Just got a DVD copy


I am re-watching When Things Were Rotten on some DVDs I purchased on-line and they are good copies. However, as much as I loved this show when I was a kid, it doesn't really hold up now. It looks almost like a school play with lots of groaners and over-the-top acting. It was worth it just to hear that great theme song though.

I do have to disagree with the idea that TV was better when we were forced to watch the best of what was on the 3 networks. Most of those shows were horrible, but we watched anyway because there was nothing else on. Now I can pick and choose between multiple networks and watch whatever I want whenever I want.

You honestly think the tv landscape is better now? Im not saying every show back then was some golden nugget, but to prefer now to then, overall....you'd have to really enjoy badly scripted "reality" tv.
