Why is TV so bad these days.


I rarely watch it anymore. Doesn't seen to have any innovation, just rehash of everything. YouTube seems to offer better individual entertainment for a million different interests.

Personally i much prefer the old episodic method vs. today's serial technique.

A few exceptions, Fargo probably being chief among them.

There are actually some really good shows out there:

Legion
Fargo
This is Us
Brockmire
Better Call Saul

You have to be selective.

Give NatGeo a look see.

Recently I've started watching Genius a mini series about Albert Einstein, produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard

Someone once remarked to Gene Roddenberry that 90% of TV was crap. Roddenberry replied that 90% of everything was crap.

Having said that, I actually think TV is pretty good these days, witness:

Legion
Fargo
Better Call Saul
Brockmire
Genius
Bull

And I hear that Preacher is very good. I will start watching that in the near future.

TV dramas have become too dark and pretentious and comedies too trashy and unfunny. And hardly original with all those spin-offs.
