TV isn't going down in quality. We've got Desperate Housewives, Six Feet Under, Simpsons, X-files, The Sopranos, The West Wing, Sex and the City, The Daily Show, Deadwood, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Southpark, Seinfeld, Xena: Warrior Princess ;) , Futurama, Frasier, 24, ...etc. You are just getting old. This always happens. When your list of "good" tv shows was on TV your parents were thinking back to the good old days of Perry Mason and Happy Days and Leave it to Beaver.
Don't get me wrong, TV pretty much sucks compared to most other forms of entertainment, but if anything TV has gotten better (thanks largely to HBO who consistently pushes boundries).
Trust me, oldtimer, in 10-20 years your kids are going to talk about the sucky state of television and lament the loss of quality shows like the ones I've listed above.
