Legion, Fargo, Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, etc. Golden Age of TV dude FX alone has better shows than all of tvs past FX, HBO, AMC, Starz, Showtime, Cinemax, Netflix, all have great shows. I don't watch much broadcast TV, but maybe those networks(NBC, ABC, CW, FOX, etc) have good stuff going too. I did like the first season of The Orville. There are some great British shows, Peaky Blinders being my favorite at the moment. And Taboo starring Tom Hardy. It seems like the production quality of TV has gone waaay up since 2000 or so and even more big name movie actors are starting to do more TV. --- http://i.imgur.com/NkZUeFd.gif <cite>kind9 posted [p:896852593] in Is it my i...

It feels like some of you have legitimately forgotten what TV used to be like. Fair enough, I'm only 25 so my experience doesn't go back past the 90's. Still, from what I've seen nearly all sitcoms these days have laugh tracks. Big Bang, 2 Broke Girls, Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, Kevin Can Wait, Baby Daddy and Melissa and Joey are a few I can think off of the top of my head. They all have laugh tracks and because of that the jokes feel incredibly try-hard and funny. Whereas I find myself genuinely laughing at The Goldbergs, Brooklyn 99 and New Girl which don't have laugh tracks. Just my observations. --- Well he was Thailand based, she was an airforce wife.

bulbinking 02/27/18 6:52:01 PM #68:	Golden Road posted... Sort of. It's less to do with the shows themselves being worse, though, and more to do with the channels getting worse with programming shows. Anyone remember the days when marathons were only for special occasions, instead of most channels having marathons 24/7? They do it because they know normal people record all their tv in advance and the channels that get the most shows recorded capture most views so they put up entire seasons at a time to capture recording space. Sports is only thing thats watched live anymore. I worked in cable for awhile. --- Qc_Stryder 5/21/2015 6:58:09 AM posted...
