re: What do you consider the "golden age" for television

I don't see how anyone can say anything but the 00s. There will always be bad TV, but niche programming has allowed some truly stellar shows on the air, and the medium has been able to attract far better talent than it could in the 70s, when it was seen as the ghetto for people who couldn't cut it in movies.

But there was a lot of creativity in the 80s and 90s. Sure it wasn't bug budget, and none of it has aged particularly well, but they tried really hard to do different things.

I still think any list, best half hours and best hour longs, would be made up of mostly shows from that time span.

I'd argue though that the 2000s have been quite stellar so far.
