Or GAME OF THRONES, ARROW, SHERLOCK, HOUSE OF CARDS, DOWNTON ABBEY, LONGMIRE, for that matter.
And, last I looked all those listed shows, mine and yours (except maybe US STEEL HOUR) are available today and watchable by anybody who, ahem, takes the time to find them. Most can be purchased at low cost, too.

So, excuse me, but I'll stand my ground; nothing of value has been lost. |
We've traded quality for quantity.
Yeah, no kidding, I can watch (and have watched) DVDs of the great old shows, or I can find them on the oldies channels. That's not the point.
The fact is, in the good old days, there were fewer choices among shows of higher quality. Now there are all kinds of choices among shows of mostly horrible quality. Perhaps there are as many quality shows now as there were then, but the percentage of such shows is way, way lower--they're overwhelmed by
Honey Boo Boo and shows of that ilk.
