What Was the Worst Year in TV History?

- With the recent writers and actors strikes and the end of the streaming wars, the immediate future for TV is not looking great. So we wanted to take a look at all the worst years of TV and what made them so bad. It won't just be years that had the worst shows as that's hard to measure but instead what years had the worst impact on the industry. Also note that we won't be going too far in the past because most shows used to be just copies of one another.
We've found 5 years we think are some of the worst of TV and for TV. We'll be looking at the effect of a global pandemic, shifts in the industry, a genre we don't enjoy being pushed to the mainstream and when TV lost out to another form of media.
Chapters:
00:00 - Intro
00:51 - The Year With a Global Event
03:27 - The Year That Pushed a Genre
05:56 - The Year When Film Won
08:24 - The Year When the Industry Slowed Down
09:37 - The Year When Things Look Bleak

Has to be 2008-2010. The writer’s strike really impacted television
Yeah definitely affected TV much worse than film!
Only thing is Breaking Bad started in that time.
No one cares about The Writers Strike of 2023
@@chuuwantsomeofthis tell that to Hollywood 😂
It destroyed my favorite show of my high school years: ‘Heroes’ 😢
I'm so glad Severance made an appearance in this vid! Very underrated show
In a way, TV is having another 70s Jaws moment. In many areas, independent content is far superior now. For instance, I like true crime, history, space, science... nerdy stuff. TV can't hold a candle to UA-cam or podcasts. There are UA-cam channels and podcasters who cover that stuff in long form, and don't dumb it down. And I lap it up. (Sometimes UA-cam is a bit draconian on the True Crime stuff though). The thing is, TV networks have the resources to produce to outstanding content: location filming, CGI, hiring decent actors for re-enactments etc. but they don't do it. It's all 45 minutes, a baritone narrator, a recap every 3 minutes... it's beyond banal. Which is why a history grad student with a laptop microphone and passion is far more compelling to me. It's really only drama, I think, where TV has the advantage.
The 80's & 90's TV was a lesser art form? I may be wrong, but I think those 2 decades hold like every TV record ever. And I'm talking about real viewers choice - cultural phenomenons that haven't existed since. MASH, Happy Days, Seinfeld, Cheers, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier, Home Improvement, The Nanny, Fresh Prince, ... this list can go on and on. TV in the last 20 years hasn't done what those shows did previously.
You are forgetting all the truly awful shows that were a part of those decades. Add in the '70s (Happy Days, MASH) and that's thirty years of shows. The few you list might be good, but the majority were horrible. And there were so many of them.
Blue Eye Samurai from last year definitely the highlight of it IMO
Missed out on that one, definitely will check it out soon!

Uhh, the reality tv craze kicked off with MTV's Real World in 1992.
Hey do you happen to live in Kingston?
Krofts Saturday morning programming alone prevents '75 from deserving to be on this list.
How can you blame 2001 for modern reality tv? The Real World should get at least half the blame/credit and that's 1992.
Or, if you want to point where it changed into what it is now, that would be 1994 where Puck changed everything.
You cover 1975 so there's no reason why you wouldn't be fully aware of TRW's impact. You talk about "remember when The History Channel was about history?" The OG version of that was "Do you remember when MTV used to play music?" What changed that? The Real World.
If you had stuck to the "we're going to focus on recent years" and kept it to the past quarter century then... fine. 2001 and Survivor is the correct choice. But you went back 50 years so... sorry... TRW wins.
The *POINT* about reality TV is 100% correct, just attributed to the wrong show, to be clear.
(and 2024 is a cop out but I kinda respect it on a certain level)
@@waverlyking6045 You basically confirmed my point.
The Real World is what started the modern iteration of "reality" tv. *of course* it didn't dominate the airwaves in 1992, because that was the birth of the era, and "a few years later" was Season 3 with Pedro and Puck. It's like how "found footage" didn't dominate movies in 1999 when Blair Witch (not the first found footage film but *undeniably* the progenitor of the modern era).
The stated metric included "influence" and The Real World was the birth of the genre, not Survivor.
The exact wording is just after four and a half minute mark is "the most significant influence " Survivor may have been the numerical peak, but The Real World was the cause.
Now... if you don't want to include 92/94 because the seeds of horrible tv were planted but the actual content of those years was still great... that's fine.
tv's worst year: was 2020 for arcane
Ironic how you used MCU as an example, which, today, yes, most of everything has been mediocre,
but that 2021 lineup is still its latest best of its tv series. After that, most are awful.
Building a channel on constant negativity is not a sound model😂
I haven't watchted tv in years
2023 was an absolute shiat show.
So… New season of Arcane always means worst year, I guess…
arcane is bullshit.
1:40 arcane is league of legends propaganda bullshit!
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
TV has been the superior format for at least the last ten years.
Arcane is not a gem
exactly! arcane is nothing but a pretentious piece of shit and propaganda for league of legends made by riot games (despite the animation from Fortiche and Ella Purnell's acting performance in a way)
