there has been some television that you can respect for the craft that
went into the writing. not often, not not recently i think, but it does
happen. cheers for example was full of tons of well-crafted episodes.
as was taxi driver and mash. now that i think about it, law and order
has some pretty good writing in it. and although i may be crucified for
saying so, the x-files has some of the worst writing ever. it's the
star-trek of the 90's. in ten years it'll be "campy."
