Didn't realise how good things were 20 years ago

Last Christmas we were given several DVD's of the old shows which prompted us to buy more.
We are watching Campion at the moment and have had many happy hours watching Mrs Bradley, Alleyne etc.
I don't know about anyone else, but is only now that we are watching quality programs that we realise how much we took them for granted back in the days when the only reality show was the news and you didn't see a cooking show everytime you switched on the TV

There was some quality 20 years ago, but most of programs were far from quality. We tend to only remember the highlights. Just like how in 20 years from now we'll be saying the same about today's programs and mention stuff like Life on Mars, Dexter or The West Wing.
The quality of US imports has improved tremedously - whether its just that we only got the dross back then or it has actually improved (becouse of HBO and Starz) I'm not sure.
However, when TV is good, it's generally very good.
There are too many channels to cater for these days. ITV1 and 2 are trash and ITV3 and 4 remind us of some of the good programmes ITV were once capable of producing.
The problem is that nowadays we have too much choice, so there is a lot of space to fill & inevitably, that gets filled with brown stuff beginning with 'S' & ending in 'T'!;)
