In response to Sarah's letter ... | Matt Roush | 3/31/2008
Question: In response to Sarah's letter on TV being better 30 years ago (mentioning Little House on the Prairie), I pulled up the schedule from one of the years Little House ran. Among the listings: Operation Petticoat, Battlestar Galactica (the hokey original), Kaz, Grandpa Goes to Washington, What's Happening!!, Project UFO, The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, Flying High, Who's Watching the Kids, Carter Country. I watch a lot of TV, but I don't remember most of this list. When comparing to the past, it's best to remember (a paraphrasing of) Sturgeon's Law: 90 percent of everything is junk. Some of these shows may have been popular, but they're not the shows we remember. I happen to think we're in a new golden age of TV drama. But 30 years from now when we remember Lost, Buffy, Friday Night Lights, The Sopranos, and Dexter, we'll conveniently forget Moment of Truth, The Swan, Bionic Woman, 'Til Death, According to Jim, Dirt and a host of shows (both popular and unpopular) that are ... read more
Do you ever think that TV ... | Matt Roush | 3/24/2008
Question: Do you ever think that TV shows, even with all the money spent on them these days, aren't as enjoyable as they were 20 or 30 years ago? If you were not a TV critic and couldn't search out and watch the gems, would the modern TV landscape hold any interest for you? As a child, my mom and I were addicted to Little House on the Prairie, and later, I used to look forward all day to watching the Thursday night lineup on NBC. But now everything seems so different. If people aren't being tortured, killed and autopsied on camera, they're living in a house together ready to kill each other. I guess it's best that kids aren't addicted to TV like I was, but it still seems the total package just isn't as appealing as it was. Answer: I don't hold to the notion that TV was that much better in the "good old days" — except, I suppose, when it comes to TV comedy, which really is in a noticeable downturn right now. The modern TV landscape, as you put it, is enlivened and enriched by its ... read more
