Glad you like my avatar and signature. Not sure what that has to do with the fact I do not watch TV.

Oh great, now the new Apple "power users" will be (well actually have become) fashionistas and Kardashian wannabes and Apple rumor sites will become more Apple TV celeb gossip columns than tech oriented (e.g. what happened to HuffPo, believe it or not it was once a tight community discussing politics)... of course for those running Apple rumor sites the good news is there's a lot more money in celeb gossip!
Showbiz types think that that the general public is fascinated by what they do, when in reality no one really is. Also, no one besides Apple is clambering for shows made by Apple.
You'd be surprised how many people like this kind of trash tv. Including my wife.
There actually is a market for E! and TLC.
Mafia and space demons are much more interesting a subject to "wonder" about. Morning talk shows? I don't think so.

After reading this article about the planned TV shows, I don't think any of these shows interest me at all, so maybe I'm not the target audience. Sounds like you will like it though.
Actually, every single moving image production, be it a series or feature film, will rise or fall because of a script. Stellar acting, cinematography, directing or mise-en-scéne created by creatives can only enhance what has been written but can’t save a bad script.
I wonder if this will be USA only ?
Apple's morning show drama starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston is in the casting stage, and Billy Crudup and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are the show's latest additions, reports Variety.
Crudup will play Cory Ellison, a "forward-thinking president of the network news division," while Mbatha-Raw will play Hannah Shoenfield, a "whip-smart and charming" booker of talent.
Mbatha-Raw is known for "Black Mirror," "A Wrinkle in Time," "Irreplaceable You," and "The Cloverfield Paradox," while Crudup is known for his roles in "Spotlight," "Jackie," "Alien: Covenant," and "Justice League."

The as of yet unnamed morning show drama will also feature Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and, as announced earlier this week, Steve Carell, best known for "The Office."
The upcoming show is based on Brian Stelter's non-fiction book "Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV." It will explore the drama-filled lives of the men and women who star on morning talk shows.
Apple has already signed on to air two 10-episode seasons of the show, which is being produced by Witherspoon and Aniston.
Apple has more than a dozen original television shows in the works, the first of which could debut in March 2019 through a rumored video service that Apple is planning to launch. At least some of the content included in the upcoming video service could be free to watch through the Apple TV app.

Actually, The Newsroom was far from nudity and language. It's a pretty good political drama. I wish they would remake it (or continue with the same cast) using today's current events. That would be interesting.
Exactly, your argument hold no water. Those are YOUR preferences and have nothing to do with being out of touch with normal everyday people. Thanks for proving my point.
