    Watch old popular programs and shows from the past.

    There’s a reason why some shows went on for seven, eight or nine years … people liked them and the productions were well done because they had to be back then.

    Nowadays, it’s far too easy to slap together a formulaic show or movie pump it out with a low budget and send it out. It’s good in one way because it gets writers, producers, actors and directors to do work they never could have done in the past but it also means there is less pressure to make something great. Twenty, or thirty years ago and more, a production had to be really well done because it was way more expensive, involved a lot more people and there was far more risks for everybody. Doesn’t mean they always produced great stuff but due to the circumstances, there was more pressure to make great content.

    At this point in media … you can take your time watching what’s new and if you ever feel like there’s nothing to watch … there’s decades of great content from the past that will suit anyone.
