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.
