Yeah, the golden age of television is long gone. A few years ago people were saying that that was the golden age because of all the great TV shows, but no. That was the golden age of streaming TV shows where so many shows had episodes that followed up stories on the previous episode so that you get one long movie. Or some did not but were better like Dr. House and Monk.
But the golden age of television was when most TV shows were crap but people watched them anyway and in bigger numbers because TV was the main source of entertainment for many people. With the coming of computers and the internet, producers had to make better shows because they were desperate to grab people to the TV.
Nothing beats times when people turned on TVs and watched crap like "Perfect Strangers" and in bigger numbers than today's better and smarter shows.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
