I know this may be Boomer talk, but tell me, what generation had the best TV and the best music.
When "James at 15" came out in 1977 - I was 15. And lived in Boston. And listened to Fleetwood Mac.
Mid to late 1950s to mid to late 1960s.
“60”s. Hands down.
Hell, shows that ranked number 25 were better than the top 5 shows on now.
Combat! And 12 o’clock high were my favorites. A couple of westerns too. But Tv has pretty much sucked since then. I recall in the 70’s whenever some show would have an episode with UFOs, that signaled the end of that show’s series soon after. I guess they thought it would bring in viewers and it was a desperate move.
TV went into the dumper in the 70s
Up until then it GENERALLY re-enforced decent wholesome values that were universally accepted.
Starting in the late 60s, early 70s, it began to work actively to undercut them.
TV today, is largely a waste... more content than ever, and less and less of it worth a damn.
