How come TV isn't as good as it used to be??

lol wrestling. Finally realize it's scripted?Colin1192

So? I would rather watch that then a real fighting show because it's entertainment and it entertains me. I don't need to see some guy get punched 10 times in the face for real.

I don't know if it's because I'm getting older but when I watch new TV shows or I watch new episodes of the simpsons or family guy or south park, they just aren't as funny as they used to be and I barely laugh. The same thing with wrestling too, it used to be better in the 90s but now it's just awful.

Why does it seem like most TV shows are so bad now?

Why?? I still watch Flintstones sometimes.

South Park and WWE wasn't good to begin with anyway.

To find good shows you have to dig through the dirt to get to the gems.

How did I know there would be FAU people in here?

Really? I find TV to be the one form of media that hasn't gotten worse over the past five years or so.

I mean the old wrestling, thats all I watch and it's more entertaining then anything.

Cartoons have gotten worse. But shows like Sopranos and Breaking bad are amazing.

It's clear TC has never watched Glee before then.

Wrestling is bad now because in the 90s there was actually strong competition. I usually only watch sporting events on TV (NHL NBA NFL etc...). I honestly find more enjoyment watching youtube videos than I do watching TV anymore.

TV is bad?

Like music, you gotta find all the good ones.

I think there are 3.

Still not sure what he was implying, obviously FAU people will be interested in this thread since the whole union revolves around movies and tv shows.

Since 2000: The Wire, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome, Six Feet Under, The West Wing, The Shield, Friday Night Lights, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Justified, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development etc. Television has never been as good. Ever.

I'm still being entertained with Top Gear (UK of course). I fell in love with Game of Thrones. My one friend got me into Doctor Who, so I've been watching that almost everyday it comes on. I'm also a fan of Workaholics.

I do keep up with South Park, mainly to see what they're making fun of now.

Really TV is like music. "There's still good stuff out their, you just have to know where to look" lol.
