Comment on Why'd they stopped making tv shows as good as x-files?

  Ask a 5 year old what the best tv show is and you’ll get a different answer

  I get it everybody has different tastes, that doesn’t mean cooking can be of various levels of quality. Just because you like tamales and i prefer borito doesn’t mean there is good and bad attempts at both. However you would expect the frequency of well made boritos to be more or less constant over time. With the 5 year old at least you know whatever they’ll say is genuinely the best show available to them for their age bracket. A lot of the critics’ opinions just don’t add up.

    Do you actually like serialised content? Most TV is now serialised, as opposed to being episodic like X-Files.

      I am not sure, I guess I’ll find out soon enough …from what you said it’s the only show in town…

        Network TV still does police and medical shows that have a 'monster/crime of the week' style, but it's rare now.

    I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure what you’re getting at with the food analogy.

    Your question is like asking ‘Why hasn’t there been another good band since Green Day?’ Some people don’t think they are a good band, some people like them but think other stuff is way better, ect. Again, because good is a subjective measure and (artistic) taste really isn’t quantifiable.
