What’s Your Favorite Decade of TV, and Why?

[killamch89]

If you could pick one decade of television to watch for the rest of your life, which would it be? The classic sitcoms of the '60s, '70s and '80s, the gritty dramas of the '90s, the reality TV boom of the 2000s, or the streaming-driven storytelling of more recent times?

The 90's, for sure.

ITV was actually compelling entertainment back then. 🥲

For me, it was between the 80s and 90s because that's when most of the iconic modern sitcoms came out. Not to mention Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Nickelodeon.

The 2000s were brilliant too, as you had Sky One with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Pokèmon, and it was also the time I got hooked on VH1 Classic. A pre-YouTube kind of thing where you watched retro music videos amid those annoying ads, like Crazy Frog. 

Then I got into survival horror games and horror movies, which brought me to trying to obtain every top ten film in America since box office records began in 1922. So the journey has been both fun and rather costly.

True - the 2000s did have a great amount of shows such as Toonami and Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Also shows like King of the Hill, Futurama and Family guy.
