Nope. You've gotten older. All older people deride the media of the current generation. (Elvis was widely derided as "crap" as were the Beatles) In fact, we're in the "best ever" days of television.

Consider:
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
Mad Men
Orphan Black

Compare this to "The Flying Nun" or "Benny Hill" or "Chips" or "Married with Children" or really any number of other drivel. Shows like M*A*S*H were the far outliers in the past. Today shows like "Sherlock" are orders of magnitude better in terms of production value, creative content and acting than so much that came before. YOU may not be the market, but objectively (by market share) and subjectively (by critical and audience engagement) TV is attracting the best of the best in terms of creative talent.

This article really goes into it deeply:

What's considered "good" is definitely defined by your age. When I was young, the Led Zeppelin that I liked was considered way out there by my parents, but now I hear it on elevators.

When I go to an NHL hockey game, they often have a choice of three songs to "play next" during intermissions. The audience gets to vote (with applause volume when the songs are announced). It is almost always the "oldie" of the group of songs wins. Probably because, by-in-large, us old people are the only ones who can routinely afford the expensive NHL tickets.

I have fond memories of watching the "Get Smart" TV show with my family when it was originally aired. Somehow, I think if I watched it again now, I would say, "What a idiotic show!"

I was into rock-n-roll in my youth. Now I'm into Beethoven, Debussy, Liszt, Brahms, Chopin ... times change. We get old (which kind of sucks, but the alternative is worse).

There are a few contemporary exceptions of course, but there were so many great TV shows back in the 1970s, 80s and 90s in the UK, many you wouldn't of heard off in the USA.

The Ascent of Man
Portahouse Blue
Survivors (1975)
The Sweeney
The Life and Loves of a She-Devil
Hamish McBeth
I, Claudius
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
The Beiderbecke Affair.
Edge of Darkness
Quatermass (1979)
Coupling
Cracker
Rebus
Callan
Boys from the black stuff

I could go on and on. Believe me there was nothing wrong with the acting on these TV shows. I would actually re rather watch 'Blakes 7' than Battlestar Galactica (2004-209) even without the glossy high production values.

I also do not like the levels of violence especially in todays American TV shows. If they ever made a remake of Columbo today there would probably by a SWAT team in tow.

I won't even get onto the state of the music today.
