The thing of it is, the good TV shows that are around today (and of recent vintage) are really good, while the junk is equally as junky as it gets.
I rarely watch "broadcast TV" anymore though -- this is, I never watch any scripted shows during their first airing.
I watch everything on DVD (or BD).
It's a much more satisfying way to take in the stories.
The added bonus is that there are no commercials (and no monthly fee to TiVO for the privilege).
The lone exception these days is Lost, which I only watch live because I vacuumed up the entire first five seasons on disc and online in about three weeks.
