What do you mean 'bad'?? With shows on today like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child, Jersey Shore, and.....ok point taken.
My personal belief is that the TV networks have decided it's more profitable for them to air cheap shows with lower production values than to spend a lot of money on writers/effects/etc. and make a really good, quality show. Of course there are still a few good shows out there, but they're few and far between and largely rehashes of things that have been done a million times before. I agree the 90s was a really good time for TV, lots of really good shows back then lol.
We have crap over here in the UK, namely Geordie Shore, Made In Chelsea, The Only Way is Essex and now The Valleys, all of these shows make me literally want to throw up. You have to look long and hard to find any quality British shows or comedies these days, but the Inbetweeners and Friday Night Dinner have proven that there is some gems among the crap.
Having said that, i prefer the likes of South Park, Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones to said listed reality crap.
