In My mind there were three very different periods where TV peaked the 50s mid 70s to early 80s...and the Seinfeld Era ending by season 5 of 2 & 1/2 men and Everybody Loves Raymond. Dick Van Dyke, The Honeymooners, the Twilight Zone, Perry Mason timeless classics...depending on taste people will throw in variety shows personally Abbot & Costello Show, also The Alfred Hitchcock series. A few gems in the 60s not many. The 70s peak can only be appreciated with an understanding of what was going on after 12-13 years in Vietnam, Nixon paranoia and the recession and energy crisis, very liberal agendas that just made crime go through the roof, and the assassination of MLK Jr...shows like All in the Family, Marry Tyler Moore, Mash, Star Trek late 60s, Barney Miller, The Equalizer...some more depressing sitcoms that had to insert some morality lesson like Good Times, Welcome Back Carter and even Soap which just went from funny to political liberal propaganda....prime time dramas were just as ridiculous as day time soaps. The 80s in the day you either liked soaps, game shows and cartoons...Then daytime was hijacked by ridiculous talk shows by Phil Donahue...then Oprah robbed the crown...creating entertaining but repetitive Maury...and my only Favorite May she enjoy her retirement Judge Judy! In the 80s just pour on the cheesiest worst family shows including Cosby...Home improvement with Cheeers being really a prelude to Seinfeld. Seinfeld broke the barriers pointed out hypocrisy in ourselves as if each character represented a part of ourselves the angry and embittered, the happy go lucky child, the responsible mature one, and the let's party like it's Studio 54 nut, with an even funnier ensemble surrounding them. Which occurred simultaneously with the first "office" show but surrounding a fictional talk show The Larry Sanders show, a successful character spinoff with Frazier, and the first really funny family show Everybody Loves Raymond...Some will argue the first 5 seasons of 2.5 Men...but in honesty it was straight vulgarity. Outside of Curb the only funny I've seen on the gamut of streaming and channels is Curb and dark humor. HBO originals haven't put out a compelling show since The Sopranos, Curb, Sex and The City, and Entourage..One can argue OZ and Tracy Ulman if they wish. Then there is all this hype with "Wandavision". Even without the sitcoms mentioned above, I had to shut it off 15 minutes in. I don't know what the anticipation was for, I saw an attempted mockery of Lucy, George Burns and Gracie Allen, Bewitched, and Jeanie (the last two should be mocked)... but the mockery wasn't funny...actually the only thing comical was the theme, music and clearly periods of laugh tracks which were not effective. This show is moronic, for individuals and families and the only thing it accomplishes it makes the Mandalorian look like genius. I should get a free month of Disney+ just for entertaining the idea of trying this garbage out...I couldn't power to the end of the Pilot that's how uneventful and lame it was.
