So today's TV is, at best, one of three golden eras. It's almost as though you really need to specify genres when discussing the best of the medium, because while dramas hit their strides immediately, comedy didn't really find a voice until a quarter-century had past. The Sopranos and post-Sopranos era is strictly limited, in terms of quality, to the gritty, continuing drama, only one of many TV genres.<br /><br />And hear hear to cable TV just leaning on the crutch of being able to broadcast profanity and nudity..."Look at my boobs, now where's my Emmy?"<br /><br />Thanks for participating in this show!
