Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3135695, member: 1414"] I don't disagree, but I think part of it is because tastes have changed and technology has changed. A 30 minute sitcom on an obvious set feels almost like live theater more than TV. I've got a 75" 4K TV, [I]Andy Griffith, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, Hogan's Heroes[/I] and [I]Gilligan's Island[/I] don't really scale. Does modern TV do shows like that better than those shows did? No. It doesn't. Modern sitcoms mostly stink by comparison. But people are generally looking for bigger, epic programming. [I]Miami Vice[/I] started it all. It was the first time you watched TV made with movie making techniques. Big, almost all filmed on location, a memorable score and soundtrack, and a [U]serial[/U] storyline woven into most episodes. It's the formula almost every big show in the current era follows, especially the cable and streaming shows. If the list was most impactful TV, to me that one is it. [/QUOTE]
