I remember watching great series on TV in the 90's. Like X Files, The Pretender, Sliders, Highlander, Eureka, Home Improvement, Futurama, and alike. I clearly remember that uprising feeling of watching something good with snacks and beer. They were written by good people. You can feel they cared about content. Then, I woke up in the XXI century saying WTF? All these writers are basically unemployed now, because fucking Hollywood doesn't need good writers anymore.

It's funny. I'll watch the goldbergs when visiting my parents sometimes. Jewish family, but funny as hell, yet so ironic it's probably the most normal family while every other program promotes degeneracy/etc.

They should bring back x files a second time. It was semi decent. Hopee david lynch does another season of twin peaks. The return was excellent.

We tried watching that [the goldbergs] once or twice and just got bored and went and did other things. Maybe we just caught an especially lame unfunny one, or maybe your family just has a weird sense of humour or maybe we're just super grouchy... or something.

It's over the top goofy. Think it just has that nostalgia factor of simpler times

Lol!

Okay, yeah. I am pretty sure we were taking everything super serious again and being all, "I do not find any of these characters relatable or lifelike!" All harumphy and scroogely.

Whaaat?! Pff, mostly no. 90s tv was pretty gay by and large. Of course, the X files was fun early on before it turned into the agent mulder soap opera. The pretender was dumb... but of course I still watched it. Sliders was actually pretty creative, in a dorky b-movie kind of way. I met one of the actors on that show at a party one time. He was weird.

But yeah, hollywood is a vast wasteland of SJW retardedness now, even more than it was back then.

Back then I remember my dad saying that he thought TV and movies used to be better. I questioned if it could just be bias based on what he was used to watching, or good memories standing out more than whatever wasn't worth remembering, or anything else along those lines. Undeniably, MSM has become more degenerate over time though. You can see the contempt many of the writers have for everything you were raised to believe in and value.

I do remember the X Files. I liked the early seasons the most. Towards the end, it was OK, but it seemed off. I remember my mother remarking that they were going all out throwing as many off the wall ideas as they could think of into the plot. And I replied that it still seemed like something was missing. It just didn't have the same draw as it used to have.

I have that feeling more and more these days. You're not getting a glimpse into an artist's vision. You're not experiencing any shared hopes and fears. You're seeing some by the book formula they use to reprocess old scripts to squeeze a little more profit out of them. And you're getting propaganda with in the mix where they think they can force you to accept the brave new world the elites want to replace the traditional world you grew up in.

I watched an episode of party of 5 for the first time recently. Damn I miss the 90s
