Assessment comments

The idea that the "golden age of television" in the US was in the 1950's and 1960's is somewhat dubious. For every "Playhouse 90" and "Twilight Zone" there were 2 wrestling shows and 3 middle-brow westerns. In general one could make the argument that quality of the average drama on television is better now that it has ever been. --Francis Burdett 01:39, 22 June 2006 (UT

I agree, this whole article feels very POV-ish, particularly since there are no references to external articles referring to this period of time as the "Golden Age". Jeff schiller 12:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

hey wasn't this period the golden age of British Television when such Writers as the excellent Nigel Kneal and Drama serials from such greats as Francis Durbridge ruled the Airwaves of Britain! american Television has always been tacky and of poor quality.
