    You should have seen TV when I was a kid. Jesus. Despite my fervent nostalgia, I can hardly watch anything from the 70s, 80s, even 90s.

    Exception to the rule: MASH was fucking great, though diminished by the laugh track. Without? Some of the finest TV ever filmed.

    Despite the hate the final two seasons caught, GoT was rock and fucking roll, had never seen so many people so deeply invested in a TV drama. OK, “who shot JR” was one hell of a summer. :)

    Wife and I are watching the new Shogun again. Compared to the 80s version, it’s the same story filmed by toddlers. (Respect for the original and the work done! Way ahead of it’s time!) My god, it’s so far beyond what even the best movies were in the day, I haven’t words.

    And there’s so much more quality TV I haven’t scratched the surface. 80s me would have shit kittens to see some of these shows at home, let alone in the theatre.
