Is the golden age of TV over?

One of these is not like the others.

for now, yes

this thread will just be a bunch off "wahh my favorite show is better than other show wahhhhh" though
>>
>>70579892
That's Breaking Bad.
I wouldn't say it's worse, but I do agree that it doesn't belong with these three. The Wire, Mad Men and The Sopranos were drama driven shows, while Breaking Bad was mainly driven by the thrill and intense moments that were going to happen. Those 4 shows are great though.

No "entertainment" driven show can be considered great. Drop Breaking Bad for Deadwood any any number of other non-capeshit dramas.
>>
Nope

>No "entertainment" driven show can be considered great
Drama can be considered entertainment. How can a show that succeeds in being entertaining no be considered great?
>>
>>70580265
They took an american classic and then repurposed it into a breaking bad style fedoracore "entertainment" show. I can't condone that.
>>

>>70580661
If a piece of media is presented in a way that can enage and excite adolescent video game players then it is fedoracore.
Fargotv is fedoracore as was Breaking Bad. I was implying that they took the sensibilities of an existing popular "AUTISM TEEN" show and then applied it to Fargo. I mean, they succeeded on the level that the show is popular, but at what cost to art? Every Malvo scene is so hotpocket that it's like all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad capeshit degeneracy are hitting you in the face all at once.

Perhaps put the AUTISM

VIDDEO GMAE S,S

down and watch a show without a "le epin" edgy anti-hero type character.
>>
why is Breaking Bad lumped in with those boring shows that no one cares about
>>
The Sopranos didn't start the golden age, it merely signaled the beginning of the end for TV. I can't even think of three good shows to have aired after The Sopranos ended.
>>
>>70580902

/tv/ for some fucking reason has this huge fucking boner over Soprano and The Wire. jfc i have never seen so much dick sucking when discussing The Wire or Sopranos.

This
Season 2 is pretty much flawless
>>
>>70579824

Most definitely. Pictured shows all managed to tap into something innate within the human experience. These stories were special not serialized yuck.

Everything now is about fake fucking strong people wearing vinyl or some shit. And it's running out of room in theaters. So, it's seeping into television shows. Nowhere is safe.

>>70579824

Personally, I think tv is going to keep getting better. Probably due to technology more so than acting or directing per se. An interaction effect of sorts. We'll get loads more writers, and even higher loads of actors/directors. It's literally the blacked era.
>>
10 years from now all the popular dramas airing right now will be above reproach just like Le Sopranos and Le Wire and Le Mad Brah. Then you may realize you have always been dumb asshole.

Twin Peaks

Absolute Mad Men

For comedies it goes:
Seinfeld
Father Ted
Black Books
I'm watching Curb for the first time and it's definitely up there

My taste is p basic I guess

Yh it shits all over that soap opera breaking bad

Same, but I wouldn't say it's in the god tier bracket.

Not an argument

anything even resembling words on a piece of paper is better than the shitshow that was breaking bad. Could seriously get 5 year olds to turn in better scripts than all of breaking bad season 5 which was the worst season of television bar none

This. And the fact that television stations realize they can potentially be replaced by the internet, so they no longer can accept any half-assed show anymore.

This is a fantastic show, too bad it'll probably only go on for 1 more season. Unless they decide to do several different stories under one name.

Film and television have always existed to provide entertainment. Even their predecessors, plays or radio shows, were made to be entertaining. That is why people watch them. Even your incredibly dull, patrician bullshit is entertainment, it just goes about providing said entertainment differently and its target audience are spergs instead of normal human beings.

>>70584216
TV's escape from "Muh entertainment" and emergence as a valid art medium is what the entire "golden era of TV" refers to. It outgrew the pleb shit you are talking about.

Breaking Bad is pure hotpocket video game capeshit pornography. Anyone who enjoys it deserves to die.
