No. The fact that Botox and “ultimate examples of beauty” has taken over the movie/television industry is not lost upon me. “All in the Family” was like theater with people you could relate to. That has lessened more and more over the years where now the characters are like super people from another world or pure caricatures. If not over the top, sometime begging, humor.

Needless to say I really don’t watch TV anymore. I believe we achieve excellence in stages. Not all endeavors are permanent. Just like we no longer create great massive works of music like Beethoven. The era of great television so too passes its mark. Our best hope is to look forward to a next frontier and stop trying to remake the past. It may be gone but it was great while it lasted and is still there for us to enjoy.
