Are Miami Vice and other 80s shows good? Are they at least better

No. Columbo is the only police show from the past still worth watching.

I think that we are living in a golden age of television now.

I just finished watching Orange is the new Black, and it's totally kick-ass compared to anything I have ever seen from earlier decades.

The old shows of the 70s/80s/90s were incredibly tame. Their scripts were sanitized to make sure they didn't offend anyone. The result was that they effectively cut the balls off of any script that dared to be bold.

With internet distribution, we don't have that problem anymore -- scripts can dare to offend people now, and the result has been a phenomenal increase in quality.

I started noticing the new "golden age" of TV back when Arrested Development came out. Ever since then, I noticed a significant increase in quality of the best shows. (Maybe it started a few years earlier and I didn't pay attention.) Now, shows from earlier decades just seem like bland baby food to me.

TV is unwatchable these days but 80s TV isn't much better.

what shows are you watching? tv is great now.

Go watch Charles in Charge or Maude.

Miami Vice is an acquired taste. I used to watch it at my dad's house w/ the windows open, but he lived on the ocean so it was freezing. Nice as fuck. The gunfights are fun to watch and the fits are fire desu.
