33. Given the state of modern media...

Only geeks would be turned off.

Today's media does tongue-in-cheek campness, simplistic plots that can't follow their own logic, uber-emo content because emotions sell, and a whip-zip amphetamine-addict "pace" to help make up for the lack of thinking that would otherwise be required.

Older television may not look as posh, but it's got the substance today's toddler fodder lacks and so desperately needs.
