movies/tv Is there nothing to watch on TV nowadays?

[Number62 1,258]

I don't know why one must stick to current cartoons/shows/movies. There's a lot of stuff out there.

I haven't really watched TV in about 2 years since I haven't had an Ariel in my room since my family's most recent move but from what I've seen in the time I spend in the lounge room, there doesn't seem to be much on TV, there's a few shows that are worth watching but they're pretty sporadic I feel.

I doubt that we'll use TV's in the future. Technology is really going fast nowadays. You can find everything you want on the Internet.

 

Although, to stay on topic: 

 

I m sure there's always something you can watch, there are a lot of programmes that  have amazing movies, shows, cartoons....

 

It is the fact that we're getting more used to the Internet than TV in this time.

Because you can have all good things in Internet.

You can choose what you want to watch in internet, unlike TV.

No interrupting Advertising.

To be honest. I have always thought that TV was mostly pointless. that being stated. Not there is not really a lower quality now. If anything the opposed is true. There are a ton of nice well done shows out. Just none that I like.

 

In the past 10 years just one after another well done and executed shows have been out... just none that I Like... see how this works. I don't like them. That does not mean they are not good.

But there have been a lot of shows I did like. To the extent that a lot of my favorite shows ever have come out as of late.

 

MLP:FIM.

Avatar TLA/Korra.

Adventure Time.

Gravity Falls.

Steven Universe. (I'm actually not a huge fan but its DAMN good)

-
Before that.. ya there where some good shows in the 90's / 80's.

Married with Children comes to mind.

A lot of cartoons.

Batman TAS.

All the Disney / Steven Spielburg presents stuff. Cartoon Cartoons....

 

And I'm missing a lot in both time periods.

-

Now I will say that I don't like the big stuff out right now. but its not because its not good... Its because its... well Immature.

Walking Dead.

Game of thrones.

Breaking Bad. (Not on the air anymore but you get my point)

Sons of Anarchy.

 

All of those shows... There actually very immature. Why?
Well because being based on sex, drugs, violence does not make you a mature show. it makes you immature.

Heck a lot of Cartoons are more Adult now.

Avatar TLA for instance it addresses a lot of very adult fears/problems.

So in Short.

No it's not TV... It's you/Me.

 

Shows are actually mostly better now.

There seam to be LESS good cartoons out but the good one's are actually higher quality.

_


P.S. Go back and watch some of the really big Cartoons from the 80's.

He Man, TMNT & G.I.Joe..

 

All... Practically unwatchable.

And Transformers is not a whole lot better.

But the big issue you most likely have is simple...

TV Is dying. Because the Internet is basically TV+

Give it another... five-ten years. TV will not be a thing anymore.

Few and far between, peeps. I'll watch cartoons and a few other shows.  Tbh, TV programming needs to be a lot better. 

[EpicEnergy 23,220]

I don't watch TV, I use digital services now though not often.

[Fluttershutter 2,497]

Very little, especially with covid. I really want some good Star Trek, Babylon 5, or Stargate type shows. The Orville is my last hope I'm impatiently waiting for.

I'll probably check out Shadow and Bone.

I don't really watch anything on TV anymore as there's isn't really any good shows to watch, pretty much just watching older shows I have Blu-Rays/DVDs of now.

So with Smart TVs (mainly 4k and 8k ones) on the rise, they offer shows, movies, among others, cable TV doesn't show, mainly because the channels you want to watch are locked behind their annoying paywalls so it seems that cable TV is gradually meeting their inevitable demise.
