I'm done with Television

started watching some Simpsons again, randomly picking episodes. Not as good peak Simpsons, but there's still gem scattered, like 2/10 are really top tier.
Any episode focusing on Flanders is a good watch for example. Its depressing hearing Marge though, her voice actor is really getting strained.
 
Watch old television, it's never been easier to get old stuff. I gave up on TV a while ago, I don't know what it is but modern writing, casting, editing ,cinematography, it all has this air to it and it sucks.
 
That's me. It's just not worth getting invested in a show only to have it turn to shit 4 or 5 seasons in, or worse, start going heavy handed with some social agenda/propaganda.

…
Or you get invested early on, and a couple of years later, instead of the studio having worked on another season, it's quietly cancelled.
 
Have you heard of 90 Day fiance or Real Housewives. You take the worst people on the planet and put a camera in their face. Magic.



I watch none of these
 
I've created a library of old American, Japanese and UK television and I just watch that. Right now I'm rotating TurboRanger, A Mind to Kill, Wycliffe, Buck Rogers, William Hartnell's Dr. Who, Open all Hours and a few cartoons. A few years ago I decided that it was only going to get harder and harder to sail the high seas so I went turbo-hoarder.

The late 80s to the late 2010s was a very special time for American TV...so much awesomeness...anything that came out before or after that I find that I have to be extremely picky.
