re: Is it just me or has writing/acting on network television become absolutely awful?

Ghosts and Abbott Elementary are the only scripted shows we regularly watch on network TV. After Goldbergs and Modern Family ended (neither show was anywhere close to as good as when they started 10 years prior), there's not much else. I liked Alaska Daily, but wasn't surprised it was cancelled.
911 and 911 Lone Star were OK for a while, but they got WAY too cheese week after week. I like Peter Krause, which is the only reason I started watching. I'm pretty sure Rescue: Hi Surf is going to be pretty much the same.
Accused on Fox was pretty good last year, and it's getting ready to come back for Season 2- scripted show, but each episode is a stand alone story. I think it's a UK adaptation.

When has it not been awful? 98% of network television is absolute shite

Mine would be The Good Place which began in 2016 and ended in 2020, so 4 years ago. Technically though Brooklyn Nine-Nine ran until 2021, but began in 2013. But still 3 years ago.
The Good Place was pretty great. I'd recommend to anyone that hasn't seen it.

Pretty much the only network shows I watch with any regularity is Blue Bloods (which ends in December) and the L & O trio.
If you wanna consider soaps then I watch GH.

Network TV has declined. There’s so much more on cable.

They've pretty much thrown in the towel and cast their lot with game shows and "talent" shows and gone all in on sports programming.
Probably make more money with this formula anyway.

Well, merit/writing talent is a lower priority for hiring in Hollywood, now. Other, non-meritorious reasons are higher priorities. So, what do you expect?
Or, or, it’s because any good writer is working for a streaming service, FX, HBO etc.

Like the single mother of 3 with an IQ of 160?
This!
I tried the pilot (mostly because Kaitlin Olsen is sexy & runs around in a mini skirt the whole show) but damn…the premise was so stupid & writing was so lazy. It was brutal
