The differences being instead of partying it up at a string of bars, or in someones apartment while laughing at cans of beer where Batman is eating a chick out (Red Dog beer logo), we have kick rear end houses to lounge in with good food and some fun party games to play. It's just the random discussions can go into old person ville. Dentures, Mortgages, and Docker.

I'm really hoping it gets solved, but tbh I'm kinda expecting to be stuck with a kinda strict diet for the rest of my life. When I was home over the holidays and found my parents had a bag of prunes, instead of being like "ha ha poop problems", I was happy to see they got the good kind. You can get the mole removed for like a couple hundred moles. I wish more people with unfortunate moles knew this. EDIT: couple hundred bucks

With age, life gets worse in some respects, and better in others. It's all a matter of attitude and perception vis a vis which way the scales tip. I fuckin love the way technology advances. The video games I play now are way way way cooler than the monochrome poo poo from the 70s and 80s. The lovely music I hear nowadays sucks way way way more than the lovely music from the 60s and 70s and 80s. The beer I drink now is way way way better than the poo poo I guzzled in my teens and twenties. TV sucks more than ever. It sucked back then, sucks worse now.

The golden age was pretty much that, cool poo poo like Twilight Zone, Alcoa theatre, Red Skelton show, Smothers Brothers, Jonathan Winters, Laugh-in, Ed Sullivan, etc etc etc. The high points of the last 2 or 3 decades were fewer and not as high as some of the good poo poo from my day. Especially cartoons. When I was I kid, the stuff I saw was Wolfgang Reitherman, Ub Iwerks, Thimble Theatre, all really good poo poo. Fuckin Hanna Barbera stuff is lowbrow garbage compared to a good Reitherman.

Then again, ten thousand cop shows CSI:[insertcitynamehere] and five hundred forty-six daytime talk shows and Judge JUDY/BOB/ROY/WALTER/WANDA JUNE plus the latest late nite tripe (God, I miss Steve Allen) makes me think "No, you're wrong".

My real question is: is that a reflection of our culture or just the weird director-centric nature of modern TV. Like, the guys who become names of themselves, Aaron Spelling, Joss oval office Whedon. They stay on directing tv shows, they'd never make it in movies (except David Lynch). Like, did the writers' strike just neuter creativity? A lot of new series are just fanfiction of older stuff (including reality tv, holy christ). Not like I give a gently caress that some guy who was on MASH kicked the bucket, but yeah, was television better because the world of ideas was smaller or because creative types had more freedom?

phasmid posted:The internet does change things, I grudgingly agree with Zzulu, but yeah. I think it's a bit of both, with an added dollop of lowest common denominator. For example, cop shows have always been a major thing on TV with the examples of Dragnet, Hawaii 5-0, Highway Patrol, Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice, ad infinitum. The current glut is probably due to a lack of effort on the part of writers/producers/directors. "COP SHOWS MAKE MONEY LET'S MAKE MORE COP SHOWS AND MAKE MOER MONEY! The 50s and 60s saw the same thing with horse operas. Not that stuff like Gunsmoke and Wanted:Dead or Alive and Wagon Train weren't decent TV, but it was a zeitgeist thing. I just wish that (good) sci-fi could get a foothold in the same way.

With big genres like that (cop shows and westerns) there has to be some cream on top. To my mind, sci-fi has more lowest-common-denominator stuff than many westerns did. It's just reiteration, but now the gunslinger is in a pressure suit and whether it's cream or not has to do with what network success it enjoys and...yeah, just luck. Guess maybe you can fit cowboys into spaceships but not vice versa. It is partly cultural for sure though, because the Brits make better cop shows than Americans do. Except maybe the Wire and mob dramas (few and far between).

phasmid posted:sci-fi has more lowest-common-denominator stuff than many westerns did That's because writers outside of the genre tend to suffer from 'Monster Of The Week Syndrome' (see Lost in Space). Early TV sci-fi was more '"space ships and lasers and BEMs!" than thought provoking ideas. The original Star Trek series managed to avoid that to a large degree, with writers like Harlan Ellison, D.C. Fontana, Norman Spinrad, Gerome Bixby, et al. The first Battlestar Galactica suffered more from casting than writing, in my opinion, but still some of the episodes were horribly scripted and plot continuity was not something I came to expect from one week to the next.

Let's not forget reality shows which I believe are the downfall of modern society. Way worse than the worst cop show. Remember good TLC or MTV with videos ?

Being early 30s is ok. You give less of a poo poo about what people think of you, nobody expects you to go partying on NYE, and you start earning decent money. Bad parts - no longer having the time to listen to new music, biological clock ticking, metabolism slowing down. Oh and hangovers getting super loving awful.
