Love the older movies too. Great stories and not a bunch of remakes.

Check out Barney Miller. You’re welcome!

Yes, old movies, 30s - 60s. I love modern tech where you can watch part of one, come back later and watch some more.

I will admit I'm not immune to nostalgia bias but some old shows that I remember as great can be awful in retrospect.
That said there are some old shows that still hold up with production values and quality of heart and spirit.
The average non-HBO or Showtime show, see CBS, NBC, ABC was better in the the 70s and 80s.
Smarter, more interesting and better actors.
See any big 3 network shows like MASH, Rockford Files, All in the Family, Columbo, Little House on the Prairie...
And then see Two Broke Girls, Two and a Half Men, Kardashians, everything on MTV, etc.
Old shows seem to have soul. Which is what we're missing now.
Is TV better now? Yes. But that's due to the Premium channels making TV the cinema. Traditional sitcom, shows on the Big 3 are worse than ever.
Without HBO and Showtime, TV would be unwatchable. That's why most cut the cord.
