Someone that grew up in the 90s and 00s might have quite different likes and dislikes from me.

Your reply is right on target. We are 68 and almost 68 and say often that our actions would not be changed in any which way, shape or form by watching the modern diet of American t.v. Hey, we even enjoy "Dexter." We also enjoy quality shows on PBS.
Another case in point, "Breaking Bad".......( but no way we would become drug manufacturers, etc.)
But, we'd be amiss to notice and realize that these "shows" have all changed since our kids were little and watching "The Waltons" and "Little House on the Prairie".........family type shows back in the 1970's.
I do worry about the younger generation being saturated in either inane comedies or these gory killer t.v. shows.
Parents who limit and monitor their children's t.v. watching are doing their parental duties, for sure..........but as kids get older, they do see other shows at friends' homes. All worrisome to grandparents born in 1945.
I guess we've seen it all and remember it well.........how t.v. has changed for better and for worse.
