    Oh man, I’m just starting that one myself. West Wing. Sopranos. For some reason, if you can get past the old-person video quality, 20 years ago was peak TV. Gen-X is mostly a waste of oxygen and natural resources, but their art (TV, music) was a Renaissance era.

      No! That’s not true! We’ve just kept the best shows from that era! For every “The Wire” there were a dozen other terrible shows airing at the same time. It’s true that there were fewer shows on TV so there were less to pick from but believe me, in another 10 years people are going to only point to “Breaking Bad” and other shows (Sherlock? Mr. ROBOT? Dexter? Game of thrones minus the last season? we can’t say for sure right now) as amazing and they’ll say “damn, 20 years ago was peak TV.”

      I will say though, it’s impressive that HBO is really the only production company to consistently produce the best TV.

      I’d argue about the waste of oxygen thing, but my gen x coworker says she mostly identifies with boomers.
