Actually, I like a lot of the dramas of today. They were probably as good or possibly even better than Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, The Lawyers (some of my favorites), Wanted, Dead or Alive (I was absolutely in love with Steve McQueen). I just don't like today's comedies all that much. Couldn't stand Thirty Something; The Middle just gives me the creeps, Modern Family is okay but some of the dialog is irritating.
BTW -- The funniest line I have ever heard was in NCIS. Someone made a random comment about how Ducky looked as a younger man. Gibbs replied, "Like Illya Kuryakin." I almost spit Coke on the screen I was laughing so hard. (Try explaining to a 22 YO why that line is funny. It loses something in the translation.)
And one I totally forgot until now, which is strange because I refused to miss it -- The Twilight Zone. Absolutely incomparable!
