    Born in 1979 & so by time I saw a number of these shows, it was in syndication. But although some great shows like Seinfeld & Friends came along later, I really feel like the pinnacle of weekly tv shows came in with 70’s & ended in the 80’s. Not that there aren’t great shows on tv today(GOT, etc), but it’s just different. Back then-for a majority of families-it was basically a family affair come 8pm & it just had a dif feel then today. Internet is clearly is a big reason for some of that change but society has also changed. Some of its been for the better, sadly some of the change has been for the worst. There also seems to be an attack on the nuclear family which just seems insane to me. Peeps can have whatever kind of family they want. But we shouldn’t be attacking either, whether conventional or unconventional imo. But quality of shows, the content/topics, the era’s, the family dynamic to me just make the 70s & 80s stand out as far tv shows, when they were truly sitcoms & episode dramas. Now everything is streaming on demand & there’s no need to sit around a TV with family to catch something that’s only gonna be on whatever time slot. Until VCRs came along but you get the point I think
