What's the first sign you can remember that TV/Movies were going down the shitter?

[Patty's Stubby Fingers]

When they couldnt even get fucking sitcoms right anymore

Was there ever really a good sitcom besides Married With Children? I never watched Cheers or Frasier but they seem like they were "great" because nothing else was on back then.

 

[Patty's Stubby Fingers]

The Simpsons invented turning to shit

So I guess after 9/11

To double on this Fox cancelling Futurama after 2 seasons showed that networks weren't willing to pay for great shows anymore.

Comedy Central might have been the last great network going into mid 2010s and then they cut Metalocalypse and even the goddamn Venture Bros. Now all they have is South Park

I don't know when I noticed things had gotten bad, but they really accelerated with the election of Donald Trump. No one, not even teens, will ever be nostalgic to watch TV and Movies from 2015-2020.

House MD was the last network show I could enjoy til the end, and that was ten years ago. Movies in the early 00s could still be good, even if they were franchises. Lord of the Rings and Raimi’s Spider-Man were fun.

It got bad around 2012. Obama’s reelection and Hillary’s inevitable presidency gave Hollywood an extreme liberal arrogance and then they lost their minds in 2016.

even the goddamn Venture Bros.

I see you are a man of culture as well

Go team Venture, brother man.

Have you seen radiant is the blood of the baboon heart? Even though the show got canceled the movie gave it a really good send-off.

You could pick up the Blu-ray at the store for about 15 bucks. And don't pirate it because the more copies that get sold the more likely it is that they're going to bring the series back. Got to show support, my man.

Or at least watch it on HboMax

Fawlty Towers, Peep Show, The Inbetweeners

 

[Jesse Ventura]

Probably not what you're asking but I thought "reality" TV was a sign the Jews were getting really unbridled. Couldn't believe the newest form of entertainment was having your untalented faggot child globally humiliated by some homosexual British Kike while an audience of goyim soccer mom cunts obediently clapped along. The Learning Channel going from showing surgeries to gawking at morbidly fat people. Not that I don't hate fat people, but still.

The early 2000s were the end of whatever was left of morality in entertainment.

The amount of absolutely god awful films being pumped out in the early to mid 2000s is something else. The film industry was in a creative rut, and then a few years later they realized leaning into the Marvel slop was the key to making some money again.

Of course a few good ones were mixed in, but the sheer volume of dogshit is pretty amazing.

[Turk February]

When 32 of the 35 top movies were adaptations/remakes, its more recent than you think.

 

[Dog Eater]

Coyote Ugly (2000)

I want to insert a broken beer bottle into everyone involved’s face.

 

[Dog Eater]

Metalocalypse movie

Thank you, I had no idea this had finally been made.

 

[PogromStallone]

Was there ever really a good sitcom besides Married With Children? I never watched Cheers or Frasier but they seem like they were "great" because nothing else was on back then.

Frasier is one of the funniest, wittiest and most clever shows ever written with soem of the best performances in comedy history.

You mean you didn’t like the singsong with LeAnn Rimes at the end?

 

[Opesterino]

The second season of lost in space. that damn robot was up to no good I tell ya!

 

[Dog Eater]

Frasier is one of the funniest, wittiest and most clever shows ever written with soem of the best performances in comedy history.

Niles: “Effeminate histrionics”
Frasier: “Frustrated histrionics”
Father: “Barely concealed disgust at faggot sons”

Amazing stuff really.
