Don Hewit is a loss, he gave us 60 minutes which is quality TV. Which lead to Dateline etc. So much better than all those reality TV shows, which are a waste of time watching people eat bugs etc.
Hopefully someone else like him will come along and come up with some more intelligent programming that will rid the airwaves of those reality waste of peoples minds programs.
