Incredibly poor writing, direction, acting, and even lighting and camera work (hell, I saw a dolly shot that looked like it was shot at sea during an earthquake!) And this wasn't just the 70's either, look at all those miserable Westerns....even the vaunted Bonanza is filled with mediocre acting, cheap sets, poor lighting etc. We all tend to view the past with rose colored glasses.

Well, that's your opinion. I would rather watch these great old shows than the crappy post-yuppie 90's bullshit that is all over the dial today. The technical limitations of the old shows are interesting to see today because in spite of this, by and large, the programs had good story lines. I would rather look through rose colored glasses than to have to see the garbage that is out there now.
