1) Write the network heads and tell them what you want. They control the channel programming issues. (and they aren't necessarily the most scientifically astute folks on the planet or they'd be at MIT not NBC, ABC, CBS or SciFi.

2) Have you got a "Scientific American" subscription? That magazine exists for those who love science but aren't active research scientists. TV will never compare with the true depth of science that you can find in a magazine or a book. They don't have the time for it in 43 minutes/show. Steven Hawking would have never been a bestselling author if it wasn't for there being many people like yourself that love science.

Just ideas to ease the frustration I hear.
