I have been renting the old TV show Thriller which was screened in the early to mid 1970s.
It ran for 43 episodes, and it was as inventive as it was extremely crazy at times. It's finding a new audience to DVD rentals, which is good.
But I reflect with fondness on this type of television. Where are the new TV concepts like Thriller, or Play For Today?
As much as I do like to tune into Big Brother, I very rarely watch reality TV. I find it boring and cheap, and worst still it makes "stars" out of people with little or no talent.
Yes, there are dramas being made today, but they often have s_x, violence and good looking people to draw viewers. What happened to the well-crafted story, and character acting?
