Well, that might just be some nostalgia combined with Sturgeon's Law.

Absolutely, but if you look at shows that were really popular in the past and compare them with shows that are really popular now, in my opinion there is a significant drop in quality. I'm well aware that there is no such thing as "a time when movies didn't suck", but I find that with information being so easily accessible (a lot of it incorrect) with the advent of personal computers people are less inclined to think for themselves, or think in general, and this has contributed in a significant way to stupid, emotionally and intellectually undemanding entertainment being emphasized.

EDIT: There's no real way to prove that though and it's not really a discussion I want to have.
