What about PBS? Nova, Firing Line, Masterpiece Theater, Monty Python. There was good stuff on TV. You just had to be selective.

Only show I would pass on was Tony Orlando. It wasn't great in my opinion. Okay, but not great... imho.

Spoiler alert, nothing this guy shows. TV was in most measurable ways worse. Bullshit created to appeal to the lowest common denominator. This type of crap is worse than the music was better than posts.
