Topic	Is it my imagination or is TV getting worse?
Zeus 02/27/18 12:27:44 AM #51:	Mead posted... Zeus posted... The only thing we're missing is a kickass anthology tv show. Black Mirror and Philip K Dicks Electric Dreams arent your cup of tea? Black Mirror is still on my queue, but its seasons are super short (kind of a trend with the BBC, which has had some shows with 2-episode seasons (most notably Luther)). Hadn't heard of Electric Dreams (which I'll need to check out), but it looks like it might just be a one-season thing from the wikipedia page. At any rate, I'm more talking about something on par with the first two runs of the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits where you also have longer seasons. As it is, we're not even getting that Tales from the Crypt reboot. (Although, with M. Night Shymalan at the helm, maybe it's for the best.) WarGreymon77 posted... Zeus posted... Miroku_of_Nite1 posted... Network decay has ruined many a cable channel. If you want educational programing/documentaries there really isn't anywhere to go outside of PBS these days. But I suppose if you like network sitcoms, dramas its still same shit as always. Well, that's kind of an issue. It's really killed the History Channel, which now spends a lot of its time covering ancient aliens and doing reality tv. However, it's not like that many people watched the History Channel in the first place so... =p Back before the network decay took hold, I always used to say that 24/365, I could put it on The History Channel and be entertained. Prior to the decay, I wasn't terribly impressed either since it seemed to devote a tremendous amount of time to the world wars which are a subject already covered heavily in schools, etc. Granted, to some extent, with the rise of the internet these dedicated channels are somewhat obsolete. If I want to learn about a particular period of history, I could always find a free lecture series on Youtube. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:896842300] in Is it my i...
