Back in the days when there were only four channels on your TV, three network and one local, you always could find something worth watching. Now I've got more than 400 coming into the dish and there's nothing worth looking at. Most nights we'll sit around reading a book or watching a movie DVD rather than look at the mind-numbing drivel that TV offers us.
These were mostly the second tier shows. Look at the names of the stars. A lot of them were big time eventually. We watched religiously and we blocked off our week in terms of what shows were on what nights. These were talented people. There were writers of entertaining scripts, production staff with incredible talent and listen to the music of the themes:
When some of us graybeards sit reminiscing of the good old days, this is part of what we are talking about. There was more, though. A lot more.

Most of the actors names are familiar but being born in 62 I have not heard of any of those shows :D
NCIS, Bones and Castle are the only shows I really block out time for these days, Deadliest Catch, and the new show Top Shot are tops on the Tivo.
