Seems like there is a wider spread, the best shit is WAY better than the best series of the 90s. The worst is toxic, contagious, radioactive vermin that should die.
this is just back to my original answer: shows didn't have a tenth of the budget back then that they have today, so no, earlier than twin peaks, there is no equivalent to game of thrones
the best classic television that i'm aware of is the obvious stuff, twilight zone and star trek
I suppose my experience of "TV" is really "Netflix and HBO"... so excluding netflix and HBO TV sucks donkey dicks
there is absolutely no way they could remake "married with children" today
just about every topic of laughter and ridicule is now off limits due to pc era
except them laughing at al bundy
to expand on the budget thing because i think a lot of people assume that just means special effects
with a marginal budget you cannot afford:
- location shooting: everything will be filmed in a super cheesy looking studio
- cinematography: everything will be flatly lit and look like a living room
- editing: you need to stick to 1-3 fixed cameras, medium shots only, forget tracking, close-ups, long shots, basically all of the language of cinema
- original composition: you get a theme song and a few synth stings, hope you don't need to rouse any emotion
- talent, by far the most important: you can only afford the writers, directors, actors, etc. who couldn't make it in hollywood, because if they were any good they'd go where the money is
cable happened and changed everything about the revenue model, streaming happened and did again, and that's why television today is higher quality trash
also yes mwc is the greatest television program
my favorite part of mwc is that it caricatures both sides to such a degree it's impossible to tell who it's mocking more - it's like south park but without the bitter rage and cynicism
like al's favorite tv show is "psycho dad", about a heroic dad who kills his family and goes on adventures
