Those are pretty darn good shows...brianlux said:
Well, to tell the truth, I think TV has always been about brain rotting. But to me the golden age of TV was around the time of Rockford Files, Columbo and Kojak. Good acting, engaging stories, likeable characters, good writing and great filming. Today's fictional TV shows are poorly shot, have forgettable characters, poorly constructed, convoluted writing and reality TV is just unreal and nauseating. But those are just personally biases. Fact of the matter is, TV is still what TV always has been- a device to induce brain rot.HughFreakingDillon said:
disagree brian. tv was watered down feel good shit that had zero semblance in reality back then. now, there is still that, it's just the spectrum has grown exponentially. there are shows that challenge our intellect, emotion, ethics, whereas before the biggest challenge we got was on "a very special Blossom" where she and a friend snuck out and had a beer, and subsequently realized the errors of their ways and went back to white picket fence life.brianlux said:My mother was a TV fanatic and I loved her dearly, so it's not the viewers I would ever say anything against, it's just the shows. And for me, that means pretty much the vast majority of what's on the tube these days.
now we have tv that actually makes us think, starts meaningful conversations, changes culture even. unfortunately, what comes with that is also tv that changes culture for the worse.

I was going to say...I don;t think the book guy is the target audience for TVbrianlux said:
Well, to tell the truth, I think TV has always been about brain rotting. But to me the golden age of TV was around the time of Rockford Files, Columbo and Kojak. Good acting, engaging stories, likeable characters, good writing and great filming. Today's fictional TV shows are poorly shot, have forgettable characters, poorly constructed, convoluted writing and reality TV is just unreal and nauseating. But those are just personally biases. Fact of the matter is, TV is still what TV always has been- a device to induce brain rot.HughFreakingDillon said:
