The generation with the best entertainment.

For the best couple of days, I have been searching up old shows from my childhood. Looking on the youtube comments, it's interesting how everyone seems to think that these old shows were much better then current ones. Now I am of the same opinion, to me it looks like the shows of my childhood were clearly better then their contemporary counterparts. But, this is where it gets strange. If you go further back, you will see that tv shows of previous generations were thought of the same way. So do we just like the entertainment of our era? Or, has the quality of entertainment been dropping steadily over the years?
