Using cable is for boomers and subscription services are for millennials, !zoomers understand that YouTube is better than almost everything on TV currently.

I'm a twentysomething and I can assure you that YouTube is 99.9% brain-rotting garbage of the absolute lowest caliber. :#marseyyoutubegenocide:

I shouldn't have had to specify that Sturgeon's Law was in effect for YouTube, however sturgeon's law is also in effect for tv shows that have budgets measured in millions of dollars rather than being made as part of a hobby.

The main difference is that there is almost zero high-quality content on YouTube. By contrast, there is tons of high-quality content on television. The worst content on TV is usually better than the best content on YouTube. YouTube is all of the worst aspects of reality trash TV amplified by a million.

You've been watching the wrong YouTube channels. There are no television shows that are as good or as informative as YouTube can be.

!historychads, is MoonieMetro trolling us? There's plenty of excellent YouTube channels on whatever subject you can think of, and you can watch them instantly. With TV, you got Discovery or History Channel. They're crap! :marseymad:

Found the baby who never watched:

  • The Rockford Files

  • Hawaii Five-O

  • Miami Vice

  • Literally 250+ episodes of the good Star Trek plus more

  • The Twilight Zone

  • The Outer Limits (not as good but still)

  • The Untouchables

  • Dragnet (the 1950s one, the 1960s one sucks)

  • Adam 12 (that's actually still good)

  • Victory at Sea

I bet you never even watched Kojak. Literally unable to open up a conversation with an adult Greek woman and you're whining at me about how I should live my life.

The Rockford Files

!boomers, !genx, assorted !oldstrags, was Stephen J. Cannell the greatest television producer of all time? The Rockford Files, Baretta, The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, 21 Jump Street, The Commish... The man couldn't miss. Every show, pure !kino. He even cranked 'em out for the !bookworms with Shane Scully. :marseykino:

>The Greatest American Hero

>The A-Team

:marseykey:ed. The A-team was the best show ever made. I was disappointed to hear Stephen Cannell hadnt created it, but then I learned he did.

This is really tough, because both are god-tier. I'm gonna go with Pale Moonlight though, because I can live with it.

Hard to choose. Both are very good, although I feel slightly overrated as they're about one rung below the best of all time.

I was mostly just thinking of ones I'd seen on Hulu recently. If you're in America at least you can find a lot of these classics every day. Just lay in bed watching Have Gun, Will Travel on your phone all day. Or so I've heard.

There's also some great old shows that you can just watch on Youtube because the copyright holder (if any still exists) isn't trying to fight over it.

And if that fails and you want the really good shit, that's where my external hard drive full of the greatest works of mankind comes into play.

During football season I see commercials for the garbage dramas that Fox is pushing. There is a ton of content on youtube better than "The Cleaning Lady" or "High Potential"
