I tend to agree: TV sucks now and I hardly watch it. Except, TV now may be better than ever, at least the good shows, and only if we count HBO. When I go back and watch old clips of the very best old shows (say Hill Street), they don't seem all that special now. I am sure MASH would seem hokey, etc. I would like to start watching the X Files again, too see how that holds up.
The Wire is depressing, but is a great show. Lost has gone downhill seriously, but was the best thing on for a while. BSG was also great. There are plenty of good shows out there, and DVDs and Hulu let you pick the best ones and the ones you like. I tend to think that movies have gone down hill much more than TV shows: at this point even the best movies aren't that good, and there are very few movies I get motivated to even watch (with that said, I may start a netflix subscription this week and try again).
