I stopped watching TV in the late 90s. Unlike most things in my life I didn't do it (just) to advertise my excellence or to distance myself from the plebes. The driving reason was that my access to TV at the time was extremely limited. But I also felt that TV writing wasn't up to par with my intellectual pursuits. I only got back to watching TV two or so years ago. And I was flabbergasted - yes, flabbergasted - at the apparent increased quality of TV writing. The main reason for this is the rise of the TV serial.
