Movies have also been exceptionally bad this past year as well. I can't think of a single film I saw and said to myself, "man, that was terrific and I'm glad I paid $40 bucks to see it", and my wife and I see a LOT of movies.
As for TV, there's NOTHING on broadcast worth watching, and barely a handful of cable/premium cable shows worth watching. I have nothing against the medium; I would happily watch television if there was something worth watching. There isn't. It's a crapfest.
I find a few shows that I really like. They get cancelled or fizzle out creatively within a season or two.
I still have an open mind and I still look for something to watch.
You are right about the movies, the last couple of years have pretty sparce and this year I can’t remember a movie that I wanted to go see or enjoyed when I saw it.
I marvel that the studios have survived.
