These are also your words
Just flipped through the first 10 pages... can honestly say I haven't watched any of this stuff.
So now I can honestly pose this question...
How can you continue to defend modern TV in a comparison to classic TV when the foundation of your viewpoint is flawed?
Or ARE you proving my point at least to the existance of youngsters purporting to be intelletual? If that's your stance, your argument proves otherwise.
None the less... loved the discourse. :D;)

P.S. it's Matlock:D...
:pthanks for helping!:p

Festus was on Gunsmoke, Marshal Dillon. Chyanne was a good western when I was a kid so was Bat Masterson and Have Gun will Travel.

My dad was glued to every episode of Gun Smoke and asked me (all of 10 yrs old at the time) why I never watched it with him. I said, because it's fake. And he says, No it's not. That's how it really was back then. So I walked over to the screen where it showed him high on a mesa looking over the valley and repeated, because it's fake, as I pointed to the jet leaving it's vapor trail in the upper right corner of the screen.
My dad never tried to get me to watch it with him again. Not sure if I won that one or lost... looking back, I think I lost :(

Lol, I didn't appreciate the westerns when I was younger either.
I'm from New Mexico. In town, there was this building that always stood out. It was an old Victorian looking hotel, pink with pink curtains, looks like a whorehouse. Just recently I found out it was (still is hopefully) where a bunch of the stars stayed while filming those old westerns, I think they have a shrine in there to the stars and shows. I'm hoping to check it out next time I visit.

I don't have an argument either direction, I'm not closed minded and biased like you clearly are. I CHOOSE not to watch old shows. Not because modern shows are superior or vice versa. I just don't have time to sit around watching a billion hours of old shows. Most of you watches these as they aired yet fault younger generations for not being born in the same era. Pretty faulty logic of you ask me. You sound exactly like your parents who tried to convince you that the music you listen to is noise and not as good as the music of their era...only you're changing targets to television. Care to take a guess at the average age on this thread? There's very few people under 30 posting. Coincident? I mean there's channels that still play these shows and most of these shows are available on dvd and online streaming. Everyone thinks THEIR era of music, TV, movies, athletes etc is superior to the next generation. You're only proving that point
