TV is free. So are you not supposed to criticize lousy shows because they don't cost you anything?

Wii Sports is free? Does that mean that people who criticize it are wrong?

TV is not free, you pay a yearly license, or in the case of satellite or cable, and month subsciption.

Not if you receive it over the air or watch it on hulu.

Yes, you do.  That is what the licence fee is for.  If you aren't paying your licence you are commiting a crime and can be heavily fined or even face a jail sentance for it.

You're paying for a license, not for the content. The content is free for the consumer.

Just like you pay for a PS3. The content of Home is free for the consuer.

Well, in America, we pay for the channels we want, and pay for the premuim channels too.  We also pay to rent the set boxes so that we can watch the channels.  Unlike PS3 where you pay for the content you want (i.e.: games), in TV you get tons of content you don't want.  Completely, different.  Use a different analogy.
