I wouldn't say that I "hate" television today but it just doesn't seem to be as good as when I was a kid.
Sure the special effects and quality are better but the shows seem to lack something that the shows in the 70's had.
Maybe it's just that there's too many "reality based" shows now. I don't mind Survivor or Amazing Race but every time I turn the TV on, somebody I've never heard of is either trying to lose weight, win a singing competition or some has been celebrity has a television crew in their home.
As for scripted shows today, among the few I watch are LOST, Law & Order and The Office. I'll also watch a few cartoons like The Simpsons and Family Guy but I don't really count those.
Growing up I can recall lots of quality programs that may have lacked the polish by today's standards but were very entertaining and you actually planned to be home to watch.
Among the programs I grew up with and loved were M*A*S*H, Happy Days, All In The Family and Fantasy Island.
But the three shows I enjoyed the most can be found in these clips.

Clip of the Week - November 19/07
I love watching old TV shows that I enjoyed as a kid. Of course for me, being a kid was in the 70's and 80's so there were plenty of great shows to choose from back then.
I'll admit it, I watched The A-Team, The Brady Bunch, The Jefferson's, Good Times, Charlie's Angels, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Duke's of Hazzard and of course The Six Million Dollar Man. I still remember pretending to be bionic while playing with my friends.
And nothing was more enjoyable than the old Game Shows that don't seem to be around anymore...at least not on cable.
I loved watching:
The Newlywed Game
Match Game (host Gene Rayburn)
Family Fued (host Richard Dawson)
Beat The Clock
Definition (host Jim Perry)
Front Page Challenge (host Fred Davis)
Hollywood Squares (original)
Tattletales
The Dating Game
Let's Make A Deal (host Monty Hall)
Below are a couple of clips I found of some bloopers from Match Game and Family Feud. I hope you get a laugh from them.
