when sitcoms were good

I remember a time when sitcoms were still good. It seems like ages ago. "Reality" television has ruined T.V. Sitcoms aren't as funny as they used to be (as a general rule) and definitely don't have the value and principles behind them like they once did. I mean, I used to love Family Ties. That show was so funny. But it also had life lessons included. The same was true of Silver Spoons, Family Matters, Full House, and other shows like that. Plus, the laughter of the audience that could heard over the T.V. seemed so much more pure. It made you feel as though you were there. T.V. shows these days just don't give you those feelings anymore. There are no more good, quality family shows that families can sit down and watch together. Parents watch "The Biggest Loser" while kids are busy watching "The Hills" or "iCarly" (depending on the ages). Also, I used to love the old television intro theme songs. We would sing along to them. When I hear them still, they bring back such found memories. Those minute-long intros just simply don't exist anymore. Please tell me that I'm not the only one that remembers and misses those times. Oh yeah, and thanks to TV on DVD and hulu.com (via imdb.com) I enjoy many of my old favorites again!!!
