it is an absolute testament to how much more 'sophisticated' TV is these days.
(i cant believe i typed that - as i think TV is shit)
but now the production values are much higher and the themes are far more mature.
i saw a change in TV the way most people dont - as i stopped watching it over 20 years ago - but would occasionally get minor exposure (friends houses, or a flash of a program when the tape/DVD i was watching ended)
I know some things are cheaper to do with modern technology (cgi, etc) to give television a glossier hi tech look - but i think the true driver was home video.
when people could take movies and watch them at home at their leisure - TV had to compete with much higher production values.
too bad the content is still inane.
