Yes, there is always a mix, and the mix is always mostly garbage.  But if you have a TV in the house, the tendency is just to watch whatever crap is on because it is easy.<p>Any good current show will eventually become a good old show.  And if it is good enough and matches my tastes well enough, I&#x27;ll eventually hear enough about it that I choose to watch it.  And I&#x27;m OK with that.  I have enough going on in my life that I have no need to rush to watch things just because they are currently being released.<p>So I believe you when you say that there are great modern shows.  And I do not see that as a reason to get a TV.<p>Disclaimer.  I grew up without a TV back when that was really weird.  As a grown-up I spent periods both with and without a TV.  I have no TV by choice.  I do have children, but youtube channels seem to fill the place in their lives that TV serves for most kids.
