watching. Combines really interesting information about a place with some great offbeat humour.

…Even news items are ramped up with language that no-one uses in everyday discussion. It truly has degenerated into an awful medium.

Spot on, OT! The sole standout was an attractive young reporter during the fires on the NSW south coast; she spoke quietly to the camera, as if describing the scene to a small group of friends. Never seen her since.

 

My mute button wears out fast; I can’t stand being shouted at by reporters, Harvey Nirman ads, etc.

I watch the odd doco on Netflix (I like the WW2 stories), the occasional Youtoob video sucks me in (most are a waste of time, and designed as clickbait), and I like good documentaries about interesting places.

Besides Auntie and the SBS, we find NITV has some excellent content.
