I think most older TV series were either never ending, Utter pants or anything that seemed to show any sort of promise was canned for no apparent reason. Theres a few exceptions I can think of but not many. And I cant really think of any decent crime ones Pre 2000. Least none that made it to this side of the pond lol |

I think the newer TV shows benefit from having a shorter season. 10-13 episodes forces the writers to work tighter and you end up with less filler than what we got on the old 20-24 episode network schedule. |

Searched for "best shows of the 2010s" and it's pretty much all dramas. |

The Waltons, MASH and Star Trek TNG, and those are just off the top of my head. Every hour long drama on tv owes a dept to those three shows btw.... they developed the format and all the tropes that come with it. Modern shows are certainly filmed at a higher quality and sometimes the acting is better, but the concept of the shows can often be rather poor. I love modern tv, but it isn't any better than older shows, it's gotten slicker, not better. As for crime shows, Dragnet comes to mind... which again, along with Law and Order set the format that every single solitary procedural crime drama uses now. |
